Santa Catalina 2009

With a borrowed spear gun, some short shorts, and a determination to bury a secret treasure Nick and the boys headed out for a whirlwind adventure that took them to the remote and mysterious island known as Santa Catalina. Sailing on the back of the prized 32' Lomani and being thrust along by the fierce 10 - 15 knot winds a mere 10 hours seamed like the blink of an eye for these all too land loving sailors to reach their island escape where they could do just about anything they wanted. Here are some of the prized pictures form the most talked about event courtesy or Kris Sundberg and the whole Lomani crew. A special thanks goes to Captain Jared Smith for saving the lives of all the crew on the high seas.

One more thing. Please stop sending requests for the location of the treasure (because there is no treasure of course, of course) or the forbidden pictures, they are forbidden for a reason just like the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Marley

In a recent photo shoot with the Pobst we snapped some pics of the Marley and Cohen West. While Cohen was not in a very photographic mode that day Marley delivered with some adorable dance pics and overall winners.

DM SmashPong 2009

Friday, May 8th, 2009 was the first official SmashPong corporate event. With limited resources and an abundance of vegetation the official games were played in true fight club fashion in the middle of a ring of parked cars. All teams learned advanced team working skills as they fought their way to remember how many hits and how many bounces had actually happened and if that one bounce that hit something actually counted as a bounce....or did that not count as a bounce?

While emotions ran high and tempers flared at some pivotal times during the matches, fun was experienced by everyone I talked to and SmashPong will live on in the corporate world. Here are some pictures from the event. Please enjoy liberally.

Doheny Camp-Out April 2009

Last weekend we were able to go on a lovely camp-out to Doheny, thanks to Nick's diligence to making reservations 6 months ahead of time. It was such a great time. We played at the beach, the boys went surfing, and of course had our sweet cabin to sleep in. We had an awesome menu consisting of "eggs in a bag" for breakfast burritos, foil dinners, "woof'ems" for desert among other items...

Brazil 2008

After 16 years away from the mother land, I finally returned. It was wonderful, first to see my family, and then everything else, the smells, the food, the people...
A lot of it was just how I remembered and didn't seem strange at all, and then there were things I had completely forgotten, like all the homeless dogs on the street, and how there are no shelters for them. Luckily my dad helped me rescue one of them, but after a while I couldn't even look, there were so many! It was an amazing experience, and I'm so glad I was able to share it with Nick or "Nickie" as they called him!

Iowa 2009
