Montana and Wyoming

I went to Big Sky, Montana, for a week-long science policy conference, bookended by time in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The photos are here.

Gay Games VII in Chicago!

Jeff and I had a wonderful time in Chicago for Gay Games VII. Finally, at my third Games, I won my first medal! I have a bronze medal from the triple jump competition in the track and field event. My first-ever track meet, not to mention my very first triple and long jumps as well as my first races around a track. In comparison, swimming was almost old hat, but I had a great swim meet as well. Jeff also came home with a bronze, in the 4 x 800 (track) relay. My photos are here.

While we were in Chicago, DCAC put on a fabulous Pink Flamingo show. In the spirit of the event, we did Jack and Ennis' Underwater Fantasy as pink sheep. We have a slide show of our performance! Lots of Gay Games pictures are here. Notice how our pink outfits stand out. My teammate Dan took a lot of pictures of our preparations. Once again, it's easy to see his PF pictures because of all the pink.

And more pictures keep getting posted. Pablo took lots of pictures of our preparations and moment-by-moment snaps of our 4 minutes of fame. And Outsports has yet more pictures of our preparations, and our performance.

Utah - Zion and Bryce Canyon

After the Gay Games, I went to Salt Lake City for work, but drove down south to Zion and Bryce Canyon national parks. Magnificent scenery, as you can see here. It was a glorious, though hot, weekend of hiking.
