I realized a few days ago that the picture on the right there is about 800 years old but since I never reinstalled my webcam after I reformatted, here is a glare-y digicam picture of me in the bathroom mirror. After I worked out on Saturday, thank you very much =)

Oh yeah! I was totally prepared to go work out again today after work with Paul (okay, okay, I lie, it took some coaxing, but I relented in the end) but when we got there, there was no parking and he didn't want to valet (stupid West LA Bally's) so we went and got some Japanese food for dinner instead =)

And because I needed to shrink down that picture I figured I may as well take care of some pictures of my nephew from Christmas which I never posted.

I call this series of pictures "Ode to a Grape Tomato"

For our trip to Sedona my aunt packed a box of grape tomatoes. We gave one to Ian (the baby) thinking he would chow down on it but instead it became his best friend for the rest of the hiking trip.

He was delighted by the tomato's ability to roll down the rocky terrain.

He also enjoyed chucking it down the rocks and then running after it, which left us wondering how long it would be until he a) fell or b) fell on top of the tomato. Luckily, his father has quick hands.

This was the only way to get him to face the camera while we took a picture. That's his mom (my cousin Ingrid) and his grandma (my auntie) and if you look closely you will notice the tiny red tomato firmly grasped in his tiny little hands.

In closing, here is a picture of Paul and Taz sleeping. Just because I think it's cute.
