17 Feb 2008 Update

Eventful few weeks! Most importantly, congrats to good friends Michael & Stephanie and also to Doug & Tiffany … both couples had babies since last I’ve written. (Above is my little nephew Branson, who I just happened to be taking pictures of today.)

I also re-met one of my step-dad Ralph’s former 4th grade students … an interesting meeting, to say the least. At the same time, I commemorate the loss of my father 4 years ago today, as well as my grandmother’s birthday (who is also recently gone). The cycle continues on…

(Note that in the photo above, although it looks like I photoshopped his eyes brighter, that’s how they looked … it’s not edited other than making it a touch brighter.)

At least between all the “pondering of life” I had some fun … a great dinner with friends on Friday, wine tasting in Temecula, the community Art Walk (which has to be one of the most fun things!), brunch with mom, and today a photoshoot with the beautiful Natela:

And for some reason, I have a feeling that this will quite the memorable week… more on that later.
