Jill's and my jack-o-lantern, Halloween '03      Welcome back again.   If you're reading this, it's probably already in the archive page, because I never got it published during it's time.   Web Hosting company had some customer service issues, and I have been playing frisbee, or video games with friends, or just about anything else.   Oh, and it also didn't help that I had my computer blow up in sparks and smoke.   I did manage to recover the data on my hard drive, and splurged for a new machine, And here we go, finally up and running once again.   Of course, now it's december, and I am posting the first page since JULY!

Another look at Jill's and my jack-o-lantern, Halloween '03      Well, on to my employment status: I am working as of August 11, for a company called Norandex.   I am working with some great folks, very easygoing, and good people people.   I am driving a 36' straight truck, delivering Vinyl siding, Vinyl windows, doors, and other random building materials to construction job sites, and to re-sellers.   It's a job.   Putting that U of Rochester degree to work.   I am not sure how long I will be able to afford to work here, although it has worked out great for Ultimate season (which is winding down).   Just below, are a few pictures of places I've been driving through or delivering to in the course of the day.   If I could afford to keep doing it, this isn't a bad job.   I get to see some beautiful country in Vermont and northern NY state.   I am already making fun of the folks I know still at FedEx, as about a half dozen more folks just quit as it's moving into the busy season.   I guess a few more folks actually want to spend a bit of the holidays, and maybe a few other moments over the course of the year with friends and family!

Jill picking apples on our anniverary trip      Jill and I celebrated our 6th year together with a weekend trip to Williamstown, MA.   The place where it all started.   In Williamstown, Oct 17, 1997, Jill and I travelled with the Ultimate Frisbee team from the University of Rochester, to a tournament hosted by Williams College.   The tournament is called Purple Valley.   Jill was on her first trip with the team, a 19 yr. old sophomore rookie, and I was in my third year with the U of R ultimate team, although only my second year travelling and competing.   Jill and I got along great, and hit it off that Friday night, spending much of the weekend keeping close company, and continuing that once returning to Rochester.
     Back to our trip, here is a picture of Jill picking apples at a farm a little south of Williamstown.   We picked a whole bunch, and Jill did some baking when we got home.   Enjoyed all of those apples.   Later that day, we went Hiking on Mount Graylock.   We climbed from about mid-mountain to the summit, only to try to avoid being hit by cars at the traffic jam at the top.   How anti-climactic!   I don't think I will ever climb any more mountains that you can drive to the top of.   So annoying!   Anyway, below is a picture on the way back down, we were a little late for peak foliage, and a picture of the town of Cheshire, MA from the top of Mount Graylock.   It was a fun trip.
