May 2009

In no particular order (the order the photos uploaded, actually...one of these days I'll get the hang of this thing) are highlights from May:
  • May started off with Eric's birthday weekend. He spent his weekend watching Wolverine on the big screen. I took him to see it (alone) on Saturday for his birthday, but he liked it so much, he conned me into going again on Sunday so that we could take Tory.
  • I travelled for work quite a bit starting in May. Mother's Day found me in the air headed to Washington DC to set up an office in Alexandria, VA.
These are photos taken while I was in Washington DC from the Smithsonian Museum

I want this Emerald!




Here is the building known as the 'Castle'

I really thought these trees were neat. I've never seen anything like them and was hoping I could get our friend Orion to tell me what they are. I wouldn't mind having one in our yard.

  • The weekend after my birthday (Memorial Weekend) we headed to Porterville to visit with June. We stayed in a Motel 6 that allows dogs, so that we could bring Doxie and Stellie with us. It was pretty nice for a Motel 6.

Lei'i, happy puppy

  • Tory had dive finals. Here's one photo from those. I did make quite a few videos, which have been uploaded to Youtube and are here:

After DC, I came home to another Renaissance event. Livermore Scottish Games & Celtic Celebration [http://www.livermoregames.com/].

Here's a photo of the Alexandria office I was working on






  • For my birthday Eric and Tory suprised me with an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins. It was the first birthday cake I've had since the mud pie my dad bought me for my 18th birthday. I was very surprised & very touched.
  • My office at work was moved at the end of the month, which just added to the general upheaval in my life in May.
