No pictures....

I rarely take pictures anymore. In spite of this, I almost always carry my digital camera *and* a miniature tripod with me. I do not know how to express why I rarely take pictures now . . . I guess I am not sure why.

Anyway, life is still nice. The American Association of Immunologists (AAI) has been having their annual meeting in Seattle. I am not attending the meeting, but I was able to catch up with some friends from Genentech, my old employer. (Genentech is now fully owned by Roche.)

My Auntie Muriel and Uncle Ron are also visiting from Fresno. We went to a local Indian casino (Muckleshoot) to try their seafood buffet, which was very filling, of course. :-) Auntie Audrey and cousin Michelle ate with us as well. Toward the end, the others went to gamble a little, but I wanted to let my stomach sit so I could squeeze in dessert. Uncle Ron came to get me 20 minutes later, but I hadn't even moved from my seat, because I was so full! Uncle Ron said that maybe I should get dessert first next time.

They also have bingo right next to the casino, but I did not get to try it out.

For Mother's Day, we spent time with three mothers: Grandma, Auntie Nancy, and Olivia, my cousin's wife. (I called my mom in Sacramento.) There were a lot of relatives and good food.
