It's funny... about a year ago I went up to Philly for Joseph's sister Kristen's wedding and we got a pretty great picture of Joseph, Matt & I, and this is one from Saturday night after Matt's wedding. I was down in Florida this past weekend for my brother's wedding, and I think it is truly fair to say that a good time was had by all. Joseph was in the US from Japan and it was amazing and awesome to see him.

It was also amazing to see his Neice Kassidy who is beautiful and wonderful. As if such things were not enough there was an amazing and joyful gathering of friends and family, beautiful weather, a perfect setting, and just all around a happy and great handful of days. I only wish we could all have stayed for another week and kept enjoying the surroundings, the great company, etc.

Beyond the social events there were also dolphins flopping around out in the waters off St. Augestine, there were happy doggies walking around in the streets. There were tasty pastaries to start our days, and wonderful dinners to help us wind down in the evening. I could go on and on, but for now I'll leave it at that. More photos to come!

I'd buy an $8 ticket for this one

I'm actually more-or-less echoing my friend Nate when I call your attention to the fact that Mike Judge's (Office Space, Bevis & Butthead, etc.) new movie is being bulldozed through theaters with no fanfare by Fox. The movie has gotten some great reviews, and sounds like it will appeal to basically everyone who has gobbled up copies of Office Space to such an extent you can now buy it in varying forms at any given Target store nationwide (the super Flare edition, "get a room you two" edition, "Nagheenanajar, it's not that hard to say" edition, "why should I change my name he's the one who sucks" edition... okay so I may have made these up but you get my point). Anyway, Nate covered this ground pretty well so feel free to visit his comments here, or the LA Times' review here.

Mile-high Railway

Saw a very cool article about the train to Tibet in today's SF Gate. Interesting read. I'm actually still working on finishing it myself, but felt like sharing right away! Here it is.

Back from Flordia!

Lyndsey and Kristi

This is one of a handful of evening flash-less pictures I took while Lyndsey and I were down in Florida for Matt & Kristi's wedding. I used my happy new Gorillapod (groomsman gift from Matt!)... a tripod that's posable and flexible so that you can use it sitting on a flat surface or wrap it around something... it's very cool. Anyway, I thought posting a picture of these two lovely and happy ladies was a good way to mark getting back up North in one piece!
