San Carlos New Eatery Bair Island Tap & Eatery
September 29, 2011
Hi everyone, I have been busy taking care of some Mom issues…. I am of that sandwich generation. I am glad to be back. And, while coming back… this new restaurant opened on Laurel Street in San Carlos….Seems like remodeling a restaurant is every bit as frustrating as having work done at home. Things happen.
Bair Island (formerly Laurel Kabob) – set to open two weeks ago – hit some snags when key deliveries didn’t make it on time, etc.
So today, “is the day!!!!” says owner Charles Evans.
The menu won’t be totally complete for its debut. Evans says they’ll have: four different kinds of sausages, pulled pork, several fresh salads, cole slaw, condiments (relishes and mustards), eight beers on tap and wine to come soon.
For a background story on Bair Island, click here. Located at 635 Laurel Street in San Carlos.. Sounds like another winner! Go San Carlos…..
Legendary Menlo-Atherton football coach Ben Parks dies.
September 25, 2011
Legendary Menlo-Atherton football coach Ben Parks dies – San Jose Mercury News. So sorry to hear the news of this great man. Imagine the hardship he endured as a child. He became such a great man because of his beliefs and honor. If you ask anyone in the high schools that have met him, he was a man of honor. He helped children with their sport, like no one else could. I was privileged to meet his son, another great man. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I learned a lot from his son, who is also a player, but a life is an example and this family sure had a great one. Ben Parks Rest In Peace!

Honoring September 11 and Our Heros!
September 10, 2011
| Dear Americans,So this Sunday, the 10th anniversary of the September 11th tragedy, we will take a moment
to remember those who lost their lives and the bravery and self-sacrifice so many showed that day and beyond. We continue to mourn the innocent lives lost and remain in awe of the heroic efforts of those both on the ground and in the air who gave their all in hopes of saving others. |

| While our country was shaken in the wake of the attacks, Americans collectively chose not to fall victim to the actions of others. Rather, we rallied together with purpose to rebuild, help those affected, and
strengthened our commitment to the values which are uniquely American. We knew this, above all, was the ultimate weapon to defeat the terrorists. It remains so today. Regardless of whether you were personally connected with someone who perished in this tragedy, we were all impacted by this unforgettable event. So this Sunday, as we honor the 10-year anniversary of the events of September 11, 2001, we will take a moment to remember those who lost their lives and the bravery and self-sacrifice so many showed that day and beyond. This great country has faced seemingly insurmountable challenges through its history, yet the perseverance and confidence of the American people have always led to brighter days. It is our nature as Americans, and why our country has, and will always, be an example for so many around the world.
