Ljubljana (day two)

I’m increasingly unhappy with my camera. I want my Elph back. Just wanted to get that out now. Today we had no meetings at all, and instead spent the day…

Ljubljana (first day)

Most of today was meetings – 9am to 6pm, actually. When we finally escaped, we made a beeline for the lake and walked until the mosquitoes became a problem. No…

Christmas 2008

All of these are enlarge-able in a new window, by the way. To begin, here’s David. Note the fog behind him. It was ridiculous that day as the strange warmth…

Sheep Shearing Festival

Saturday I attended a sheep shearing festival at Gore Place over in Waltham. The weather was just incredible, and I really should have worn sunscreen. It wouldn’t be a proper…

IL/IA ’04

Sidney Rodeo et al.

I had a free ticket I needed to use up by October 1, so I figured I’d sneak home to attend a rodeo with David. I was still on eastern…

Chincoteague

Tracie and I attended a conference at Salisbury University. We decided to use this as a mini vacation and headed down two days early to Chincoteague. We visited the NASA…
