About a month ago, Robyn and I swabbed our cheeks to collect DNA samples to send to DNA11. This company performs a gel electrophoresis, extracts certain markers and makes amazing portraits out of them.

Here we are collecting our DNA last month:

And here’s the result. Keep an eye out for the pics that describe what markers are highlighted:

I managed to smuggle some secret footage of the square dancing that went on at Kate & Gary’s wedding this summer.

Click on share – it’s Clearspring-enabled (blatant self-promotion), so you can send it to your friends.

It has been a long time coming, and I’m so happy to finally see them together. Congrats to my mom and Gary on a beautiful wedding and best wishes for a long life together.

You can see the photo album of the wedding preparations here, and of the ceremony and reception here.

Robyn and I have escaped Long Island for a bit to have some fun on the west coast.

We flew into LAX on Wed and are out in Redlands now. The plan is to attend (Robyn’s mom)Kate & Gary’s wedding this Friday. Robyn and I are both in the wedding party! Then we head back into LA on Saturday and spend some quality time with Jason & Doris, Albert & Julia, and their newborn Eric.

On Sunday, we take the ferry over to Catalina Island for a week of kayaking, snorkeling and other random water activities.

Once we’re home, I’ll upload all the pics into the local photo album. But until then, I made a flickr stream with the tag vacation07, and will be uploading there as we go. I made a badge below that will update as well.

A beautiful outdoor wedding in Massachusetts on a perfect day. Go here to see all the pics.
