Lisa with Einstein's Ghost behind her. "Stay away from my China Cabinet" he said.

Me with the Ghost of Einstein behind me.

Me with Einstein's clothes (on the manequin).

Lisa with Einstein's china cabinet. Leave it to Lisa to check this kind of thing out.

Me in Einstein's dining room. This is where he ate his soup.

Cheese. I've squeezed it, cut it, and now I've seen it made.

Lisa hanging out with a couple of cows. "Just standing around, chewing the cud" they said.

My picture with a back drop from sears. On our way to this place, we saw a guy, completely nude (except for shoes). No pictures on this blog of that to protect the little ones. There was much speculation on why he was nude, but that he had his shoes on implies intent to be nude outside.

Guess who took this picture? Me! My arms have gotten longer.

"I'm as strong as a mule but my ears are too short."

"I laugh at your puny farm machinery!"

Lisa and I in front of the Cheese Factory. I guess they don't manufacture cheese, they just coax it out of milk.

I didn't know electricity was so mean.

Bobcat cage at the zoo.

Don't feed the animals.

Seaport Village. This was a pretty cool place about 5 min walk from our hotel. The weather was beautiful there.

The sand dollar to sand euro conversion rate ain't what it used to be.

A rock going "I can't breathe, I can't breathe!"

Jane Goodall was the keynote speaker at the conference I attended. As soon as everyone found out she didn't bring a real monkey, they were disappointed (or at least I was).

Lisa and I at La Jolla (it is pronounced Hoya I found out).

Lisa and I watching a star crash into the ocean.

Beach Bunnies.

Chariots of Fire

Me, Kevin, and Fardosht pose "by a palm tree in the sand". Although there is no palm tree.

The view from Tammy's room in San Diego. When we arrived after almost 24 hours of traveling, the hotel didn't have rooms for Mark and Tammy. This was Tammy's reward the next day. 19th floor corner room.

The Odom boys with Granny Odom. I look much thinner.

Lisa with baby Hensley version 1 and version 2.

"I love a bear in uniform!"

Michael in front of the Louvre. I remember my first time here. You get 5 years worth of art in 2 hours.

Lisa and Michael in Rome. Michael went on a trip with Lisa and her school kids for 10 days in Europe.

Grandmama with the necklace we got her in Germany.

Lisa, Granny, and I. Granny has her new necklace on that we got her in Germany.

Are you sure Uncle Michael is the one who should teach Karsten how to drive?

Happy 4th of July!

I've ridden up here a few times.

Nathan and new Fraulein.

Me and Nathan Jennings, back together at last!

The Odom boys (sans Michael) at the wedding.

Cynthia and Josh got married. Now I have a brother and law to pick up some of my slack.

Our "Erwin's" experience when we were back in Memphis. Only it wasn't at Erwin's because it was closed. These are all of our old buds that we used to hang out with alot. This is by no means an all inclusive list.

So Lisa calls me and says "I hit a deer". Apparently the deer she hit was much smaller than American deer and they are also apparently an endangered species.

The "Slappcomfort" mattress store. I thought it was funny that the word "slap" was in it.

A truck that said Karsten on the side. Whatever he decides to do when he grows up, this company has a truck with his name on it.

Lisa and Justin Glass in Heidelburg, Germany at the castle. Justin was working in London and came down for a few days.

9 times out of 10, it is best not to get medical care from a bus. This is one of the exceptions.

Some of the people who came to the clinic. They had a bus with medical supplies that went to the outlying villages and gave medical care.

Superman has much more spacious accomidations in Poland.

Capt. (Major Select) Parker Wright in uniform.

This is the group of ladies that went to Poland on the mission trip and the men who got up early and did the grunt work.

Absolutely no pavement here.
