Jonathan, Tristan and Grandpa Dave, 2005

TECHNOLOGY 2 DAVE 0 - I managed to set the camera for a 2-second (instead of 10-second) delay twice before I finally got a picture of the twelve of us (most of my extended family) at dinner for my 59th birthday on September 24, 2004.

SUCCESS! Counterclockwise from Mark Van Name at the head of the table: Sarah VN; April Drake; Tristan D; Jonathan D; Jennie Faries; me; my wife Jo D; Allyn Vogel; Scott VN; and Rana VN. You'll notice that my repeated screwups with the camera worked as a great comedy turn, so people were smiling more naturally than is sometimes the case.

With an acquaintance from 1970: a 15,000 pound daisycutter bomb.

Taking picture of Northrup F-89 Scorpion, high-tech air defense from his childhood.

The bomb casing beside me is not, as I thought I read on the card, that of one similar to the plutonium bomb Bockscar dropped on Nagasaki.
