Dalliene found a black widow spider near the water hose yesterday while I was in San Francisco. She trapped it with a McDonald’s drink cup over it, a heavy package of grass trimmer cord over it and a large upside down planter encasing it all. She then nervously awaited my return from San Francisco to take care of it. Andrew had a restless night’s sleep thinking of the black widow spider alive in the yard.

Went to San Francisco for a TechAssure Conference and took an obligatory picture of a San Fran Trolley with my iPhone.

I had a full day of sitting in a Techassure conference room and took a walk around downtown San Francisco. The Transamerica building is an icon of San Francisco and I really like the abstract nature of this shot. – taken with my iphone

Had a quick business trip to San Francisco and had a great opportunity to spend a Sunday evening with Erin and Darya and their family. Weather was just perfect – sunny and warm. Also had a couple of minutes to take some informal headshots. They are certainly a great looking family.

Very pretty, but a little too grown up! When I look at a photo like this it kind of floors me to see such a grown up, beautiful girl. She is even more amazing on the inside and really seems to have it all going on in spades.

Jack turns three this week. He is no longer a baby and is as fun a little personality as he’s ever been. He loves to sing and dance and his current favorite song is a mashup of AC/DC’s Back in Black with Queen’s We Will Rock You.

A very excited soon-to-be Cub Scout.
