palm-springs-2001-01.jpg

i stayed an extra week after the convention. i wasn't sure what i was going to do with it. stick around palm springs? head down to san diego? up the coast?

well, i went to the jackrabbits party saturday, and met tom. i palled (sp?) around with him all week, and had a far better time than i could ever have hoped for.

tom just moved to palm springs after having lived in los angeles for many years, and he hadn't seen a whole lot of the area because his apartmentmates are sit-at-home types. we ran all around; our two biggest trips were a day at the palm springs desert museum and another at joshua tree national park. i hadn't had my camera out for the whole trip until the day of the joshua tree excursion, when tom said he wanted to take a photo to remember me by. i got my camera out too, and got a couple of shots of him. this long shot is none too good...
