Please send your experiences in Holland to The Conspiracy Channel. If we publish it you will receive $3-99 less $2 postage in the mail. Or you may just receive a sign......but not from us.

For any of those who spend their time with their heads wrapped in tinfoil waiting for the End, all of the above is greatly exaggerated, Holland is a lovely town......for retirement.

So I head off today on this big adventure! I will be in Amsterdam for 3 days and then I head off to Arusha on Sunday with my group. I am full of excitement and nerves and I can't wait to learn and experience everything this semester will offer. There will be many stories and photos (if I can find somewhere to upload them) to follow. 
Love and peace to everyone I will miss you!

Holland has been good for me... I don't think I could have spent another summer working at my high school job in Red Wing. But hey, who says you can't go home?

Now the processing of those images, down to a very few, begins when I get back in town. Dan and Braxton both said it was fun and I had a good time as well. Time to think about supper and getting this place cleaned up. Tomorrow its back to da lake and …

... lake looks like it comes up and under the cabin, VERY nice. It is very quite here so much so that the only sound are fingers on keyboard, or is it just my hearing. Anyway, very nice and I have made contact with the model for tomorrow and all sounds good. And so that's a wrap for today.

... trip. I'll take that as a positive sign. I'm taking a photography class right now in the hope it will enable me to take better pictures on our travels (and any other time I pick up a camera). This one ends in mid-February, at which point I will sign up for the next class, "Travel Photography". I should be done with that one just before our trip. Great timing! Thanks for telling me about ...

... to three métro stops and there are grocery stores nearby so we don't have to eat out all the time. The pictures of the apartment, building and area look very nice, I hope we're not disappointed upon arrival (I doubt we will be). The couple that owns the apartments seem very nice and get very good reviews from previous renters. There's a washing machine in the apartment, which is one of the reasons we're ...

Hello friends and family! It's official, today is the big day! I'm flying out of Grand Rapids, Michigan at 3pm to Detroit, where I will fly to Amsterdam before connecting to Glasgow, Scotland. I'm pretty excited and all ready to go (finally!) =) Again, it's amazing to actually be on my way to realizing a dream. It ...

MODERN ODDYSEUS´ GUIDE TO ALWAYS WINNING # 8 - When times are desperate and no one´s looking, rip off an idea from a classic legend - like Edgar Allen Poe. Only my creative brother and I wrote poems before the "Competition of the Week" 9: the poetry contest´s Saturday deadline. A cute, young, chipmunk-cheeked blonde, Janelle Dykstra, who has poetry on the internet, was the judge. She read the two entries and declared victory to: "The Obese Pigeon ...
