Took our breath away


Took our breath away
Originally uploaded by mikemac29

While wandering around Blacksburg today, we did walk over to the April 16 Memorial on VT’s campus.

    The rest of the story

    Just put up some more of my pics from San Francisco. Now I’m off to bed. There’s nothing like being out at training for a week, coming back to the office, and being absolutely swamped with work to make you exhausted! Not to mention the cold medicine, thanks to being stuck on airplanes and spending…
