Lunch @ Chuck’s Shop
In the early nineties at FileMaker, we would sometimes go for lunch at this great cheesesteak place near work, Steven’s Philly Cheesesteaks. And the owner, Steve Gauthier, would often be there taking orders. (We would privately refer to him as Chuck, aka Chuck Norris, given his similarities. Yeah, the real Chuck Norris hasn’t aged so well…) Well, years go by and some leave FileMaker… and many more years go by… and some return to FileMaker. So this was a fun photo to take with Frank joining us again both at FileMaker and at Steven’s cheesesteak shop some 14 or so years later:

Mountain Biking at Wilder Ranch
A brilliant day for mountain biking near the coast in Wilder Ranch State Park. We got in a four hour tour around the park: Engelsmann to Wild Boar Trail and Old Cabin Trail, over and down and around Enchanted Loop, up to the Eucalyptus grove and then, after a break, on up Chinquapin Trail to the northern border of the park, back down to the intersection of Enchanted Loop to do Twin Oaks Trail around and then finally up again on Wilder Ridge Trail to finish with Zane Gray Trail. Woo-hoo!
