Poor Pluto...

Picnic at Neuchâtel

I have been frequenting the forum at illustrator John Howe's website since 2003.
Since then I have been corresponding with some great people all around the world.
I got to finally meet some of them last weekend!
Last Friday I boarded the train at Kaiserslautern, Germany and headed to La Chaux-De-Fonds Switzerland. I stayed 3 nights at the home of one of my e-pal's parent's.
By the stays end, I met some fantastic people, met fellow forum goers at a picnic, drank much wine and tried Fondue for the first time!
Also, after a total of 10 hours on the train (to and from) I feel like I am a master of the euro-rail system. (I only missed one train in Basel.)
Here are some pics:(this time you can click to enlarge!)


Fellow "Howers"




Lac de Neuchâtel, Switzerland


I hope to post some of my own pictures, (the ones above were taken by some of the other forum goers) however my camera battery is dead!
It will have to wait till I get home again.

See you in September

I will be overseas for the rest of the month. Hope everyone has a great August!

One Year

So according to the Federal Government, I am now officially a resident of Massachusetts.

What the heck do people here call themselves anyway?
I think the correct term is Bay-Stater? "Masshole" doesn't sound too endearing. Maybe I'm not supposed to know what the correct term is. Kinda like how I'm not supposed to go on a duck tour or hang out at Cheers.


oh...oops.


Today last year...
