ah, the eighties...

the day/year i was born:

  • "endless love" by lionel ritchie & diana ross was #1 on the billboard charts
  • bill murray was on the cover of rollingstone
  • roger sperry won the nobel peace prize for the specialization of cerebral functions
  • the average price of a dozen eggs was 90 c
i love the internet. and i love sites like this.

i can't figure out why these won't line up, but you get the point...

i went to lausanne and all i got was this lousy crepe...


SLASH - it was awesome! i had almost entirely forgotten about the french crepe-ry tradition, until i moved here that is. we went to this little crepe place (la creperie d'ouchy) down by the lausanne-ouchy dock and i would recommend it to anyone traveling around lake geneve. they have the standard "must haves" as well as a variety of their own pancake creations.

it's blog time

its memorial day weekend and bri had monday off. we took a trip to the swiss rivera and got to talking about setting up a blog. it seems right. we both have trouble keeping up with email and phone calls - plus, all our pictures are digital, so what better way to document our lives in der schweiz than electronically?

we cordially invite family, friends and whoever cares to actively participate in our experiences in this tiny, neutral country across the atlantic. we will do our very best to keep it interesting, updated and above all else true.
