May so soon?

Hey all,

Hi again. Work has been busy. I hit my one year mark in San Francisco on April 9th. Donna will hit her one year mark next week. We have been doing as much as we can in between working weekends. We have recently attended the De Young Museum and purchased a year pass, we went to the Cherry Blossom Festival in Japan Town, we went to Ocean Beach for a picnic sushi lunch, we have been to many restaurants and we also downloaded an audio tour of the Barbary Coast and walked the first 3rd of it while we listened to it. Oh and I got to go play poker for the first time in about a year.

We will be attending the Indy 4 Premier and then a nice banquet here shortly. We are looking forward to that very much. We will also be attending the Maker Fair tomorrow. It will give us a chance to ride CalTrain for the first time. Oh and I also picked up a new camera. I am loving it. It's an Canon 5D. You may notice some of my pictures now have blurred backgrounds. Being able to control your aperture really helps you take better pictures. Speaking of pictures.....

That's it for now. Hope you like the pictures.
