I had been at Siggraph '04 but somehow forgot to take any pictures until I got to Fullerton and had lunch at El Cholo with Paige, Larry and Janet
and then headed to StopLook to see the new machine
and the work it did
while Mikey was on the phone
and the workers were happy to pose with their machinery
Soon I was on the other coast and down to the beach for a week's vacation in a rented beach house that Sarah and Suzanne checked out
as Andrew
Lucy
Jane
John
Ben
and Suzanne
settled in and Sarah showed her new haircut
before the table was set
and the food followed
and hors d'ouveres were eaten
and drinks drunk
as the macaroni arrived
and all were seated
and this was my plate
in better light
as the post dinner card game
led to cleaning
as Sarah read
the television played
Ben hid
as did Suzanne
and the gang of 4 watched
The next day, Ben was first up
and we made our way past the bench
and sign
along the way
to sit at the beach
as a few tried the water
and Suzanne
admired the seaweed Jane brought back
ad Ben
paid attention
and we pondered digging at water's edge
until Ben
and Jane and John
admired the overhead sign
and as Jane and John watched
I recorded the people passing by

until the next day when Ben had breakfast
as Michael arrived for Lucy
and they crossed breadsticks
before the beach called Ben
Suzanne
and Jane
and we made this elegant structure (Stonehenge 2)
before Ben explored the water

until the next day when Jane
Ben
David
Sarah
and Suzanne
got ready for miniature golf
as Ben
and jane
teed off as we watched
and the ball went into the hole
even as the game progressed
a few more holes and we sank putts
until we got to the last hole
and decided to head to Kelly's
by the lighthouse
for dinner where Sarah and Suzanne
Jane
and I
posed as the salad
came for Suzanne
and more salad
sandwiches
and fish
amused Ben
but not as much as the ice cream
that ended the day.
The next day began with Jane
and Sarah reading
as we passed the flag
and the corner
to find Suzanne and Ben on bikes
while back at home, the cell phones
and powdered sugar
told a different story as Suzanne showed fingers
and Ben curled up
as the bikes were replaced
and the foosball began
before we went by the cars
and the bikers
rode to Mustache Bill's Diner
where Jane
Ben and Sarah
and me in this self portrait
and Suzanne
and Sarah and Ben again
looked out at the Islander's Store
before Sarah and Ben
admired the ketchup
Jane smiled
Ben
Sarah
me
and Ben
passed the time before the pancakes
toast
more pancakes
more toast
and eggs (and, of coruse, more pancakes)
arrived as did Kaylena nd Fred
as Robby George chatted with Suzanne
and then Robby posed
before Suzanne came in
and Kaylen
and Fred posed at the table
as corn arrived
and Ben
wondered when dinner would cook
even as the salad
and plates
were ready, so finally Kaylen and Jane
and Fred and Ben
had salad
and corn
as I posed for this delf portrait
and Sarah, Kaylen, Fred and Jane were in the couch
where another self protrait
and then Jane
Sarah, Kaylen and Fred
and Ben
believed that the foos was here
and Ben, Sarah and Kaylen dug in
as did I
and the plates were cleaned
which made Suzanne and Ben
happy to relax until the next day.
As Sarah ate her breakfast
Judy Cohn
came by for a walk and Lily and Fanny watched television
as Ben
and Sarah
wondered when Lily would do Sarah's hair
which amused Ben
as the hair continued with Lily and Sarah
and Ben kept watching
until Lily finished Sarah's hair
and Suzanne re-engaged in cooking
as food appeared
with many Jersey tomatoes
waiting for mozzarella
to make this nice plate
with hummus
and salad
and chicken
which amused Suzanne
as the makings of salad -- tomoatoes
peppers
and chicken
appeared along with the tomatoes and cheese
so that Jane
Kaylen
Fed
and Fanny
watched the fan
ad Jane and Fred
watched the card game on the floor
as the broth was stirrred
and the peppers cooked
and corn added
to make the corn and peppers mixture
as Phillip and Jessie Cohn arrived
and the pasta with sauce was assembled
as Kaylen, Fred, Jane and Jessie played 4 way solitaire
as Lily poured the oil
and the card game continued
as Ben and Philip played foosball
and I admired my tanned feet
until dinner was served
Suzanne and Judy left
and Jane served
then Sarah served
Ben and Jane ate
as Fred
and Fannie and Lily watched
until Lee Cohna rrived
and Philip and Ben posed
as the food remains
and last meats
of a week at the beach stood there for all to see.
