Live Music at Yankee Homecoming

I’m certain Anna knows who this young lady is, but I don’t remember. There has been so much good music already in the first two days of Yankee Homecoming. We were walking by during her performance, and of course, we had to stop and listen. Update: Her name is Joy Sumberg.

Bugs!

For the last week or two, I’ve been working on a port of Apple’s Cocoa Bindings technology to DHTML. Up until yesterday, things have been going swimmingly: like the Objective-C implementation of Bindings, the JavaScript version just worked (the hallmark of most Apple technologies).

Mount Mansfield is the highest peak in Vermont. Haselton trail is a strenuous trail starting at the base of the Gondola chair lift and ascending 2800 feet in a little less than 2 miles. That’s steep.

Anna Smirks

Wearing her “Baby On Board” t-shirt, Anna gives me a smirky smile as if to say, “I know you’re planning to kill me, but it won’t work.” Little did she know what was in store for her!

Into the Cave

The Clara Bow trail dives into a cave giving the gang a taste of rock scrambling — on damp, slippery rocks.

Anna Clowns Around On Mt. Mansfield

Not willing to be out-done in the clowning-around department, Anna poses for a photograph which I assured her would grace the cover of a backwoods magazine…
