05.13.07 Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
A happy Mother’s Day to all!
Pictured above is my wife, Kelly, mother of the inimitable (thank goodness…) Jack and Peter, at the St. Patrick’s Day pre-opening of Merlin’s Rest. She’s wearing a shirt from the lamented (lamentable?) Irish Well, emblazoned with the long Welsh place name “Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch” (ask Mr. Dingley to tell his joke about the train to said spot, but set aside plenty of time).

05.12.07 Wild Bill
Bill Watkins: gadabout, raconteur, boulevardier, as spotted at Merlin’s Rest.
I’m back from San Francisco with two rolls of black and white film and a roll of color slides to process; quite a town, San Francisco.

05.11.07 bar
The bar at Merlin’s Rest.
I’m on auto-pilot this week–putatitvely attending the Sun JavaOne conference in San Francisco, or so my employer thinks, when in fact I’m drawn more to City Lights Books and Chinatown than discussions of Service Oriented Architecture and .NET interoperability. Between sessions, I hope to at least catch some of the classic sights, like this bridge and chain from Craig Ferroggiaro.
