So, this was interesting. The sixth photo in the sixth folder is actually a photograph of my husband John and his first wife Paula. Click for the full-sized photo.

John and Paula

This was probably somewhere in the time frame of 1979-81. I’ve always liked this photo. It’s a good one of both of them.

Rules of the game:

1) Go to your Picture Folder or wherever you store your photos in your PC.
2) Go to the 6th folder and pick the 6th picture.
3) Post this on your blog and the story that goes with that picture.
4) Tag 5 bloggers by leaving a comment on their blogs and telling them about the tag.

Three out of four ain’t bad – I encourage anyone to participate, but no pressure.

It took a little work to get the thing working right. Initially, the thumbnails refused to refresh and I had to mess around with some changes to the image generator.

All is well now, though, so you can enjoy a range of photos of my (extended) family, friends, trips, flora, fauna, skyscapes and whatever else happens to be there.

It was a very enjoyable evening. We went out to a seafood restaurant, and then for coffee – all the while engaging in a rollicking conversation about all sorts of things. I was probably a little hyper-energetic – I was on that edge of nervous exhaustion. It was a long flight, and my internal time-sense had me at a later hour.

After some yummy after-dinner chocolates, I dragged out my camera and got a couple of pictures (I’m really tedious that way).

Nice, huh?

I even got the chance to drag Vance off for about 45 minutes for a beer, and a quick chat about the book he’d recommended to me, and to exchange some insights about some of the questions we’d been discussing for a while now.

I’ve got to think some more about -really- what postmodern thought implies about truths and Truth (besides an sort of penultimate, if not ultimate, contingency).

In any case, the night was a lot of fun. I can’t think of a better way to have spent my first evening in California. Thanks!

Here’s Ben’s Fall 2007 second grade school photo:

And here’s his class (yes, he adores his teacher):

Bigger versions are available at my photo gallery.

Caption suggestions are welcome (grin).

I’ll write all about the actual event as soon as I can.
