Cal Diesel


Playing basketball at the Y preschool, with its 5-foot basket, Buster's like Shaq. He just dominates in the paint.

Pumpkin patch

This blog has officially decided to stop trying to catch up, and is now skipping ahead to roughly the present. If your humble blogger is ever laid up for a few weeks, photos from June through October might appear. Meanwhile, look, here's Mom in the pumpkin patch near Stern Grove. It must be almost Halloween.

This pumpkin patch has art projects.

A slide.


And a jumpy house.

Did you catch the outfit?

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.
