Breakfast in San Jose

Daisy's got her shoebox and she's outta here.

Coloring at the restaurant. Sam is wearing some kind of sacred ancestral Cleveland garment.

Oliver, Buster and Maggie are conferring over a major crayon project.

Dad can draw too! (Everyone, humor Dad. Thank you. -webmaster)

I call this "The Face of the Creative Process." Possible alternative title: "Buttering a Muffin."

Kindergarten graduation

Hard to get good pictures in the Paul Revere cafeteria but here's a rare one that got through the fluorescent lights. Maestra Robin's class is waiting for the festivities to begin. Buster is trying to look serious, between Grace in the foreground and Django, wearing Buster's tux jacket.

Dancing. Buster between Grace and Noemi.

Yeah, jump in there too, Mia.

A good, firm congratulatory handshake from Maestra Robin, Buster's tough but fair, no-nonsense teacher, who taught him many things in that long, eventful first year of elementary school ...

but none more important than the virtue of settling down, sitting still and behaving. Right Buster and Robin?

Riiiiiiight.

Buster, if it's a Martian plane, why does it say, "USA"?
Because that's where they're going.

The museum

A painting of Buster's was chosen for the exhibit "Young at Art," an annual showcase at the de Young Museum for artwork by students in the San Francisco public schools.

"My Farm." Buster does not, technically, have a farm. It was a classwide assignment, to paint a farm.

The artist and his work. It's like the Mona Lisa. A lot smaller than you think it's going to be.

The exhibit is big.

No, really. It's big.

Really.

Really big.

And then outside, there's the Bay to Breakers.

Giants game

Lou Seal, Buster and Marty. There's a good chance at least one of them will be embarrassed about this picture someday.

This is what you get

when you let so much time go by between the taking of the pictures and the posting of the pictures. You get pictures you can't explain because you don't remember. So we now present a series of photos of Buster and Daisy adorned whimsically -- several belts, mismatched shoes, painted face -- but with sad faces. And explanations for any of it are lost to history.
