The weekend so far

Yesterday I helped out with the leukemia and lymphoma society team in training, who I raised money for at the end of '07 by participating in a bike ride century. This team in training group are doing a 100 mile bike ride in solvang in March, they have to do their riding over the winter which is a lot tougher that when I did it. I provided "roving" sag, basically driving along with the group and helping when needed.

I got a good blackberry snap of jack this morning during our morning walk into downtown San Rafael.

In other news my arse still hurts from snowboarding on ice last weekend. Snowboarding really would'nt be right if I didn't hurt myself in some way!

Big day!

Good hubby!

9 year anniversary! Seems longer. :)

Goodbye Lake Tahoe!

Packed up and heading home

trekkie spotted in coffee shop

Heather just snapped a picture of a trekkie at our local coffee place ...

Wrong time to nap?

New years' resolution?

OK, I don't do new years resolutions, but if I did it would probably be to post more on this site.

 

Heather and I can now post directly from email, which is handy because we often send each other pictures from our mobile phones of the boy in various states of Jackness. I'll aim to do quick and easy posts as and when, then do writeups and videos from the new camera ma ruder got Heather for Christmas.
