This is a cool video my adorable and talented nephew created of some of my mountain climbing photos (and one of Hiro Kuraoka's).  Wait about 80 seconds for it to load and start automatically in QuickTime (if you have it).  OR, click on YOUTUBE.

After years of working up to the point where she could dedicate herself fulltime to her passion, my sister-in-law, Sandy, is now traveling around the world giving painting lessons and selling her work so my brother, Burke, could spend more time fishing.

My niece, Becky, is very creative. "BananaSaurus Rex features astonishingly beautiful things for post-modern bohemian Mamas and retro-stylish Babies — made of amazing vintage, recycled and other rescued materials. Everything here is one-of-a-kind and handmade by me! I'm Rebecca Thoms Hanley, a semi-retired graphic designer and full-time mother of two, trapped in suburbia. Where do I find the time to sew? Who knows. Does it keep me sane? Just barely."

My cousin, who is not much older than I am, has a brain disease called Pick's Disease. Her three children have recently started a small foundation as a research and educational adjunct to the UT Dallas Center for brain health called TAG, Think Ahead Group.  Pick's Disease causes a slow shrinking of brain cells due to excess protein build-up. Although it is commonly confused with the much more prevalent Alzheimer's disease, Pick's Disease is a rare disorder that causes the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, which control speech and personality, to slowly atrophy.

"World Change Starts with Educated Children" - In 1999 I met John Wood through mutual friends at the Thirsty Bear in San Francisco.  John described how he and his father wanted to help children in countries like Nepal by providing books and building schools to improve their education.  Room to Read has since built schools in Nepal, Cambodia, India, Laos, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, South Africa, Zambia and Bangladesh.
