Fun with animated GIFs. More fun than Friday and first half of Saturday. Hey Cam.. Oh, never mind. :)

To Margaret's wake on Friday and coming back from her funeral Saturday. Kind of a weird yin-yang thing going on. Except the whole concept of having to make such a trip sucks.

There's rowing at the Met! I'd have more, but then the security guy told me that I wasn't allowed to use the flash. Also, they ran out of the rowing poster. (The exhibit was British Prints between the two world wars).

Some fall foliage by Weeks. Off to NYC/PA for the rest of the week. Cheerio.

I personally think I deserved to give me a present.

Oh yeah, PBC was thing weekend, Sean and Heather won, yaaaaaawwwwnnnn...

Nice catch, Aleks. Really, really, really nice catch.

To welcome me back, some dude ran a truck into the Charles. This lucky EP officer was charged with searching for it.

A life well lived. Some photos taken by Stanley Hu, now borrowed with explicit permission. Thanks, Stan!

Rest in peace, Margs. Thank you for everything. I only hope that I gave you as much joy and love that you've given me. We didn't get nearly as much time together as we wanted to, but I grateful for every second of it. You will always be in my heart, and in my mind. Your kindness, generosity and bravery will always inspire me. I miss you very, very much, and I will always love you.

Finally put my copious amounts of down time to good use. Should be easier to navigate than the previous purely chronological format.

 
I am not exactly sure how this works with that whole gravity thing, but apparently squirrels know something we don't

 
Look, I said--"NO Pictures!"

 
The really sad thing is that I decided I need to used the flash to take a better picture... And scared the poor little thing so much that it dropped the french fry. :(

 

Sometimes you are the heron, sometimes you are the catfish. But you are on camera ALL the time.

 

No live flowers are allowed in the icu room. So Liza came up with a clever workaround. As I said at her and Jeff's wedding--"She's a doctor, she's much smarter than I am."

 

October sky, as seen from the hospital window..

Despite what the shirt says, this picture was actually taken almost exactly a year ago, on the third Sunday in October. Seems like it's been a lot longer than that.

Laughing through tears is better than not laughing at all. Hope everyone has a good race!
