Yoko at the Golden Gate (on the way up).

What do you get when you combine a meeting at Sun, skis, a Japanese national, a Ford Explorer (Eddie Bauer edition, white), the ability to consume vacation time without everything getting out of control and 2 amateur photographers in the month of March? The mother of all road trips!

Overlooking San Francisco (on the way back). Everything seems a bit bleary now.

Sun is having a briefing about the upcoming Solaris 2.7 release. I decided to stay at the St. Francis and experience rush hour traffic. While there are worse fates than spending time in Silicon Valley, there aren't many of them, and time spent there should be kept to a minimum.

This release will work better than the one before and maybe perhaps they will have finally delivered on the promise that abandoning good ol' BSD-based SunOS was the right thing to do. And they would. Now time for some fun.

Yoko flew in first and Paul would arrive a day later Friday night. Nice day to tour wine country. Gots to maintain the stock.

Made sure to eat at The Stinking Rose before picking him up at the airport. I'm sure he enjoyed that.

Looking out my hotel room window.

It's Saturday morning and time to start a road trip. We did go so far as to plan our destination but how we would get there would be made up as we went along and only figured out the day before where we wanted to wake up. Sunday we wanted to wake in... Tahoe. Sounds good. Let's go.

Oh look, an art show. Let's see what that's about and then we'll go. Met an artist, Jon Rife. Paul bought a piece and now I'm immortalized on his web page.

Paul taking a picture of California St. If that cable car would only show up.

And we also had get some breakfast, walk around for a while, go to another gallery and eventually we'd find ourselves on the Bay Bridge.

McDonalds in Sacramento, mmm.
