Happy Birthday, Dave!
Kelly and thedude were honored to be among the invitees to Dave’s birthday party last night. Sonja prepared a delicious meal and a really wonderful cake with Scharffen Berger chocolate. YUM! Thedude shot countless pictures of his new pal Nathan. Much consumption ensued. As the evening progressed, the images became more and more – shall…
Hey – They Stole My Image!
My good friends Jack and Tres learned through a friend that their image was being used prominently on a web site for a Santa Barbara spa. The trouble is, neither they nor I ever gave the webmaster permission to use the image from Tres and Jack’s wedding. The legal section of the site even proclaims…

More Fun from Jibjab
In case you’re wondering, I have not forgotten my blogging duties. It’s been a long time since I took some real down time, so Kelly and I decided to finish 2005 quietly. We did not attend any big parties or take any trips (‘cept for Fresno.) I also took a little time to do some…
