The District of Columbia

Wednesday, May 11th, 2005

In DC to meet with special people doing special things. Dinner tomorrow night with a classmate from the alma mater and his spouse. That will be fun.

Missed the whole security showdown here as was in Minneapolis at the time. Looks like it ended well. Now the pundits will have their say.

Me? I just drink beer.

More to come.

Interesting place to see a F/A-18….

I couldn’t make out the squadron markings though.

Neil Diamond - Today Show

Sunday, May 8th, 2005

Friday morning, we made it over to the Today Show studio in time to hear Neil Diamond sing “They’re coming to america” - and try to take some pictures.

I’m not a fan of Katie Couric of Matt Lauer, but you can just see them through the camera scaffolding here.

I saw Neil Diamond’s head once, but the pictures didn’t turn out.

As you can see, the construction guys across the street liked Neil too:

NYC Falun Gong Demonstration

Sunday, May 8th, 2005

Caught this near Times Square earlier this week - pretty graphic protest against the Chinese government’s treatment of the Falun Gong.

Off to NYC for five days, via Long Island.

Got my Red Sox shirts and caps packed, of course.

Hollywood

Sunday, April 10th, 2005

When I was in LA last week, we had some down time due to working nights - so we trekked off one morning to see the Chinese Theater and walk along the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

A few shots:
