Taken on our honeymoon in Greece in the First Cemetery in Athens.

From athensinfoguide.com:

One of the most famous monuments of the first Cemetery is the Sleeping Maiden, the tombstone of Sofia Afentaki, a classicist work by Giannoulis Chalepas (1878). The girl seems to be sound asleep and nothing shows the rigidity of the dead body. In this way, the work fully corresponds to the model of the classicist tomb, according to which death is an eternal dreamless sleep. The sculpture owes its fame to a great degree to the artist’s tragedy, as this was his last work before his schizophrenia was manifested.

Shannon's birthday was last week and she wanted to throw a "I Get A New President For My Birthday" Party. She made great hors d'œuvre's for a bunch of friends who came over to celebrate. Good times were had by all.

It has been over 5 months since I have updated this blog. I haven't forgotten about it, I just haven't had a good chunk of time to develop and process photos. Living with two cats and trying to scan negatives is an endless exercise in frustration.

Here's the last few months:
- Got ACL reconstructive surgery. Rehab is going well - I may train for a half marathon in October of 2007. I'm currently training for a measly 5K, but considering that I've never run for the sake of running, I think I'm doing pretty well.

- Went to three music festivals over the summer - Intonation, Pitchfork and Lollapalooza.

- Traveled for business to Seattle, Toronto, Scottsdale, and New Orleans.

That's about it. I'll be posting a little more frequently. Maybe.
