Old Trees, Old Friends
Quick view of the courtyard area, from my hotel room window. Today, on our “free day,” Liz and I signed up to go on a tour of Muir Woods. Liz was keen on seeing the Redwoods and it sounded like a great thing to do. The only bummer was that, all day today, it was…
San Francisco: Fisherman’s Wharf
The next day, a bunch of the family were invited out by my uncle Charles for an early lunch. A ton of folks set out from the hotel down to Fisherman’s Wharf – we expected a brief walk, but ended up walking a good thirty minutes or more, before we got there. Along the way,…

A month later, the police recovered the Vino and it was pretty much still intact, albeit missing a few key components (ignition…
Control of the blog is wagered
Hanging out with Liz tonight, we decided to break out the Yahtzee! once more, for a few games. Our standard pattern seems to be that, whenever we play, we always wager something on the game – be it big or small. For our bet this game: if I won, I got to pick the next…
Celebration!
Today marks the official soft launch of our division’s website. This has been the project that Chris and I have been working at, for some time now. It’s not quite ready for public viewing yet, but we did an internal launch today. Chris and I were both headed out around noon (we were taking a…
