Lovely set of pictures, so much to see. That man WalkerK fair gets around the world.

We ran into a friend (Farlander's wife, although he could not make it) at the Wicked Tinkers stage:



Here's a close up of her shirt



By the end of the day, everyone was all tired out:



We went back to the tent, where I shared some excellent Chocolate Stout with Gene:



And we found Alan, collapsed after volunteering all day on the Althletics field (he claims that carrying a caber around is a piece of cake...the first 5 times or so, but not so easy the hundredth time!)



It was on the way back to the tent, that I stopped to get Xena some food and was sucked into a street performers show (actually, I obnoxiously sat right in front of him, finished the flask of whiskey and heckled him until he pulled me up in front of the crowd, along with four big, strapping lads and used us to demonstrate some principles of physics. Damn, my thighs hurt today! ). Unfortunately, no pictures, since the camera was strapped to Panache and he went off to visit with the Clan Cummings Society.

Also, I don't think there are any pictures of the rousing game of mouse baseball I played with my son and his new friends (Xena had also made a friend and went off with her to her clan tent, inadvertently leaving her mouse behind. Pair the mouse up with the swatter, and a tipsy mom, and you get...that's right, Mouse Baseball). This game came to an abrupt end once Xena returned (luckily, she did not actually see us thwacking her mouse all over the clan tents).

I do know that walkerk has many an interesting picture to post, so I'll stop monopolizing this thread. Panache may have a few left as well. We'll see.

Be well,

Thanks for sharing the photos. The Pleasanton games are one of the few things the family and I miss since we left and took up residence North of the border.
