The Fisherman on Thanksgiving Day

My Dad loves to fish more than anything else. Even when it is freezing or snowing -he will be out fishing. On Thanksgiving Day, Dad was out fishing with our family friend, Terry Nash on Klamath Lake in Oregon near Dad's house.

Asia Part 3

In Japan, I went out to dinner with the Japanese team at a beautiful restaurant that had a Japanese garden and stream in the middle of it. I also went to my favorite park in Tokyo - the Shinjuku-Gyoen park - http://www.japaneselifestyle.com.au/tokyo/shinjuku_gyoen.htm. They were having the annual chrysanthemum festival.

Asia Part 2

In Beijing, we also toured the centuries-old drum tower, after climbing a lot of very steep steps.

Asia Part 1

I just returned from a business trip to Asia, visiting our teams in Korea, Taiwan, Beijing and Japan. Lots of good food and fun (and some business :-) with the teams.

We spent a weekend in Beijing and toured Old Beijing (and also had Starbucks at the entrance to this area) - http://www.kinabaloo.com/houhai.html where we rode rickshaws and ate lunch in a restaurant that is famous for serving food that the emperors ate.

Buddy

His favorite place since the weather has turned cold - right on the couch by the fireplace.

Autumn Hiking

The trails at St. Edward State Park are especially beautiful right now, with all the leaves down on the trail. Mac and I go whenever the weather is cooperating.

Team Bowling

My manager took his entire team bowling last Friday for a morale event. I hadn't bowled in several years and had up and down scores all afternoon, but it was fun being with the team and not thinking about work. Here is a picture of my team!
