| Striders at Western States - June 25, 2005 | |
 We had a wonderful time with Stevens Creek Striders at the Western States 100 mile Endurance Run in June. Striders always to do the aid station at mile 43 - "Last Chance" - named after an abandoned nineteenth century mining village. The team was organised by Jean, Marsha, Bob, Mike and Melanie. Dr Bob and crew provided medical support. Everybody had a great time. Special thanks to Peggy and Bill for the campfire sing song on Friday night. |

| Andrew and his stereo camera | Alan and Jen's Wedding |
Andrew loves his stereo camera (all three of them). These were very popular in the late 40s and 50s. Andrew's persuaded me that its a good idea to take one of his cameras to England to Alan's wedding. So he's given me some instruction in the use of this - how to set the ASA, shutter speed, focal length and aperture. Who knows, I might even take some good photos! |
The Rev Bruce Nicole will be officiating at Alan and Jen's wedding - and I'm very happy about that. He's a very nice man with a gentle sense of humour. I know the Wedding will be conducted with enourmous charm and appropriate dignity. |
| August will be amazing... | |

Our son Alan is getting married in England. Alan and his wife Jen will honeymoon in California. We intend to have a reception in San Jose for the newly weds and and our other son Jamie will also come to meet our friends. On our way back to the States, Ali and I have planned a stopover in Reykjavik, Iceland. And just to top off a perfect August, we're going to the Sierras to run the high country from Squaw to Robinson Flat on the Western States trail. | |
