Red-Handed Jill Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 I wish. We didn't bring a camera because we thought Mark would bring one. Then he told us he almost never takes pictures and almost never takes a camera anywhere. I did take some pics of him in garb the next day with his cell phone. Hopefully, they'll end up posted here. So if anyone comes up thisaway and ends up sailing with us, bring your camera!
Misson Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 They are still in my phone. I tried sending it to my brother in law so I could get them into jpg format and post them and it failed utterly. *Sigh* I have to figure out how to do this. My phone is holding my pictures for ransom.

Misson Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 BTW, had a fabulous time SF. Much better than the first time. It is a city much worth walking about and observing. Spent the fore with Jack and Jill ( Sorry...had to...) the mid going on walkabout - even found a pirate shoppe of sorts - and the aft with Autodesk. I met the most fabulous woman this morn' at breakfast. She was in town to fulfill her duty as a board member of the American Funds. But her history included many years of work at a Think Tank. I believe in my heart of hearts I would love to be on the staff of a TT. Like me, she started out as a starry-eyed idealistic communist (the pure sort) and wound up through thought and consideration as a more pragmatic, but still (somewhat) open-minded libertarian (note small "l"). I suspect we would've spent hours and dinners together speaking on great and many things had she not to go to work (as a board member - she lived in VT and had commuted for the semi-annual whatsit) and I not to catch my flight. I have a whole new view of SF. I should very much like to visit Jill & Co. again and ride aboard that beautifully restored tall ship they mentioned in passing. Yep, good times.

Just read this post - you mean the mutual fund company? Their funds are the best (says the former financial advisor.) Mark - any time you want to visit you'll be most welcome. We'll come up with more adventures for you!
