Deep Sea Fishing

My husband and friends took me out to celebrate my belated 30th birthday with a deep sea fishing trip. It had been postponed for 3 months for various reasons, so even the sore throat and start of a cold that I woke up with that morning couldn't keep me off the water. John, Phuong, and Hong picked us up bright an early at 6:30 AM so we could get on the first boat out. We figured we'd try to be pros like that. We left out of Marina Del Ray. The early morning light graced the sailboats and danced off the harbor water. The waves were rough but Geoff looked like a kid in a candy store, he was so happy to be on a boat. Geoff grew up on the water and looked right at home. He ended up catching three fish, one that we endearingly named Nemo. Phuong and John didn't take well to the waves, but were such great sports that we still went on to gorge on Brazilian BBQ afterwards. I didn't catch much, except for seasickness and one fish too small to keep. Hong turned out to be the most surprisingly resilient to the rough waters that day. She ended up taking two fish home. I think I've used up my allotment for water adventure in birthday celebrations but it was worth it! I had such a fun day, between the fishing and the three hour buffet. Thanks guys!

Very, very cool optical illusion I made.


  • Stare at the Dot in the center of the picture for 30 seconds
  • WITHOUT looking away, put your mouse over the picture
  • Looks like you are looking at a normal color photo, right?
  • Nope...Look Away without moving your mouse.





Believe it or not, there are only two pictures. The weird color one, and a b/w one. Pretty neat huh?

This is the tutorial I used. Let me know what you think.

Peru. I miss it.

I was looking in my Picassa albums, and saw a folder of pictures that Nickolaus and Melissa Brown (brother and sister) had sent me. They were our trailmates on the Inca Trail when we went to Peru last fall, and were awesome. Loved them both. They had a few cool shots that I hope they don't mind me sharing here.

 

 

 

 


I want to go back to Peru. I loved it there. No place I've visited has made me yearn to return like Peru has. Ever.

Nepal photos

In January 2000, I was fortunate enough to be able to travel to Nepal to complete field research for my masters thesis in point of use drinking water treatment. I fell in love with the country and traveled back at the end of the year to spend a month trekking, rafting, and traveling. Nepal is one of the most beautiful places I have seen. However, I think it skims the heavens for more reasons than just being the home of Everest. Here are some photos:

I've got more photos, so I'll add to the collection when I can dig them up.

Headed out to Kernville this weekend. Not many pictures, but I ran Brush creek a couple times, and ran the Chemise Gorge Section, The Thunder Run, Cables and the Powerhouse. Made some new friends and got to spend time with some old friends. Very good time.

In Loving Memory - Lt. Gen. Hal B Jennings, Jr. MD

My Grandpa Jennings passed away a few weeks ago. Kim and I travelled to
texas for his funeral, which was a celebration of his life, and honored
his long and decorated military career.
I've posted a tribute page to him, with photos.
