Jay Baird conducts a pre-flight check of a Piper Cherokee Warrior at San Carlos Airport in San Carlos, Calif.

Private pilot Jay Baird took advantage of the good weather and flew me (his wife) to the Hollister Airport so we could eat a at the Ding A Ling cafe.

It’s sort of an inside joke amongst pilots to call quick trips to small airport cafes flights for the “$100 hamburger.” It refers to the cost of renting a plane for a couple hours. As Baird explains, the “$100 hamburger” is one of the reasons he obtained his private pilot’s license.

Photos taken with a Nikon D90 (which I am still learning how to use), audio captured on a Flip Cam..

Listen to excerpts from my interview with Jay in my previous post, Interview with Private Pilot Jay Baird.

I took the pictures and edited this piece as an example for my students. I used a Nikon DC-90, Flip cam (to record audio), and Final Cut Express (to edit the audio and create the transitions between photos).

It was our first trip to AT&T Park and although we both got burned, it was great to watch Lincecum in person.

Go Giants!

So Mia, Kim and I got Cocok’s toes! Cocok is the name of an “Asian-style salon” in Okinawa. Kim got pink and chocolate with white flowers and tiny gold beads, Mia got Marie cat and I got Maneki Neko 招き猫, which literally means “Beckoning Cat”, but is also known as Welcoming Cat, Lucky Cat, Money Cat or Fortune Cat (Wikipedia).

Can you believe the details in this toe art?

It’s hard to believe Mia is only three-years old. She acts so grown up… like today, when she got her pedicure. She patiently watched the artist clean her feet, then “read” a fashion magazine while the woman painted Marie on her big toes.

She’s really smart for a three-year old.
