We managed to get Dan successfully wed without a hitch. The ceremony was pleasantly short, the weather was great, and the whole place was full of LANL and Microsoft geeks, which I found very agreeable. Somehow I only took two pictures during my entire visit, one of which didn't come out well. So... here's the other one:

Knee-deep in Lake Washington, Dan sings Layla a song.

Now I've flown from Seattle to Phoenix, and it was one of the most scenic flights I've ever taken. It started with a flyby of the west side of Rainier. Unfortunately, you can't see the route I'll be climbing in a couple weeks:

The west side of Mount Rainier, rising above the clouds..

Shortly afterwards, we flew right over the summit of Mt. Hood, and I could see a single rope team making their way down from the summit. Later, we flew over the Grand Canyon, though the lighting angle there was sub-optimal.

The Phoenix airport still gets huge kudos for having free wireless... I'm waiting for my flight to Tucson. That is all.
