Lindsay,

I had a dream last night that your were standing inn the doorway of the office and I said "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be on the boat?" and you said "I forgot something." I don't know what it was you forgot.

a week late, but here are some pix from the southern wedding! highlights [most of which are not pixtured here] included: upgrading from a corolla to a miata; trees, everywhere trees; the most beautiful swamp ever; the chappel so full people stood outside the floor to ceiling windows; a verrandah buffet; the bluegrass band covering the rolling stones and wilco; scoring a slice of the carrot cake; sitting at the table as pam and matt signed wedding papers.

the south is just about as different from home as europe.

Almost as fun as Europe

Lindsay's footstool doubles as a pillow!


Girl Scout cookies, shrimp chips, squid crackers, chocolate covered macadamia nuts, pastries from Solvang and stale cookies in a big brown bag. yummy.

Stella's first trip to Disneyland

We have entered the Magical Kingdom with a spark in our eyes and a readiness for whatever surprises might await us. On Main Street happy travelers pose for photos with Mickey Mouse who is alive with the spirit of a new day. His ears shine like black diamonds set off by the blue sky behind him. As we jaunt down the cobbled rode we can only be in awe by the castle in front of us. The pristine pool of water below reflects its beauty. We make our way through Fantasyland to the Dumbo ride where the proud and gentle long-nosed creatures fly above our heads. We are in awe that we have the privilege to experience all that Walt made possible, and the look on Stella's face—her wide-eyed stare and joyous expression—brings tears to my eyes. This truly is the happiest place on earth.

this is it
