Hey Hi, <\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong><\/div>\n

Been a while. The only excuse I can come up with is to tell the truth. I was abducted by aliens a few months ago and they had 4 month a no-publish clause in my release papers.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
So Fall came an went. I explored all parts of Syracuse within a 3 mile radius of our apartment. <\/strong>That is the limit of my daily running range. I do a daily run now as otherwise I would turn into one of those blob guys who never leave their apartment. Here I am decked out in full bright-and-not-run-overable running gear:<\/strong><\/div>\n

Helen and I are the same size in almost everything (my breasts are a bit smaller), so I borrow pretty much everything of hers, including the above clothing, which includes running shoes, pants, jacket, and hat. For our formal outings, I borrow her her dress shoes (I forgot mine in Minnesota), dress shirt and sweater. The underwear is mine.

Last month Helen presented a poster at the annual Epilepsy meeting, this year in Philadelphia. This shows the ONLY time I have gotten her to sit down in front of my most-amazingly-big 30″ monitor. She needed to see the 6 foot poster she was creating:<\/p>\n

While she attended lectures, I played, exploring most of downtown Philly. I found this boatload of Irish immigrants disembarking by the Ben Franklin Bridge:<\/p>\n

I also walked in the footsteps of our founding fathers. This is a national park guy explain to about 40 Japaneses tourists that this is the room where they signed the Declaration of Independence. They had a translator, but somehow the translator didn’t translate the park guys jokes very well, as I heard no appropriate chuckles from them, only the click of a billion simulated camera shutters.

This is me whooping it up with Helen’s co-workers, pretending to be a pool shark:

And of course, I found the famous art museum steps where Rocky Balboa ran up during his training. I ran up, but for-went (past tense of for-go?) the Rocky Balboa dance (for those of you who didn’t watch the Rocky movie, he dances like a little a little ballerina with thick arms and droopy eyes at the top of the steps). I can only imagine how many times that dance gets done there. Here is the metal facsimile of the dancing guy:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today we are in our first ‘nor-easter’ storm. In theory 30 inches for the year so far, but we only have about 10 inches on the ground to show for it. We sent looking for the Yeti monster today, but only found hot chocolate. This is Aya, visiting for the xmas break, dancing in the snow with Helen:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

We are here for xmas, and in NH for the New Years weekend. Will report back next year sometime, hopefully before Spring!<\/p>\n
