Science Is Super
After attending Megan’s wedding in Florida, I flew to San Francisco to spend the rest of Thanksgiving week with my parents and my brother’s family. We stopped at my uncle’s for a few days, during which my mom and I visited the California Academy of Sciences. The Academy (the name is a little misleading, since [...]
My Favorite Holiday
We spent Thanksgiving in Napa with my sister-in-law’s family. For Molly and Liza, my nieces, this meant Thanksgiving with four grandparents, one auntie, and Mommy and Daddy. I hope they’ll remember the day as just as wonderful as I thought it was. If nothing else, they’ll at least remember the key lime pie! Here’s what [...]
Down by the Bay: Fourth of July Parade
I wish I had this girl’s socks.
Down by the Bay: Baseball + Fireworks
I’m procrastinating writing a paper for Qualitative, and figured now was as good a time as any to post the penultimate entry from my San Francisco trip.

Down by the Bay: Family Time
Daddy and little Molly. Shot this at 1/6 of a second, and Molly the squirmy moved her head just enough thather bow has motion blur. Sigh. I love all of the open spaces and giant windows in Angus and Lori’s house. Miss Molly! I didn’t have time to frame this the way I wanted to [...]
