Happy Birthday, Alain!

Wearing these glasses
And posing for a picture
Older and wiser?

Sunshine for both of us

Gene is enjoying
Warm, sunny NC beaches
It's sunny here, too!

*****

Gene's with family
While I'm holding down the fort
He'll be home Sunday

Disappointment

Despair can reveal
Our weaknesses and our faults
Still, we struggle on

RHIC Summer Sunday

Clad in red polos
STAR physicists welcome guests
Who would like a tour?

Catskills with the Castos

A great time with friends
Tristan, Alana, Demi
Sara and Trevor

*****

After we parted
We hiked to Kaaterskill Falls,
Climbed up Giant Ledge

Olympic Fever

Colorful and grand
Opening Ceremony
It was fantastic!

*****

Creative touches
Scrolls, blocks, drums, spheres, paint, tai chi,
Stunning torch lighting!

*****

China has problems
But we are imperfect too
Don't punish the Games

*****

Salute the athletes
We cheer, cry, and laugh with them
Olympic spirit

*****

Overworked TV
So many hours to record!
Will we watch it all?
