06/03/2010 David and me. David's sister, Anne took this picture. It's a rare occasion when David and I are in a picture together. Usually, one of us is behind the glass. This is really similar to the last image I posted. It was taken only moments later in the same location. Too bad this setting isn't local. But I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to reproduce.
