On June 17, vaguely around 6PM, Dad and I drove down into Seattle, to the Duwamish Longhouse. The Longhouse is the first built in Seattle since the last one burnt down, and is now also a cultural center. One of Dad's former co-workers was doing a presentation for the Whale Trail with John Calambokidis (who conducted the necropsy on the whale beached on Arroyo), and had asked dad to help her with the technical part of it. When we got there Dad and I started with setting up the projector, checking the sound equipment, microphone, and setting up the power cords.After we finished,and all the people came, we took some seats so we could sit near the sound equipment while we watched the presentation. Everything ran smoothly, except once when the computer displaying the logo started to go into screen saver mode (so we had to move the mouse occasionally).-Caleb

Hi Caleb, by the fourth word,I knew you wrote this one. You have a unique writing style. I like it! Sounds like a fun opportunity for you and your dad to help with this presentation. You're gaining some great skills!
Wow! The fourth word? That's good observation. Yes we had a very good time keeping the sound in check and jiggling the mouse. The funniest part was when Calambokidis (it's a long name isn't it?) showed us some clips from some "Criter Cams". Whenever a whale plunged into a school of krill it would miss a few and they would roll down its back. Makes me think of Finding Nemo.
