Okay, guilty as accused!
06.27.04 (10:20 pm)   [edit]
Alright - I am going to make a concerted effort to update this damn thing more often!

It really has been busy here - work is extremely hectic as we head into the final stages of commissioning the new plant. The weekends have been busy as well - here's a brief run down of this past weekend....

We started out Friday night watching Greece kick France's arse in the football quarter finals (semi-finals maybe? I'm not sure, I'm still trying to figure out the game and how teams are eliminated).

Saturday Karen and I headed to Sion with the girls to hike up to the Castle ruins:



Very cool castle - not too bad of a hike up there. The girls were pretty impressed.

Yesterday we took the train with some friends up to Zermatt to go on a hike. The temperature was perfect for a hike up there and we hiked around the base of the Matterhorn for about three hours stopping midway for a picnic lunch and a snowball fight when we came upon a random pile of remaining snow. A good time was had by all and we finished the day grilling up some ribs on our deck. Very relaxing day - I hated to see the weekend end.....

3 more days til John and his crew swarm in to leave a little more American influence on the Valais! We can't wait to see them and Elisa is very excited to be able to show off Switzerland to Caitlyn. For that matter, we're excited to show the area off to Johnny and Lisa as well!

Next week (July 5th) we are on holiday for a week! I can't wait - no work for 9 days! And to top it off we are going to head off to Rome with Johnny, Lisa and Caitlyn for 3 days of exploring another ancient city. It should be a good time and we are expecting to have many "blog-worthy" stories when we return.....

Anyhow, that's it for now - I really do have to get to work..... Til later -

Brian and Karen

Can't WAIT for you to get over here to help me out. It's exhausting work having to horrify the natives all by myself!

Still suffering the after effects of the bottle of BUSHMILLS that Johnny bought for my Birthday on Saturday. Man thats good stuff. I am still getting comments from the neighbors about the beautiful music they heard from my porch. One even suggested that we "play out" sometime..." Apparently "Kelly's Row" has live music and we should "play there". I had to laugh. We wish Brian and karen had been there on Saturday. You gusy were missed. MAN it feels weird to FINALLY turn 30!

Keep practicing guys - you might manage to get a gig sometime! :) Sounds like the birthday bash was a blast - wish we had been there.... God that "30" milestone must suck - thank god I've decided to stay at 27 for a while longer!

Does "concerted effort to update this damn thing" mean once a month? Jeez! You'd think you actually had a job to do over there or something...
