This year was happily consumed by Un-Scripted's inaugural season. I still had time to dabble in directing regular plays and go to Alaska for the Last Frontier Theatre Conference (though I haven't made it back since). I also made it home for the annual July trip to the lake with my sisters and their kids. Although, they were one kid short as Joseph hadn't been born yet. Perhaps more importantly, I got a digital camera that year.

This year I left my 20's behind and ventured into my 30's. Thank god. To celebrate, I went to Vegas and Maine with friends. It was on this trip that I attempted to read Night Fall by Nelson DeMille. I complained constantly on the trip about how bad it was until Tara finally said "Then why are you still reading it?" It had never occurred to me that I didn't have to finish a book that I'd started. Then that Christmas season that book was a bestseller. Seeing that horribly written piece of crap sell first planted the seed in my head that I could write a novel.
I moved into my own little studio in the Inner Sunset in 2004. Mom and Dad came out to visit me for a lovely weekend in Sonoma that fall. In the spring, I got to go to China to visit MerryMaker's factory, and I went home a few times. Joseph was born and went from this in April:

To this in November:
