Victory!

My baby brother has just returned from 14 months of trying to conquer to globe (see his woefully untended blog "Global Conquest" in the list of links to the right.) He has returned somewhat pale and thoroughly undernourished - he lost 25 pounds - but victorious. The photo below he plans to send to his comrades back in Poland, where he was living and working, and who are currently plagued by bitter cold, snow and ice.

And as you can see by the photo below, it is rather nice here so I'm going to go play outside. We have a BIG day ahead of us. I think we might go swimming and then get the world traveller a new phone and phone service. And then we might go swimming again. There may also be some reading and/or drinking beer by the pool. Stress, stress, stress!
