A few folks have asked about this. Unfortunately, I can not get to a position to take better shots. (I REALLY need that press credential.) You can get the whole story – and better pictures – on sfgate.

I am amazed at the amount of damage one carefully placed tanker full of gasoline can cause to an overbuilt earthquake-resistant concrete and steel structure. The already nasty commute will now be even worse for Bay Area commuters for months to come.

It’s inexplicable to me, but Kelly is happiest when she’s in a place covered with horse poop.

Big Hat Day in Clovis, Easter eggs, Easter sushi – huh? Yes, this weekend’s trip to Fresno was better than most.

Last night was our 6th wedding anniversary. To celebrate, I made my soon-to-be-famous skirt steak for dinner with our best friends – Chris and Ben. We opened a 1994 Coppola zinfandel with dinner, which turned out to be outstanding. (Thanks, Dave and Sonja!) But the real treat was the sensational dessert wine Chris was kind enough to share with us. YUM! This was the best dessert wine I have ever tasted – and I’ve had more than a few. Cheers, Chris and Ben!

Last weekend we upgraded Kelly’s computer from a Mac Mini to a fabulous 24″ iMac. I knew there’d be a difference, but this new machine is absolutely fabulous. It’s easily my favorite computer of all time. Sleek, sexy, quiet and FAST. I like the machine so much that I decided to set up the Mac G5 that’s been gathering dust under my desk at work for months. Now, I use a Mac more than a pee see, and I am very happy about it.

Oh – and Kelly loves it too!
