I'm working on post-processing photos from my Europe trip and found a couple favorites...

This is on the elevator ride up the Reichstag in Berlin. The lines, angle and a lucky, blind shot worked for me here.

This is the view from the castle in Salzburg. The clouds created a spotlight effect on a neighboring guard station.

The far, tallest mountain is supposedly the mountain from which Julie Andrews ran to her monastery upon hearing church bells in "The Sound of Music." The scene of her running back from the mountains to the monastery, below the castle, took just seconds. I can assure that Julie Andrews could not have run that fast... Or could she?

My Memphis team lost yesterday, but that's OK because it's on to The Bigger Dance!

I have Elin Nordegren (wife of Tiger Woods) going all the way... so to speak.

Check out the brackets here (pdf).

Actual IM conversation today:

Scott: I think I need to get a general doctor... haven't had one since high school.
Me: Not a bad idea considering how injury-prone you are. And your immune system is subpar. Courtney is embarrased by your inability to fight the common cold.
Scott: My ability to fight the common cold is FINE... I think I have that SUPERBUG they are always talking about on Discovery Channel that will kill everyone in the world.
Me: OK. I get it. You have the Bird Flu.

Congratulations to The Wives for completing "Boot Camp."

They signed themselves up for an all-women fitness training camp in March where they worked out at 6 a.m. at Green Lake, rain or shine, four days per week for four weeks.

Now they are lean, mean dancin' machines and have signed themselves up for another session of "Boot Camp." Way to go, girls!

And now they can officially kick my ass for posting the above photo.

I skied my first "black diamond" run (Read: steep shit) today at Crystal. Go me!
