The San Francisco Chronicle has a pretty good piece on making wine by W. Blake Gray. I think it is really worth reading if you enjoy wine; it is a firsthand description of making wine. [Link courtesy of Vinography.]
One of the really great things about weddings is that I get to see a lot of friends who live around the country. I haven’t seen Les and Michelle since they got married last year. They are moving to Cincinnati from Oakland; I might be able to see them more.
I get to see Faisal all the time. The weird thing is that photos of him always have that funky background. Apparently, a couple of weeks before this photo was taken, his hair was blue. Faisal and Aleecia traded off weddings; I got to see her the previous weekend at Dan and Audryn’s wedding.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, Tom and Bethany got married a couple of weeks ago. It was a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception at a nearby event hall.
In Seattle, I stayed with Jen, Andrew, and Samuel. I met Andrew at CMU; Jen is his wife; and Samuel is my godson. Below are some photos of Samuel, Andrew, and myself.
Samuel likes to make funny faces. Of course, so do Andrew and I.
Hanging out on the porch.
Funny face
Sometimes, Samuel doesn’t want his picture taken.
Unfortunately, that’s actually the expression on Andrew’s face all the time.
Tell me the truth, ladies: there is nothing sexier than a guy who just woke up in dorky pajamas, right?
Seriously, who could resist a man who could make a face like that?
Tom and Bethany got married in the Topiary Garden in Columbus, Ohio.
The garden is very pretty, and the weather was a little hot, but beautiful. The main feature of the topiary garden is a rendition of Seurat’s “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. I spoke to one couple at the wedding who saw when the bushes were first planted around ten years ago. It will be quite interesting when the project is completed.
Check out the above link to compare the painting with the topiary.
