i got my oski fixing for the month! got to visit alice, tomio & oski in good ol' sacramento on saturday. in short, we ate a whole lot of food, hung around, visited old sacramento and the capitol, ate some more, then headed back home. oski is his usual crazy energetic self, running around with a nasty old tennis ball (until alice accidentally flung it into the neighbor's yard) and whining when we weren't playing with him.

visiting old sacramento was fun... walked around, watched byron eat too much salt water taffy, walked to "downtown sacramento" which ended up being a mall (upon which, the guys immediately turned around and started walking back to old town, to amy's dismay), and visited the state capitol (no terminator sighting, unfortunately). see andrea's pics here. my pics are of course still TBU.

and if any of you want to be guaranteed a tear-jerker every week, watch extreme makeover. NO not the nasty plastic surgery version, but the home edition. Seriously, they pick the cutest, most deserving families ever to be on the show. it's amazing. this past sunday they basically revamped/remodeled an entire community, from sweet alice's (yes, that's what everyone calls her!) house, to the school where she teaches, to the community basketball court, to even donating mattresses and bedding to all her neighbors! definitely more fun to watch than trading spaces - it's on ABC right before Alias... so you get two great shows in one night! what a deal.
