Sunday, 8:00 pm…
Somehow, without a deliberate plan of doing so, we ended up going back in time today… probably in a subconscious attempt to escape our present reality. After a pretty good night of sleep finally, we went out to breakfast at this place in old downtown Palo Alto that I had noticed yesterday. It’s an old diner that started in the 1920’s and is just a classic place - all original interior with the old booths and fountain bar - and good simple food too. This evening we went back downtown to go to an old movie house we had seen… but it wasn’t just any old movie house. The Stanford Theater is truly like stepping back in time… and they only show old movies there (we saw And Then There Were None, 1945, from the original archived print from film archives - amazing quality - one of the last places in the country that can show these old original film prints) . The theater has been restored to it’s original look with beautiful carpet and sofas in the lobby and a large balcony, art deco lighting, a huge square screen and the best part - after the movie ended, a huge amazing organ rises up out of the floor right in front of the red curtain onstage with a guy playing these old songs on it - the organ music was a perfect end to this day of going back in time… way back…. before all this. It was a good escape for awhile.
Good Night
Dan.

October 31st, 2005 at 12:35 am Dan and Sandy, I just got back from a recent trip to Ca. My grandfather -92 collasped on monday and was rushed to the hospital. After many test’s the doctors revealed that it was a hernia. They needed their family so we flew down Wednesday. Everything went fine. What a relief. They discovered two hernia’s. How precious life is. So sorry to hear about the grade level, but Sandy you are a fighter. A very strong women!! Buying gifts for your roommate- I love it. You have a way of touching every life that connects with you. There is no question why everybody loves you both so much!! Enjoy the sun!! It is 41 degrees tonight, and when we drove over the pass there was a dusting of snow up on top.
October 31st, 2005 at 10:19 am D and S - it is so inspiring to read of the magical connection between you two. If ever I heard of soul mates in action, you two are it. It inspires me to consciously practice this caring relationship moment by moment when times are good so I’ll be an expert when times aren’t so good. Tina R and Dick, too
November 2nd, 2005 at 1:35 am Dan and Sandy, I sent a full medical article to your dano email address this afternoon that might be useful or interesting. Maybe take a quick look if you have a chance? Meantime, visits to the beach sound better! Anne N.
