Here are a few assorted excerpts from the life of Robert Gerald Baesman here and there. Photos, projects, artwork, whatever.
There's no particular rhyme or reason here. Just some things friends and family may find intersting. It's by no means complete
and will change as often as I find the time to scan more stuff.

Burlingame Criterium '04
June 27, 2004
|
A whole slew of shots taken by a friend of Shaun's from work, Francis Parchaso, at the Burlingame Criterium. He's been kind enough to allow them to be posted.
As usual, all the posted photos have had their resolution reduced to be managable over the web. Let me know if you see a shot you want a blow up of,
and I can get you the full size, hi-res version for printouts and the like.

Snelling Road Race
Shaun's first bicycle road race, (38 miles), in Snelling CA, Feb. 22, 2003
- Early Risers: Shaun and I were there bright and early at 6:30am, (following a night at a crappy hotel in Merced).
- Team Warmup: Everyone gets the blood flowing to their legs prior to race time.
- Shaun & Cathy: Shaun gets her heartrate up as team coach Cathy discusses strategy.
- Support Car View: I helped out during the race by driving our car as a support vehicle. All the orchards were in bloom!
- One Tough Mama: Early on in the race, Shaun hit a big chunk of loose asphalt in the road and went down! However, she got
back up again and managed to bike 36 or so more miles to finish the race, (still kicking the butts of some stragglers from the pack). Here she is after the race showing off her war wounds.
- Velo Girls!: Here's the chunk of the team that showed up to race and support that day. Jill, 4th from the left, came in 1st from a field of over 60 women! Great Day!

Engineering Ski Trip
A crew of us from work took a Wednesday off, (Feb. 19, 2003), and headed up to the Sierra Nevada to ski and snowboard in the winter wonderland of Kirkwood
- Up the Hill: Jia and Eng-Shien ride up the lift as the snow swirls
- Ripping it Up!: Jia carves a wicked turn down the hill, (after recovering from the shock of the hills steepness)
- Mr. Burton Himself: Mike looks stylish in the snow
- Waitin': Rob and Eng-Shien chill at the bottom of the hill while the others work their way down
- Lunchbreak: The whole gang at lunch, (Pierre, Bryan, Jia, Rob, Mike, Jenny, Eng-Shien)
- In Her Element: Jenny relaxes in her natural winter habitat
- Backside of the Mountain: We all discovered the best part of the area was the backside of the mountain. Here Jenny carves her way down virtually un-tracked powder.
- On top of the World: I think we should do this every Wednesday
- Back on the Bus: Jia, Bryan and Mike contemplate the films they'd show us on the 6 hour drive back home.

Ireland Trip
A few snaps from a business trip to Ireland in late Oct. 2002
- Group Shot with DHL (10/2002): Our integration team and the friendly folks at the DHL Dublin Hub.
- Newgrange (10/26/2002): A weekend trip I made to Newgrange - a prehistorical burial mound about an hour north of Dublin.
Sunlight penetrates the inner chamber of the mound just once a year: dawn at the winter solstice.
- Rob at Newgrange (10/26/2002): A shot of me next to this 3200 BC monument
- Dublin Castle (10/2002): A courtyard in the castle at the heard of Dublin
- Glendalough (11/3/2002): This 6th century monestary is South of Dublin in the Wicklow Mountains.
I stopped there on my way back to Dublin after a weekend in the south at Kilkenny before returning to the states.
- Malhide Waterfront (11/3/2002): Boats in the harbor at Malhide, a pleasant fishing village and now posh
suburb north of Dublin. Notice the hint of a rainbow in the upper right. I ate in Malhide on a couple occasions, and went walking
here on the beach on my last evening in Ireland.

"Anakin"
Our recently acquired kitty-cat Anakin. He's about 3 years old and quite beefy, (about 17lbs currently).
We adoped from Palo Alto Animal Services in Oct. 2002, and he's gradually adjusting to his new home.
What's unique about him is that he's missing about 30% of his left leg. Rather traumatic injury of his past it appears.
But he's very sweet, and is gradually becoming less scared of everything ;-)
San Mateo Co Housing
Until recently, Shaun and myself lived in the San Mateo Co Housing Community,
a wonderful group of like minded enviro-leftist-hippie types. We eventually decided to move on to our own space to pursue
other interests, but still have many fond memories of the place. Here are some people, places and events of the community.
- Group Photo (summer 2002): A happy gathering of SMCC folk.
Back row: Alpesh, Shaun, Rebecca, Brian, Jeff, Michelle. Front Row: Clay, Sanda, Todd, Rob, Darcee, Sara
- 3am World Cup Action! (summer 2002): Shaun, Alpesh, Todd and myself (no pictured),
up bright and early for the World Cup Football (soccer) Championship game.
- Party on the Doc (summer 2002): A number of my friends from my Engineering group
at work at a little gathering down on the community dock. Clearly visible in the picture, from left to right are: Matt, Jenny, Terry, Kleber and Lance
- Garden (summer 2002): The green-house, garlic-bed and ornamental "stump" bed, bathed in summer sun.

Shaun & Rob Wedding, Jun. 24, 2000
After being together as a couple for well over 5 years, Shaun & Rob tied the knot in the Summer of 2000. The venue was the Marin Headlands,
overlooking the mouth of the San Francisco Bay, just north of the city on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge. These pictures have extra
meaning now as most were taken by Shaun's late father, Dave. We are so glad we were all able to spend this wonderful day together with
family and friends.
