Friends

Ynette and I leaving an ambiguous trail of picture postcards from No-Where Zen Indiana (on a trip to visit Amy).   And no, I have no clue why we both appear fascinated with my shirt

Marina is one of my dearest friends. She's from Moscow Russia and is a very accomplished athlete and student. She has a junior world championship gold medal for volleyball and was the first freshman to be named player of the year for Conference USA. She is currently working on her second degree!

This another great friend of mine, Sonya. She is also from Moscow and also is a great volleyball player. She too has a gold medal and was a stellar player in Conference USA volleyball. Sonya's twin sister Olga is pictured to the left and she was on Russia's 2000 Olympic Volleyball team.  Sonya has two labs back home, Nusha (the dark lab) and Jean (the yellow lab).  Marina is in the middle of Sonya and Olga.

My beloved City. This is a picture of the Lake front off Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. Its a very wide expanse that is used for runners, joggers and rollerbladers. The Gold Coast can be seen in the background and the Chicago Yacht Club can be seen to the left. I can't wait to move back to Chicago.

This is the view from my childhood home. Eastern Kentucky is a very rural and very depressed region, but is one of the most beautiful places on earth. 

Rob and I on our way to see the opening night of the Chicago Ballet's Nutcracker.  We had a great time and got to dress up!

Co worker in Chicago. Did I mention I have reasons for wanting to go back to Chicago?  It's a great city with many wonderful sights.
