Sonic Flood Pics

It's been a while since the last blog. I finally have my new computer up and running so here is a little catch up. A group of us went down to the Sonic Flood Concert. They showed up on Guam and we decided to support. My ears were ringing a bit afterward but there was definitely a spiritual blessing from the concert. Then there a couple dive pics from last weekends dive! This weekend I finished a long bookshelf and we mounted our Bali painting. I'll get those up later. Hope you are all having a great weekend!!! Enjoy the Superbowl while were at work over hear :-(

Guam Red Dirt Mountain Series

Last Sunday I participated in the Guam Cycling Federation Red Dirt Series. After getting up at 6:00 and noticing it was raining outside, I should have known better. About a mile into the race our famous red dirt was so thick on the tires that they would stop turning. Finally I saw the light on the way down and start careening through the puddles instead of riding in the middle. It was good dirty fun! At least in hindsight!!

Well, this

Bali, Java, Borneo, Lomok - GOP Christmas 2008-9

Good Evening Friends and Family,
Here are a few fun pictures depicting our GOP trip to Bali this Christmas. A fun time was had by all and we did lots of diving to boot:-) I'll post the dive pictures later. As they say, a pictures says a thousand words, so here are 30,000 words!

How does the blog look?

I noticed that on the clinic computer the blog appears to be all messed up. Let me know if it does not look right on your computer. It should have a picture of Shoshanna and I in the left column, immediately to the right will be this post (or a newer one), and immediately to it's right should be a blue map with my travels. If it does not look like that let me know! Thanks

I'm Back....I think?

After wasting a few hours remaking the blog I think it's back in business. Even though... I'm now too tired to add anything of interest. Maybe this weekend I'll get inspired to post a few picture from out trip. See you then!!

I lost my links!!

Hafa Adai Everyone! We'll I'm back from vacationing with the family. I admit I was playing with different blog layouts before I left...it now appears I've lost all my links. I DID backup the layout...but that didn't help. Anyway, I'll try to get some picture up soon, I need to figure out the messed up layout thing first. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Walla Walla

Well we've been back a few weeks and I was hoping some of the fam would send me a few pictures I missed. Anyway, that might take longer than I though so I'll post a couple pics from Wally World.

Jon and Mandy...Many thanks for making the drive again to see us! It was great to see you guys and of course, Congratulations on the little tike in the oven;-)

Weekend with the Mundy's

We had a great weekend with Chad and Rhonda the last weekend. It was great to see them and of course little Mason. Chad also convinced me to get into the frigged Puget Sound water. Even though my toes about fell off I had a great time and even found 4 new Nudibranchs. Enjoy a few pics and maybe Chad M will send me some he took as well.

Leopard Nudibranchs

Nanaimo Nudibranch

Sea Lemon Nudibranch

Frosted Nudibranch

Narita, Japan

We're off work and on the way to the good old USA. By chance we had scheduled the same flight through Narita as the Fly's (on their way to india). So we went into town and enjoyed the Narita Temple and ground. We also enjoyed a veeery nice bowl of noodles at the Raman House. If your ever in Narita its was a great pitstop.

Unique Links

New addition to our blog.

Every once and a while we come upon a unique and interesting site that effects us in a special way. Sometimes we email the web address to everyone or just enjoy the site and move on. I just added something called "Unique Links" to our Blog to record such sites. After reading the latest Conde Nast Traveler I again found myself wishing I could be on a plane to somewhere. ..anywhere. One article had mini biographies of photographers most powerful travel experiences. Gregory Colberts mixture of art, wild animals and the human subject really inspired me. Enjoy his site!

Ashes and Snow.

Ausie Girls

Well, Shoshanna and Hillary are back from their trip. My wife had a few issues with the camera so were going to have to wait for Hillary to send us some more pictures. Anyway, here is one we were able to download from the Koala Sanctuary. Maybe there will be more to follow if were lucky :-) Have a great weekend.

New Family Member?

Greeting Everyone,
I'm batching it this weekend while my wife heads to Australia. Anyway, I've been left with a couple different ladies while she's gone. Cienna and Kianga... It seems we MIGHT be the house where she resides permanently. Kianga means burst of sunshine in Swahili (honoring our recent african trip). Chime in on the name if you wish!! It seems Cienna is finally accepting her as a member of sorts into her domain. Her sore arm is healing and she now is pouncing even more at around 5:00 every morning. Anyway, enjoy a couple pictures I just took.

Hillary is Here!!!

We are lucky to have Hillary Hillier (say that 5 times fast) here for a couple days before the girls head to Australia. Last night we enjoyed a great meal at California Pizza Kitchen with the Fly's. Today I had the day off so we went down to Piti Bomb Holes to get some Scuba Diving in. Even though it was great fun but I'm not sure it will compare to the Great Barrier Reef they'll dive next week ;-) Enjoy the photos!!!

Heading out!
