Found this bill from one of my old college apartments. Not to far off from what I was paying in my 2 bedroom place in Cincinnati just months ago. But not even close to what I pay now in my house. I think this was probably all electric, as was my apartment, house is natural gas heat. Anyway, this college bill usually was split 4 ways. Oh, the days.
Rolling Stones at MSG in 1981. At the time we all thought this would be their last tour. "You'll never see these guys again." "Tattoo You" album tour. And we probably shouldn't have.
Al, Bill, Gordon, Doug skiing Okemo in April 1994.
My Mom's Jetta, Dad's Prelude, wacko dog Jenny in Nissequoge garge. What a terrible picture.
That Prelude was a great car.
Two angry guys, and one preternaturally happy. SHSE reunion 2003.
Isn't this how we all remember Bill Licht, with sweater "tossed" over the shoulders?
Christine apparently feeling miserable in the sunken den in Nissequoge.

My son is actually better than me at this game. Written by Billy.
The 5 seconds that Christine did something constructive on this sailing trip - captured!

I had a bit better "social" luck than Christine on this day in the Hamptons.
Teresa becoming hard core. Video/musical montage: "It's the eye of the tiger"...fades to..."Feeling strong now...fades to..."You're the Best!"
Fully hard core.
First day of Al's doom marriage. Teresa looking awesome. Yeow!

Trekking around Bariloche, Argentina in Northern Patagonia


Tronador waterfall.

One of my $20 rooms in Bariloche.
Sleeping accomodations atop Tronador. They provide bag and mattress.

Up on Tronador, Patagonia, Argentina

Inside the Tronador hostel. They had good food and wine. All brought up via a pack of horses.
Pampa Linda- glacial plain.

The hostel at top Tronador. Refugio.... This was summer time, and still got pretty cold.
Treking was pretty easy, not big rocks to grapple with. General pretty smooth ground.
We crossed various landscapes, decidous forest, desert, lava fields, glaciers, various stuff inbetween. Very cool.


The van that took us to the national park. Get out, register with the park, then
you're on your own for a day or two.
Heading back down the twisty trail.
This area was gorgeous. White trees, bright light, open space. Like nothing I've seen before. Just a small clearing.

On the left is the twisty trail.
Laguna Negra, at the top.


The hostel at the top. Pizza and ham sandwiches served. Could stay here too, but not too much room.
