Maybe... Someday... Saved by Zero...



Last week Michele and her old friends Siobhan, Doretta and Beth recaptured their high school years at the English Beat, The Fixx, and Alarm concert at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga. 25 years ago this incredible line-up would have drawn thousands of screaming teenage girls and would have been the highlight of any hip kid's high school career. This show did bring out the masses... but this time the Bartles and James wine coolers were replaced by more civilized beverages.

The girls smile as they enjoy a drink during a break in the show


This incredible album produced the time honored hits: "One Thing Leads to Another," "Red Skies" and "Saved by Zero."


Michele and her childhood friend Doretta enjoy a light snack at the show


Doretta and Beth smile while reminiscing about the days they used to sneak out of their houses on school nights back in 1981 to head to "Mothers." Just wait until your kids hit high school girls!


It's easy to see why these guys where adored by legions of teenage girls in the early 80's

Monica cuddles up with Brookers a couple of summers ago.


Bella laughs it up with her Auntie Pika.


The work of a sister is never done....


Mo chases Brooke in the shore down at Pajaro Dunes.


Lauren, just a year old back when this picture was taken, almost smiles in Mo's arms!


Mo is so cool there is even a golf club named after her!


On top of it all... Mo is the best golfer in the family!


And of course... she is a fantastic mommy! Here she shows off a picture of little Ryan.
