| The Calm After the Storm |
| Rain and wind, dashing through puddles and water to get to the car, which felt more like a boat... But when I walked outside tonight, it was calm...the rain had subsided, and all was still...the sky was all different shades of gray and orange...and I knew that all was well with the world...at that moment |

| Hi Megan! Talking on her cool, red cell phone, looking happy as if nothing ever happened...Last night she sang part of a song they're doing in Chorus, "Blue Skies, shinin' on me, nothing but blue skies..." ife does come full circle, in every which way. |
| ...outside in the early evening, the calm after the storm... |
| Floyd Salas after our creative writing class with one of his drawings -- "This moment is unique -- it has never happened before and will never happen again!" he says. |
 |
| ...even when it's raining, there's always a rainbow... |
| I took the above rainbow pictures while sitting in my car waiting for the light to change -- with my cell phone camera! |
| Megan has mastered the art of taking pictures of herself (and me) with the cell phone camera! |
| My sister Jennifer had a birthday on April 10th (she might not like it if I tell you how old she is, so I'd better not -- she is younger than me, though!) In honor of her b-day, I found some old pictures of us when we were young... Above, Jennifer and I are ON TOP OF THE WORLD!!! Literally -- we're sitting at the very top of Mt. Tamalpias (north of San Francisco in Marin County) in around 1974 I think... |
| Sitting on top of the world...!!! |
| My sister Jennifer and me, around 1973 at home in San Francisco (16 and 13 I think...) |
| ...rain clouds over the bay.... |
| calm in the early evening (before the next storm) |
| April showers bring May flowers...only these are April flowers...the calm after the storm |
| More early evening calm...as the sun goes down.... |

| Happy Easter! Megan wears Aaron's bunny ears at the coffee shop on Saturday. |
| Megan and Aaron, who reclaimed his rabbit ears... |
| One glorious blue sky, spring day outside the workplace, the day after the "calm" evening...before more rain clouds drifted in late in the evening....(not bad for cell phone pictures) |
| Me at my desk at work hoping for more spring-like days, even though the rain does have its own charm |
| some Canada geese action on the one sunny day...(taken with cell phone camera |
| <sing> Two of us wearing raincoats standing solo in the sun... A good time to hang with the Beatles! |
