Ki was having a birthday celebration that weekend, and
invited me along to a paintballing adventure. I only
have before and after shots, as the experience was not
really camera-friendly, to say the least.

The Injury
Pete and I suffered similar injuries on the upper lip,
both of us taking a paintball straight to the face shield,
which had a grill for breathing that wasn't 100% protective.

We all had to wear "dog tags," to identify the bodies.

This is at Ki's dinner party later that evening, which
occupied three tables at an all-you-can-eat-and-drink
tappas restaraunt.

One of the other tables. The food was quite good, and
the sangria was quite plentiful.

Pete, Adrian & Claire
Adrian and Claire are engaged professors at the University
in Redding where Ki's parents also teach. I didn't
get much chance to visit with them, but they seemed
very nice.

Carl, Hazel, & Ki
Ki is very close to her brother, Carl, and shares a
keen interest in extreme sports activities. (Carl even
has a Ph.D. in it!) Hazel is her friend from high school,
where they did drama together, and she is enjoying some
success as a stage actress.

Alan and Ki have been going out for over a year. Alan
is a great chap, and I spent most of the dinner talking
with him and Emma, as they were seated across from me.
