• sitting down at Opa! (new Greek restaurant in Downtown WG). kids instantly skeptical. stay tuned always PMH next door? #
• ordered Melitzanosalata (eggplant), chicken pita, Saganaki (flaming cheese), Avgolemono (lemon) Soup, and cheese slices from Pizza My Heart #
• Opa!: Chicken Pita includes fries loaded with Feta, but self-labeled “famous Opa dipping sauce” is an extra side. fries are best w/o sauce #
• Opa!: Avgolemono was good, like chicken noddle but lemony too. Eggplant salad was great. $5.99 two small scoops with pita. good for lunch #
• Opa!: Saganaki flaming cheese tasty but salty rich. one order feeds seven. Slices from PMH were welcome, even tried to bus wicker plates #

• Hating KTEH-54. lame PBS station was to show premiere of FETCH! v3 this morning at 6:30, but instead did last year’s finale. KTEH sucks! #
• Girls and friends are here for FETCH! Premiere … “D.J, Harsha, Jay, Sam, Noeal, and Sammy … Gooooo Fetch!” #
• Major kudos to KRCB PBS 22 …. Obviously much better run than KTEH 54 #
• Viewers at Studio MK beat the Studio G Fetchers in the halftime quiz show 45 points to 25. slow start for Noel and Sammy. #

Making good on their pledge to raise money for the newly reopened Willow Glen Library, Felicia and Jocelyn presented the $106 donation to Branch Manager Carol DaSilva today.

The funds were the result of our traditional Ice Cream Specials booth (both Part I and Part II).

• Party has moved to the Pe_ata Stage. … Ironically, little girls swinging away violently at Tinkerbell. #
• Twitter borked ‘pinata’ with tilde. looks right in my editor. weird. #
• @calipidder @dowbiggin last-minute pass on Quakes game. ;-( Tweets appreciated. #
• @calipidder the Quakes game notes said it’s this referee’s 6th MLS game. Rookie? #
• @calipidder Always disappointing when the league fails to gauge the importance of a match and assign referees accordingly #

Our neighborhood celebrated its community this weekend with its annual Founders Day Parade on Saturday. It’s a parade famous for more participants than viewers, which was certainly the case for our family.

Both Felicia and Jocelyn marched in separate units representing their schools, and there were even a few other units we could have been in if we had any cloned children. In particular Jocelyn’s school was decked out in the theme for their upcoming Walkathon (that’s Jocelyn in the picture between friends Giuliana and Sarah) … Hot Tip: relatives should be careful answering the phone this week.

Eagle-eyed readers will also note that Felicia is wearing her official parade costume, as provided by GrandBasset Daisy earlier in the week. After the dress arrived by surprise in the mail there was no way we were keeping it off of her for our parade. Her preschool friends (Megan and Kate in the picture, plus others) enjoyed hearing the story.

Lots more pictures are available on the Booksin Walkathon site and on the wildly famous WillowGlenExtra site. Those are my hobby projects, of course, so do visit them too.

Check out the comments for video, as we add it online …

• @calipidder Cops *are* technically exempt from hands free. but many jurisdictions have policies saying they shouldn’t talk while driving #
• Uh oh. This morning is featuring extra whine from 4yoF. Even ‘tired’ during dance class. Could be a long day #
• We love Miss Mary: "Oh I’m watching and *you* are dancing. Did you forget which way it works?" #
