Non- Ski Season 2018
SF Walk and Artificial Intelligence Talk
Well we got off to a good start for our Non- ski season activities.
Our third outing of the this season was a resounding success. A wonderful walk around the Presidio in San Francisco was led by John Maerzke. We walked about four miles and really enjoyed the wonderful paths,forest,views of the Bay, and Coastal bluffs, and Andy Goldsworthy's Natural Art. Of course we started our outing with food at the Presidio Cafe.
After the walk we went to Penny and Eds Home for Happy Hour and very substantial appetizers organized by Joy Crist
When we were replete Ed Feighenbaum treated us to a fascinating lecture on "What is artificial intelligence. " He then gave generously of his time answering our numerous questions with humor and patience. I believe we came away with a greater insight and admiration for some one who can make this subject so interesting.
Thank you John Maerzke, Penny Nii,Ed Feighenbaum, Joy Reed for a great day, and of course Tami Belew and Norma Dillon and Don Magdens, for doing the overall organization. We also thank all those who helped set up our evening drinks and sumptuous repast
See you on our next outing of a St Quentin prison tour and Lunch on June 14th

Outing to The Benicia Ghost Walk and house tour
Well we got of to a good start for our Non- ski season activities.
A number of us met at the Lindsay Art Glass Studio in Benicia and watched a demonstration in Glass blowing. The blower had one piece that broke but that is par for the course when such a delicate piece is being produced.We then were taken through the Old State Capitol mansion. This had served as the state capital for 13 months in 1853-1854. It was very interesting indeed. We all then sat down for a good dinner with the usual conviviality and enjoyment. Later in the evening most of us joined "The fun Ghost Walk in Benicia" . It was led by Paranormal investigators telling us spooky tales of the paranormal history of Benicia. It was interactive and fun.
For our next two activities See upper Right column of this screen . Make sure you sign up in plenty of time
The closing date for our tour of San Quentin state jail now passed.
We do however look forward to many attending the San Francisco Walk and Artificial intelligence talk. Of course there will be food

February Ski trip
We were off out again to ski the Tahoe area. We started in North star on Sunday and then joined the mid week group at Heavenly for Wednesday morning skiing All in all 20 plus people enjoyed the week . More snow had fallen or was made and there were more runs opener our enjoyment . Every one could find good skiing. Friday began to get crowded as the Presidents holiday week end was upon us, but it was still fun. Other than Skiing we had a party and Tami and Bill's place on Tuesday followed on Wednesday by a Valentines dinner at the lake side Inn.- Yum. Thursday evening was hosted by Penny in her suite with Pizza with Sides and drinks . I would say this was a pretty good week for all . Thanks to Tami Bill and Penny for hosting the evening fun.

Annual Meeting and Dinner 2017
We had our meeting at dinner at our usual restaurant, but at its new location. It turned out that the restaurant was not officially opened, so we were the first party they had. As usual, they did a marvelous job. The room was a bit smaller, but it was still great. In fact, because it was a little more crowded, people seemed to be able to mix more easily and we had a very good time
