On June 21, Dad Ellis, Vanessa, Meredith, Elizabeth, and I went to Box Hill Mansion for a birthday dinner for Elizabeth, and to finalize wedding plans. We are getting married at Box Hill on September 7. I took some video while we were there. Weather permitting, the wedding will be outdoors, down to the left of the reflecting pond shown in part of the video. The high def version is here.
On June 21, while Elizabeth, Vanessa, and Meredith did wedding stuff, Dad Ellis and I drove up to Hershey and toured the Hershey Gardens. I’ve uploaded a video of the gardens, and also a video of the butterfly house in the gardens. A thumbnail version of the butterfly house video is below, or you can go to the High Def version at Vimeo. The high def video of the entire gardens is here.
I’ve uploaded a few pages of photos that Elizabeth and I (both non-riders) took from the MS 150 bike ride today. The ride started in Pittsburgh and ends tomorrow in Erie - a long ride for sure. Meredith, Aaron, Dad Ellis, and Vanessa (a/k/a “Team Ditty”) did the hard work, and made a very good showing. Elizabeth, her grandfather, and I worked at the lunch stop in Grove City. As hot as it was outside, I was worried that Team Diddy would roll into Grove City looking a bit worn out. They arrived, though, in great shape and ready to continue on after a short rest. They spend tonight at Allegheny College, and then ride to Erie tomorrow.
I’ve posted the video I shot of the Golden Gate Bridge. Matt, Brooke, and I stopped at an observation point on our way out of San Francisco, and towards Squaw Valley, on May 10, 2008. It was so windy that not only is the audio worthless (I’ve dubbed over it with music), but also it was hard to hold the camera steady. There was a quite a view of the city from where I shot this. The clip below is the low-res version. You can view the high def version at Vimeo.

As I was looking through the photo directory on my media server the other day, I realized that I had never uploaded the photos taken on New Year’s Eve at Drew and Erin’s house. So, only five months late, here are the photos. It’s always good to start off a new year with good friends.
