... this year - we've managed to catch up with a few friends and family. I'll share a few pictures with you - I haven't had my camera with me much this past month and in hindsight I guess I should have been taking pictures of us with all our various doctors....Hmm, maybe next year!!

One other thing that has happened since last we 'spoke' - Ken & I have both had a birthday. I am ...

... if I said anything that was hurtful and was
misunderstood. I think that you are one of the few real girlfriends I
have had in which I do not remaain friends wit today. Married or not.
Both parties know of my existence and there is not a problem, as we all
have a past. However, things came out wrong, I do not know why, and you
misunderstood. I would however, still state that contacting an old
Boyfriend without ...

... slept on top of the comforter), food at breakfast was moldy & out-dated, and we've been ignored/dismissed/transferred/hung up on by several Hampton/Hilton reps via email & phone conversations (which I saved and logged). Clerk spoke to us in Spanish after we made a complaint about the financial error, and she refused to tell us what she said. We were locked out ...

Der letzte National Park auf unserer US Tournee ist der Yosemite. Hier gibt es Fluesse, Seen, Berge und Tausende von Baeumen...ein wahrer Wanderer-Traum! Leider hatten wir kaum Zeit zu wandern, muessen dies aber irgendwann noch nachholen :-)

An unseren letzten zwei Tagen in den USA werden wir nochmals die ganze Fast Food Palette durchlaufen und uns im Wal-Mart Superstore am Groessenwahnsinn ergoetzen :-)

This is my first attempt at "blogging". I must say that I tend to think of myself as a "digital immigrant" but am truly trying to become a "digital native". Please be patient with me.

When we first started talking about taking a raod trip this summer it started off just going to Yellowstone. The trip seems to keep expanding due to the excitement about traveling. We seem to have big plans, so we will see how much we ...

Did you know that the Delta that off the San Francisco Bay, has 1000 miles of rivers, islands and many other tributaries? No, well neither did I until last week when I arrived at Father Mark's to look at a uniques Sailboat that was docked at Ladd's Shipyard in Stockton. Other than falling in love with this unique boat, in which I had to have, I fell in love with the idea of using this boat to explore the many rivers that all end up in San Fran. Mark did a great job extending the ...

... for a walk around town, hearing what sounded like an open air concert we followed the sound and ended up at......a GAY PRIDE event. We sat and watched for a while - the piece we saw was a dance act and then a DJ. There was one hunk who could really dance....and quite a few "cuties". Anyway at least Diana will be pleased to know I've been to a GAY PRIDE event. There were lots of stalls around the amphitheatre, mostly food but also gay stuff ...

... out the essence of ME and distilling them on to paper, that I can now step back and read them objectively, and I think I did a pretty darn good job. Which is why Im writing this to encourage everyone. I know the Match process may be confusing and frustrating, but just keep pushing forward and before you know it, it will be Match Day. Also find strength and encouragement from your peers. It is a big help to know that you ...

... of books that needed my attention. We were already three hours behind schedule and struggling to climb over California's Donner Pass--gasping because there were two private antique rail cars and three freight cars latched onto the rear of our passenger train. The load was clearly too heavy for the single engine which finally had to be shut down to cool off. I asked the conductor how long we were likely to be stopped. He smiled warmly and said: "I guess we should ...
