Oktoberfest!!

As Eric said, we were in Munich for the opening of Oktoberfest. We had a great time. Here is Eric giving Prost with our first stein. Our fantasic server Brigitte was fantastic; she could carry 8 of these at a time! I will post a picture of her on the new picture website. http://picasaweb.google.com/PurduePaula



There were 8 of us who met up in Munich. We had a nice table outside for the day, and the weather was absolutely perfect. We also found our way inside the Hacker-Pschorr tent later that night to listen to the band. They were a LOT of fun...those Germans really know how to throw a party.

Greetings from Germany

Paula and I are in Munich this weekend for Oktoberfetst. We had a great time yesterday at the tents and pictures will be coming shortly!

Zoom - Zoom!

I got the chance to go and check out the Indy Car Race in Chicago on Sunday and had a great time. I went with a couple of band alums - Andy Bauer and Jimmy O (who goes by Jim now, thank you very much.) Anyway, we had a great time.

Andy invited me over for lunch beforehand (great burgers) and I even got to play "duck, duck, goose" with Andy's daughter Anna. I've never played the game with 5 imaginary players before so I didn't do so well.

I'll try to get a few photos posted of the race when I get a chance this week.

Cruising in Alaska

Hey All-



As many of you know, we took a cruise with Dawn and Brendan to the Inner Passage of Alaska. We finally posted some pictures. In fact, we had such a great time we booked our Mediterranean for next summer while we were onboard in Alaska!!


Here is a shot of us on the glacier after getting off the helicopter. As you can tell, it is a LITTLE cold and windy.
