My wife and I spent the first 4 years of our marriage in Oxford (UK, not MS). It was a wonderful time. I have been back just a few times, but 10 years after we left we returned with our children. That was 2007 and these are just a few […]
We had a great tournament at Penn State this past weekend. A little rain wouldn’t stop these guys (and gals), oh no!

I am back from my trip to Freiburg, Germany. It was a very productive time and on the last day, yesterday, the sun broke through just long enough to get some pictures at the flower market taking place in the Freiburg Münsterplatz. This statue, presumably of St. George, since he is […]
