don's home on the internet

I was going through some old family pictures recently and noticed some interesting things, thought I'd post them up.  Click any picture for a larger view.

First, looking at my grandfather, father and various other family members, there's a strong family resemblance:

Grandpa

My father as a kid (next to his mom)

Father as a grownup

My cousin Mike with his wife Diane

Me this Summer

Second, a lot of us seem to have sort of a demented sense of humor:

Dad told his family this was his "Summer uniform"

My cousin Mike after we visited the Sci Fi museum in Seattle

My daughter Elise prior to a ride

And after a ride

Third:  motorcycles!

Grandpa riding what appears to be a 1948ish Harley

Elise and I on my new Triumph

Fourth:  NERDS!  Mike and I both have a degree in Math, work in the programming field.  It seems to be
hereditary, too.

Some irises that came to us from grandma's garden:  surprising they're still alive, as we're not good at keeping plants alive...

Finally, a cool page from a family album that my Aunt Sally put together with pictures from my dad's time in the service
