For Halloween Glen dressed up as Nacho Libre. He won "most original" costume at work and also was recognized with a "life time" achievement in costume wearing by members of the Staff Asssociation at his work. You may now pick yourself up off the floor. :) Kelly and her boyfriend dressed as a bee and a flower.

At the end of August Glen made a trip to San Francisco, the city of his birth, for an archival convention. He gave a presentation on an e-mail preservation grant in which he participated.


Since he stayed in the Theater District, he could easily walk to China town.







Although he had to climb streets like this or maneuver around them.






In the off hours he attended a Giants game against Milwaukee at A T & T Park.






One of the interesting features of the park is this giant glove in the center field stands.





At the game Glen sat with his fellow archivists, including his colleague Mark and his family.

He also attended a reception at the San Francisco Public Library.

In August, Sandee, Kelly and their hair dresser friend, Will, spent a week in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. We started planning it in the spring. With gas prices soaring we decided that it might be that last best chance to see a little of life outside of our homeland. Our party took took two show trips around the bay.




This was Sandee's and my hotel room, complete with a Madonna and child painting.







The room had a comfortable patio that looked out on the pool area below.


The pool area, which was adjacent to the Bay, had a water fall and complete sun worshipers cabana facilities.










The restaurants in this "Love Boat" destination were impressive and relatively inexpensive.



We took a "Pirate" show trip on a replicate of Columbus' Santa Maria. The rain covers over the deck proved totally inadequate during the deluge that occurred half way through the trip around the bay. The Pirates and most of the passengers (including Kelly and Will) braved the weather.
