Now that I&#8217;m part of five separate teams, my days were basically solid meetings, but there was still time for drinking after work, and an archery team event. I also took advantage of the free weekend beforehand to make my first visit to Mountain View in quite a few years.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos2.alanv.org\/knowngalleries\/San_Francisco818\/NKN_5700.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos2.alanv.org\/knowngalleries\/San_Francisco818\/NKN_5979.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos2.alanv.org\/knowngalleries\/Salesforce818\/WRL_2557.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos2.alanv.org\/knowngalleries\/Archery818\/NKN_6662.jpg\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos2.alanv.org\/knowngalleries\/Archery818\/WRL_4406.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then it was home for a few days before I was off to Chicago and Madison for my cousin Melissa&#8217;s wedding.

Then it&#8217;s another wedding in Boston and a birthday celebration in mid-September.<\/p>\n<p>Oh yeah, and there was a cat birthday party this past weekend.

September also marks the end of another fourth-month period, as well as a likely time when I&#8217;ll break 450,000 photos.
