Hangin' in his crib...



Just a clip of Giacomo (and his mum) being silly...

Adam the Poleclimber


My brother Adam works for Seattle City light as a linesman apprentice. He recently passed "Climbing School" (hooray!), and here he is showing his chops, doing what is called a turnout.
What you CAN see is that he's staying on the pole merely by his belt and the gaffes on his feet. What you can't see is that he's 30 feet up in the air.
Go Adam!

August!

Giacomo had fun growling at pirates (and Aunt Nicki) at the Seafair Parade...


...and watching the Blue Angels with Grandpa Vito (who also wore his ear protection so Giacomo wouldn't feel "stupid")...
...and we had a wonderful time marooning ourselves for a long weekend on South Finger Island in the San Juan Islands with Coll and Simon.
