Paris bound.

Just because I am stuck in Penzberg, Germany with Roche, there is no reason that Michelle should not take advantage of living in central Europe, right? Michelle thought long and hard about this, wrestled with the decision, then decided to go to Paris for a week without me. From the picture on the right you can tell how much she missed me while she was gone.

Croatia and Slovenia

Michelle, Maggie and I were able to get away from Roche, NewGen and the Penzberg - Arth shuffle long enough to visit Croatia and Slovenia.


First stop Pula. On the tip of the Istrian peninsual in Northern Croatia.

Roche! Switzerland! Germany! Oh my!

After a short discussion with Michelle (do it! do it!) we have decided to accept a reassignment by Roche and to live in Switzerland and Germany for one year. Packed our bags, said our (temporary) goodbyes, shoved the dog in the crate and away we go!

As soon as we were out the door Jon and Sarah booked their flight to visit. Apartment in Arth, Hotel Berrgeist in Germany. Roche in Penzberg Germany. Roche in Rotkreuz Switzerland. NewGen. Sample Prep. Blood Screening.

Mountains. Lakes. Snow. Spring. Autobahns. Trains. Gruzzi!

New Camera!

Received a Nikon D80 SLR digital camera as a wedding gift from Peter Corwel. Expect the pictures on this site to be much improved from this point forward.

Honeymoon!

If you ever get the chance to go to Maroma on the Mexican Riviera.. do so.

Married! 9/9/06

Cloudy beautiful San Francisco day. Kelly and Isaac officiated, Kevin and Shellaine stood by us, Jon and Sarah strummed and baked, parents and family were there to witness... could not have gone better. I couldn't be happier, married the best girl in the world.

Bachelorette party?

I asked Michelle to marry me; she said yes, the wedding is coming up in just a couple of weeks. So what does that mean? Bachellorette style parties. As far as I know, this photo shows the height of perversion reached at Michelle's party...

June 2006, Hawaii

Had another excuse to go to Hawaii. In June 2006 Traci and Chris got married in Hawaii. Kevin, Jess, Michelle and i took advantage and stopped off in Hanauma Bay.
