Friday began with some word processing where one stupid mistake meant that I had to recreate the story of the previous pictures I took. I had breakfast with Sharon Long who comes closest to being my counterpart at Stanford and then headed off to Google where the buildings were a little surreal on the former SGI campus and the signage led me to the lobby where I was met and met Mike Boddicker '00 on the way to meet with Eric Schmidt shown here with his assistant who came with him from Novell (and Sun) until we met Pam Shore who has also been with Eric along the way. After seeing this spiffy demo of where queries come from, we discussed the company, the University, children, etc. until it was time for me to make my way to the Avis place and return my car to this woman who thanked me for taking her picture. On the other side, I took a shuttle ride that necessitated having some wine, so I was offered a choice of the house white or the house red along with some elegant nuts as Sylvia and Dan sat to visit with me.

We went upstairs for dinner where I had salad pasta and vegetables as Sylvia ate chicken and Dan had the rib eye steak. I sprung for the tiramisu at dessert and then captured Dan and tried with the occasional successful picture and others less so and a good one and some bad ones before a better one to capture Sylvia who seemed to look better next to David, our waiter. Gentle viewer, you are invited to offer your opinion about which was the best of the pictures.
