California Dreaming

Top guy
Arthur Whitney
on Windy Hill
California Dreaming

A productive and hugely enjoyable week as a house guest of Arthur Whitney and Rita Comes in Palo Alto, working on drafts of D Book and mastering the DocBook stylesheets.

Water polo, Palo Alto High School
Water polo match,
Palo Alto High School
Had to raid Café de Doge on University Ave for decaf after chugging too much of their espresso from Rita’s machine, the heart of the kitchen. This is my ‘busman’s holiday’: coffee with Arthur at 7am before we head for our keyboards; lunch, errands, conversation, watching his gorgeous children Euian and Natasha play water polo for Palo Alto High; going fencing with Rita (US #1 sabre) over at Stanford; hiking in the hills in the hot California autumn sunshine; raiding the local bookstores for American poets.
