John in June 2007

In the Summer of 2007, we moved from the San Francisco area to to near Austin, Texas. The first leg of the trip was a stopover at John's house. We arrived at 1:20am, and John met us as cordially as if we had gotten there in time for dinner. We chatted a little that night - stopping quickly so we could all get some sleep.

The next morning we got up and went to breakfast which is where this picture came from. We had such a great time - laughing and talking. Upon arriving back at John's we discovered our white dog, Pearl, barking furiously at the statue of Buddha in the backyard. John had the presence of mind to grab his video camera and get this video.
