Last week I went to San Diego to see my friend Billy graduate from
SDSU. He he is in his graduation uniform.
Congratulations Billy! After the graduation I had to go to Berkeley for a conference to do a poster presentation on my research. I feel it went really well.
This picture was taken on the Day of the rapture. Unfortunately when Jesus showed up he took a look around and decided he didn't want any of us. Now we are all stuck here for the time being ;-).
This is the second
surfboard I made. The paint job took 50 hours to complete. I decided it was time for it to have a new home so I gave it to my friend Kathleen so she can try to learn how to surf on it.
The conference food was really great. This is the lunch desert in Berkeley

It is the
sculpture located at the entrance of Berkeley. I first saw it back in 2005 and I really liked it so I look a picture of it.

This was a successful trip!
The growing season is now in full swing. So far some of the crops are ready for harvest. These Chiles were ready to go so I went ahead and picked them. I think I am going to try and figure out how I can get a higher yield from chiles. I would like to produce alot of them for salsa and guacamole and burritos. 
These are a variety of hers I harvested. There are green onions, chives, oregano, and thyme. These herbs became spaghetti sauce.
