    She was a fan for sure. I always take my steaks medium just shy of rare, and she agreed.

    We have four, but only one cares for real food. Any time I pull out a steak or a fish filet, he is around with his nose high in the air. Always have to put it in the microwave or cold oven to avoid being disturbed by pointy teeth. Funny thing is, we don't give them table scraps. But his nose tickles when it is good protein.

    Below is picture of the purloiner.

    I'm afraid I'm guilty of giving out Table Scraps. Also, our 2 year old is fond of throwing them treats.

    Here is our 4.

    I have to store my bread in something, usually the oven. Dickens is a starch hound, which is weird for a cat. Making fresh pasta around here can be a nightmare now; raw eggs and starch.

    Excellent shot! Our four are pretty diverse. The only time you see the four of them anywhere in a six-foot area is in the winter when it is really cold and they get on the bed. They get along, they just don't like to mix it up. Below is the alpha. He is a big fellow and quite congenial. I call him half-hitler on account his mustache is partially missing.

    Thanks!

    You need only look at the bottle in the picture. It's Ridge, perched above Santa Clara county (Silicon Valley.) The vineyard has been there since the 1890s. The grapes were being sold to an Italian jug wine maker here in Mountain View (Gemello) until the early '60s, when three SRI engineers bought the property as a vacation spot for their families. One of them (Rob Bennion) started making wine from the grapes there, as a hobby, and people started to realize that the location was very special. These days the Montebello sells for over $200 a bottle. For about 15 years we were on their futures program, which was very affordable, and also a great way to go up the mountain once or twice a year to taste their new wines. We stopped buying futures a few years ago, when even those prices started climbing north of $100. We don't have enough opportunities to justify opening a wine like that, and I'm not "an investor."
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.
