Milner Family Values

Took a little road trip down to SoCal for the fourth of July week. The Milner family is pretty far flung across the state so these reunions don't happen nearly often enough. Met up with my baby sis, Shawn and her boys here in S.F., then picked up our cousin Pat in Fresno before heading down to Ojai for a visit with the Ol' Man, Tom.
Here's the the crew out in the 100 degree sun, blinding the camera with my fish-belly.


Here's Mr. Science at the Griffith Park Observatory with Sis, Billy and Brandon.


Young Brandon and old Albert conferring on the great infinite.


Then, on down to Long Beach where, BTW, I was born, for a visit with Uncle Jim . They say skill at billiards is evidence of a misspent youth, and I'm here to tell 'ya: you got that right! Here I'm shooting a couple games of 8-ball with my nephew Brandon in the very pool hall in Belmont Shores where I learned to hustle pool when I was exactly his age. I feel confident, though, that he'll turn out a lot better than I did.
