Now, this picture's a little blurry, but I found it very important to capture the beauty of this tomato. Perhaps the best I've ever eaten. - bryan and jenn golden gate park

First, some pictures from home. One of our home improvement projects has been changing Bryan's giant black speakers from eyesores into landscapes. Here, Bryan touches up the base coat of hills and sky. - bryan watches kite while world tilts

The first weekend in October, and we finally made it to a beach. This was in the perpetually cloudy but lovely Half Moon Bay. We spent a few hours on the beach and then had some outstanding seafood at a local joint dripping with character. - jeff hannah frisbee

We've ventured into San Francisco a few weekends now. Though we have yet to snap any pictures of streets or buildings, Golden Gate Park offered a few photo ops. This is Leslie and Jenn, a fellow TFAer. - leslie and hannah closer

On 10/11, Leslie headed to the Santa Cruz mountains for the TFA October retreat. A day of workshops, bonding with old acquaintances, a free massage, and mutual bitching about how freakin hard this is. The setting: a Bahai retreat in a redwood forest. - sunset 1
