111 - it's the little things


With the craziness of conferences it is nice to take time to appreciate the little things:


The walk to the convention center through a lovely promenade of trees.


A few stolen moments by the pool. Can you spy the improvisation with regard to pool wear?

114 - got manateed!







Just more proof that my co-workers are zany and awesome. 

I got manateed! 

These two are my favorites but there were photos all over my cubicle when I returned to work from my Houston trip today.

96 - the aran islands - inis mor

We spent the day riding bikes around the island. Gorgeous.
















The hike up to Dun Aonghasa (Dun Aengus), a prehistoric fort on Inis Mor

The Irish Search and Rescue
was doing drills that day and followed
our ferry back from the island. Very cool.
