My friend Ed took this photo. It’s a wonderful photo of Fall, which we will only see via photos in Houston.

{October 14, 2008} Angel Island Fire: Climbing (photo)
Another great photo from another great photographer. My old boss Susan took this in her new life in San Francisco. Isn’t it a great shot?
{October 14, 2008} October Dr. Sketchy, photo
Proof that my friends are much more interesting than I am. See Katie & Tiffany (middle & right) in the last Dr. Sketchy event. Which, of course, I missed.
{October 11, 2008} Flooded Allen Parkway, photo
This is a great shot of the flooding near my office, after Hurricane Ike. It’s a great use of color, and a wonderful visual representation of what happened to the city after the Hurricane.

This photo is from the Library of Congress’ Flickr stream. It’s a nice stream to follow, if you’re a history geek like me.
{October 07, 2008} pumpkin (photo)
Very cool pumpkin carved at St. Joseph County Public Library. I don’t know where that is, but it’s a cool pumpkin.
{October 04, 2008} the path to physical fitness
A friend of mine is talking me into signing up for bootcamp sessions. It means being at the bootcamp at 5 am at least three times a week. I’m having trouble wrapping my brain around that idea, mostly because I’m not a morning person. I am absolutely not a morning person.
I know that I need to start exercising. I’ve been promising myself to do it for a while, but keep putting it off. But it’s time to get with it.
Wish me luck.
{October 02, 2008} family tree
I’ve been having fun loading and tagging photos onto Geni.com. I created a family tree about a year ago and let it sit there for months without updating or adding. It wasn’t until earlier this year that I started inviting family members to join. And then the fun began. Aunts and cousins, all girls, started filling in birthdates and adding photos. Now I have email addresses and info on family members I hadn’t seen in forever.
The thing that makes this so much better is that all my siblings and I took a trip to Detroit recently for a wedding that served as a family reunion. I can put names and faces and voices and conversations and memories to the family tree.
Have you created a family tree yet? October is Family History Month, so it’s a great time to start one. Geni.com makes it easy.
