Pictures from the Franti show

Michael Franti and Spearhead do a kids matinee show every year. This was the first time we went - and Leo's first rock concert. He had a blast with Marlee, Raya, and Kyla. He danced and jumped like a fiend for a while, and then got tired and settled down to do some artwork with Kyla.

Leo as a mutant

Root and Rebecca brought us this awesome book that teaches kids how to do fun, smart-aleky tricks. Here's Leo showing his mutant imitation

And then, just for kicks, can anyone read the title of this book? Leo is learning phonetic spelling at school:

Old

Leo found a nickel. Paul said, "wow that nickel is from 1964. That's older than your Mommy! But not older than your Daddy". Leo replied, "Nothing's older than my Daddy."

Debbie's lecture at Stanford's Energy Seminar

Gave this lecture at Stanford last week on my big study. Was a really nice visit with the various energy institutes out there. And of course, weather was perfect and campus was beautiful.
