Wow, what time did you leave? You made it to Safari West and Calistoga already? You guys must have lead feet!

By buzzgirl on 03.04.07 10:51 pm

Details. I need details. Which winery? And how was Safari West? I’ve always wanted to check out that place.

Drive safe, and save some of your energy for Portland!

Potential for bad puns about giant thumb = unacceptably high. Hope subsequent commenters have high enough moral standards to spare us all. And that you have a great time.

looks like fun! Sophia is stunning, I don’t think I’ve seen a photo of her before…I want hair like hers!

Sophia is so cute! Looks like you’re having a great time so far.

Isn’t public art always weird?

By Rabbit on 03.05.07 5:08 am

Love that “weird public art” photo — does Sophia now fall into that category?

Hey, Sophia & Neil, “Thumbs up”! Hope you’re still both on a high from the act of birthday giving/arranging and receiving.

By Pearl on 03.05.07 5:09 am

Does Sophia always climb into the tub with her clothes on?

By Karl on 03.05.07 5:26 am

Nice wildlife! As for the thumb, glad to see the picture was not one of you sitting under it… [cringe]. Sorry folks, couldn’t resist!

By Ariel on 03.05.07 5:45 am

Hey, at least you got a big “Thumbs Up!”

It could’ve been a different finger…

By leesepea on 03.05.07 6:15 am

Looks like a fun trip, so far. Enjoy yourselves and don’t worry about us!

By Not Faint Hearted on 03.05.07 6:24 am

oooh zebras! looks like good times. hope you two are having a great time.

By ms. sizzle on 03.05.07 7:01 am

Looks like fun so far. Champagne? How romantic? wink, wink, nudge, nudge

By Finn on 03.05.07 7:12 am

You do know you are supposed to be naked in the tub, right?

By NSC on 03.05.07 7:15 am

safari west??? santa rosa is near my neighborhood; we are going to have to check that out this week!

By AscenderRisesAbove on 03.05.07 7:24 am

I am ridiculously jealous that you got that close to a giraffe! I really really want to touch one someday!

By Bre on 03.05.07 7:28 am

How fun. Does Sophia ever take a bad picture? No fair.

This post really makes me miss Northern California.

By Churlita on 03.05.07 8:13 am

sometimes, a thumb is only a thumb.

nice pics. sophia looks great. what about you and the thumb? where’s neil with the critters? come on!

By bookfraud on 03.05.07 8:32 am

so far so good?
you know, if you can’t even get her naked for the tub, Neil’s Penis is in for a long lonely trip.

By better safe than sorry on 03.05.07 10:05 am

Travel must agree with Sophia, SHE LOOKS STUNNING (& HAPPY). I hope you two have a lovely trip.

By plain jane on 03.05.07 10:11 am

I know that thumb…Half Moon Bay, right? winery of some long forgotten name?

By deezee on 03.05.07 12:01 pm

God, it looks you’re having a blast! I like the zebras best.

By Rhea on 03.05.07 12:13 pm

I hate to be the one chiming in to say that Sophia is totally a HOTTIE!! I don’t think I’ve seen pics of her before. You should have a section of “All Sophia, All the Time.” Not that I like girls or anything….(and not like that’s a bad thing, for those of you who like them)….and not that I don’t also think you’re fun, cute and interesting….but yeah, she’s got great hair, great smile, and seems like fun. We need a little more of Sophia. heheh. (You can officially hate me now. Hehe.)

By Leah on 03.05.07 4:50 pm

Talk about having your thumb on things. Wow!

By Oopsy Daisy on 03.05.07 8:13 pm

After reading the comments on the photo of Sophia, I must say once more that she was so wronged by the makeup artists on “Windfall.” They so made her frumpy on that show. So unlike the photos that you post of her. She should sue or something. Because isn’t that the American way?

By Dagny on 03.05.07 9:46 pm

Is that a giant toe? I don’t think Sophia should be putting her face against a giant toe. She might get a weird fungal thing on her cheek.

By Killer on 03.05.07 10:48 pm

I think Neil’s penis is taking the pictures. There’s an awful lot of phallic images here.

And the thumb? It makes me want to sculpt a VERY LARGE HAMMER right next to it.

By V-Grrrl on 03.06.07 3:33 am

[...] Befitting her unofficial title as Poet Laureate of Neal Nation, Pearl has composed a second poem for Neil on his Name Day, set to the tune of The Brady Bunch theme song, so you can sing along! Hopefully, Neil will at some point share Pearl’s other opus when he’s done hanging with the hippies in Mendocino or making his estranged wife, Sophia, take baths without water. [...]
