Hi Folks,

I didn't shoot much this past week, as we were in a car crash on 
Tuesday.  Fortunately we are all fine, but with my wife being pregnant we 
spent some time under observation in the hospital followed by a few very 
sore days for me and much time spent talking to insurance agents, body 
shops, car rental places, etc, etc.  I was a bit more tossed about than 
Allison, as I am a little too tall to fit properly in the seat of a car and 
had also tensed up when I saw the pickup truck in my rear-view mirror just 
before it smashed into us as we were stopped waiting for someone in front 
to turn left.  I think it must be some kind of cosmic punishment...we had 
bought our first-ever brand new car in February (the first time I'd ever 
owned a car under 8 years old, in fact)...it hadn't even had its oil 
changed yet...still waiting to hear whether it can be repaired or is 
totalled.  Oh well, we are all fine and it's only a car.

On a brighter note, we also had a good occasion this past week: the first 
PhD defense of a member of my close group of friends who all met when we 
arrived here at Duke together almost 7 years ago.  Afterwards, the new Dr. 
Stephanie was happy, relieved, tired, and slightly manic.  My PAW this week 
is a snap of her at her defense party:

With my time at home feeling sore, I managed to put together a page of 
snaps from our recent vacation in the British Virgin Islands...it's all 
off-topic equipment (a Holga and an Olympus Sylus point-and-shoot), but 
it's there for anyone interested in sailing or the Caribbean (or both).

Comments welcome.

Best,
Aaron
