Kate's home, plotting her next trip
Our globetrotter's home again, in class at UCLA, trying to wrap up her undergrad degree work. Her fall quarter in Tanzania cemented her commitment to a career as an international citizen. Working with the group, One Heart Source, Kate and her fellow team members finished building and opened an orphanage in Metevez Village for children with AIDS and also spent much of the time reaching out to "street kids in Arusha, Tanzania. Wartch her Web site - KatesHeart.com -one of these days she almost certainly will get it updated.
(She's too shy to say so very loudly, but as a starving college student, she's still hoping to raise money to pay for the trip. Donations welcome. Even though she's back, she's STILL in need of cash.)

Fishing's a lot more fun when you catch fish!
Roostercomb Ranch never fails to deliver what I find to be the most relaxing, psychologically invigorating experience of my year. Max and I joined our cousin, Richard, and 20-some friends from the Santa Cruz Flyfishermen over Memorial Day weekend 2006. Our 4th year on this unique outing proved every bit the equal of the previous 3 - and all four have been without equal. Here Max and I compare catches - haulted in from the dam face at Mustang, one of seven ponds on the beautiful ranch. Max had just caught what was to be his biggest fish of the weekend as rain began to fall and was preparing to have his photo made with it when I felt a tug on my line, not 100 yards away. (We'll let you be the judge as to which turned out to be bigger.) (Richard was doing fine, too, but since he was serving as photographer most of the time, unfortuantely you won't see him or his fish here.)

fun in Michigan City
Way Too Spooky!
Obviously David and Bob and Mike and their mutinous minions have too much time, money and un-chaperoned impulses to keep at home. (They did, however, win Most Creative in the camp competition, David wants you to know.) Click here.
Pandora Internet Radio What I'm listening to lately:
Please pardon the dust - we'll be under construction
most of the time.
(Feel free to come back and visit often -
and see what we've been up to while you were gone.)
We're all do-it-yourselfers - some better equipped than others - some artists, some pros, some wannabes and some just along for
the ride.
So be kind in your appraisal of us.
