Updated 9/23/06 - Well, you found your way here, so I should clue you in, you know, give you a tid bit or two, into the Tao of B.  I've been really into backpacking lately and into my dog Spondy.  I got married last yearand turned the wedding website into my wife's and my blog.  You can check that out (at your leisure, of course) by navigating to http://bdow.org.  I spend my days as an environmental geologist (please don't omit the "environ" part) working at and on projects related to Space Launch Complexes at Vandenberg Air Force Base.  Some nights I am involved in the local kickball league (www.sbkickball.com) where I hold the position of division president.  I have a profile set up at tribe.net and use it as a sort of modern water cooler.  Additionally, I have set up a photo gallery at www.bdow.org/gallery that I will be updating semi-regularly.  Right now there are some great shots from our recent adventures to Santa Rosa Island and Mt. Whitney.  If you got a shot of a trip you did with me or were at the same function or event, please feel free to contact me; I would love to see it.  Maybe I'll even post it in my gallery for the whole world to see!
