Bob and Daisy

A rare moment of relaxation for Bob and his wife Daisy. Bob is an office worker who has a hard time letting go of work, which can sometimes make Daisy a little nuts. Bob is very efficient, and industrious (and uptight) who is serious about his job almost to the point of silliness. His only break at work is to go outside and practice his yo-yo, which he is equally obsessive about. Daisy is very supportive and loving, but will pull Bob up short quickly if she feels he is gettting too into his work. She is a successful veterinarian who loves reptiles the most out of all her patients. A yin and yang couple if ever there was one, Daisy and Bob have been happily married for 10 years now.

Mr. Max

Max is a worrier who stresses over almost everything in his life. He has a hard time letting go and relaxing enough to enjoy himself when he's not at work. When he does let himself relax and have fun with his friends he ends up having a great time, and his friends like to tease him about his uptight ways. Max wants to be more laid back and less stressed, but hasn't figured out how yet. One of his dreams is to become a stand-up comedian, but he hasn't gotten any further than performing in front of the mirror.

Heeere's Georgie!

George is the ultimate jokester, with barely a serious bone in his body. To George, there is no greater achievement than making someone laugh. He is best friends with Jonah and Seymour, and these guys are a huge hit with the ladies when they go out on the town. Seymour gets the ladies' attention, Jonah charms them with his smile, and George keeps them all laughing.

Officer Chuck Peterson reporting for duty!

Officer Chuck is a veteran of the force, only a few months away from retirement. He is known as a dedicated, hardworking officer who doesn't take any crap from his collegues, the rookies, or the miscreants he arrests. An avid fisherman and gardener, as well as video game enthusiast, Chuck looks forward to spending his retirement at his cabin on the lake with his wife of 30 years, Adele.

More photos of the trio's trip to Calgary

Pictures taken at the top of Scotchman's Hill in Calgary, overlooking the Saddledome and the Stampede grounds. This hill is prime real estate to watch the fireworks on Canada day (July 1st) and during the Stampede. The gang is also taking a break from the heat under a tree along the Bow River, one of 2 rivers that wind through the city. Other photos taken at Olympic Plaza with the Suffragette statue.

Sam, Pete, and Chloe take a trip to Calgary, Canada

Mitch kept inviting Sam and Pete to visit him up in Calgary, so they finally decided to take him up on his offer. Chloe tagged along so she could see the Saddledome, home rink of her favorite hockey team, the Flames. A great time was had by everyone on the vacation, but Sam and Chloe wished that it hadn't been so scorching hot the whole time they were there! When they arrived, the Stampede was already over, but Mitch took them around to see the grounds and the Saddledome anyway. Mitch also took them out into the mountains at Elbow Falls for a hike and a BBQ, but Pete forgot the camera, so no pics. Chloe did some shopping, and they all toured around downtown Calgary, stopping to hear a free concert at Olympic Plaza, and have their picture taken by the Canadian Suffragette statues. It was an excellent visit, and the three hope to go back in the winter to take in a Flames game and see some snow. Thanks for a great visit Mitch!

Meet the Mistrys

The Mistrys, after 6 years of living in California, are heading back to New Zealand. Good friends to Sam and Pete, Mr. Mistry and Sam play soccer together every sunday in their yellow jerseys, and occasionally commute to work together; usually arguing about politics and sport. All the Mistry's friends here in California will miss them, but wish them a safe journey home to beautiful New Zealand, and hope they'll be able to come back often. Bon Voyage Kamal, Priya, and kids!

Chloe

Chloe is a definite "girly-girl", who is a total romantic. She loves walks on the beach and strawberry milkshakes. Her favorite flower is the rose, and her favorite movie is Gone With the Wind. A bit of a drama queen at times, Chloe identifies with Scarlett O' Hara. Her not-so-secret passion is... ice hockey. In particular the Calgary Flames, who have been her favorite team since the early 80's.
