Spent our first anniversary hiking around Big Basin State Park north of Santa Cruz, and then ate a great meal at Shadowbrook Restaurant.

A gallery of images documenting the making of a baby blanket for our pals Rae and Dave, as well as the official unveiling at the baby shower.

Looking for a little change on the drive from Stockton to L.A., I escaped from I-5 and followed CA 33 southward to its end at U.S. 101 in Ventura.

A pleasant day (2/29/04) with Stephanie, Robert, Claire, and Teresa at Disney's newest Southland theme park.

A quick weekend getaway in March to Cambria, CA. Note the beautiful weather on the same weekend Los Angeles got 4 inches of rain!

Some pictures from our annual weekend in Cambria, CA. Once again, we were blessed with perfect weather (even by Central Coast standards).

A fun day of dim sum and baseball to commemorate Cecilia's achieving the 1/3-century mark.

A few shots from Christmas 2001 at Mary & Joel's house, as well as a few posterity shots of Taylor for when she's old enough to be embarrassed by them.

Really had to find some sun, so I drove a road trip described in the AAA guide. 656 miles in a little over 12 hours.

On the Sunday of the 2006 SAM conference I ditched the final morning sessions (after my own 8:30-10 session) and went exploring in Chicago. One of the most architecturally significant cities in the U.S., Chicago makes it difficult to put down the camera. Thank god for large-capacity memory cards...
