remember when bryan dislocated his ankle?

The "Art and Soul" Festival in Oakland in early September. This picture was one of the few that survived my memory card deciding to snack on all the photos I took.

Again, this was much more remarkable as part of a set of 15 shots...

One last shot in Oak-town. This one's worth it at least for the all red ensemble on the left.

Hot and sour soup: where half the ingredients are inedible, but the flavor is oh-so-delicious. It's all in the kaffir lime leaves...

Bryan in a Pumpkin Patch! We drove out to Half Moon Bay to get a head-start on their annual Pumpkin Fest (and dodge the quarter million people who show up).

Bryan takes his inspecting duties seriously.

I can't begin to tell you how excited I was about all this.

But maybe you can get a sense of my glee from the volume of pumpkin-pictures.
