A few photos

In 2011 Richard led a team of 20 of his dancers at the Spoleto festival in Italy.  See more here.


   

Sweethearts.  Tracey is a senior software engineer at Google, an amazing cook (they met while cooking) and more.  Married eight years.

and library of dance manuals.







Then for relaxing, a Carpenter Gothic hot tub solarium in the back yard.

Bad Movie Night




The view is wonderful.  It's quiet day and night... just birds and crickets.



The view panning to the left, with fog covering Silicon Valley at sunrise.  Google and Apple are under there somewhere.



The same range at noon.



and approaching sunset.


     

Trogdor.  He was raised by a dog, but doesn't quite sit up like a dog.  (Or a cat either.)

He also falls sound alseep sitting up.  That's Fonzie in the back, sleeping like a normal cat.

   




The gardeners.
