A 100% full flight this morning to Chicago. Last row. No hope of an upgrade.

Heh…and then the flight attendant spotted me blogging this: “Not my best side.” Awkward.

What a busy weekend…full of friends! Curt, Cheryl, and Loren wrapped up their west coast vacation with a couple of nights at our house. Matthew arrived from Michigan to stay with us for the summer. Chris shared dinner with us on Friday night, and Brad and Brian joined us for dinner (and Mexican Train) on Saturday night.

My spring photo show with my fellow Fort Mason Photographers went well, as usual. We had a rousing opening on Friday night, and a steady stream of visitors all weekend. I sold two prints, including one to dear Michele (THANK YOU 🙂

I had five new images in my spring series (four on the wall…the final shot below is a bonus shot in my bin). These images are from an airplane series I’ve assembled through my travels.

Happy Mother’s Day, Mom. Unfortunately, you will have to imagine the virtual hug accompanying these Santa Barbara daisies.

Love you.

This week, I’m spending a few days working in Denver. I’m staying at a Hyatt Place…a simple-but-hip entry into the business class of hotels. The rooms are as if a W Hotel and a Courtyard by Marriott had a tawdry fling.

Today being Cinco de Mayo, my coworkers and I had dinner at a popular Tex-Mex joint downtown. The margaritas did not disappoint 🙂

But the true highlight of the evening was an amazing desert–Sticky Toffee Pudding–from the cozy Vesta Dipping Grill. The photo below doesn’t do the dish justice. It was warm and gooey and rich, with a complex flavor…I swore I could taste layers of fig and butter…but nobody was telling. Big kudos to my dear friend Sarah for letting us in on her little secret.

We took a 15 minute tour of the SFO tarmac this morning. It seems that we have something “special” in the cargo hold that requires “special” paperwork that must be held in the cockpit. That paperwork was left at the gate, so we had to turn around.

They have computers and printers and data connections up there…can’t someone send an email or a fax?

Makes you wonder what’s down in cargo!
