But I have no bang for you, only a vague promise that I’ll redesign and update soon. But for now, I want ... http://www.andyfowler.com/journal/2006/08/image-shackle-and-miscellanea/ Have you ever had a day where you think, “This minute has got to be the highlight of my year,” but that thought comes every thirty minutes? Those are pretty great days. Today I went skiing with several of my Olympic coworkers. Thanks to some friends in Sestriere, I learned we ... http://www.andyfowler.com/journal/2006/02/a-little-place-i-call-the-alps/ Not much time for a post today, mainly because I’ve had to some work on the computer, which has taken a few hours this evening, and I’m just tired of looking at a screen. After work, we declared today Fun-in-the-snow Day, and borrowed a bunch of sleds from the television ... http://www.andyfowler.com/journal/2006/02/sledding/ Just an update here to let you know that I’ve added a new set of photos to Flickr. It’s been a busy few days, especially with all of today’s quarterfinals and semifinals. I’ve made it through a lot more snow and cold without any sickness, which is better than a ... http://www.andyfowler.com/journal/2006/02/a-few-more-pictures/ It’s 8:15pm on Monday, the one-day weekend for the production crew at Pragelato Plan. While I didn’t get to fulfill my original plans of skiing in the Alps today, I had a very restful and recuperative time. Yesterday we got off of work around 4:00pm, which gave me plenty of ... http://www.andyfowler.com/journal/2006/02/just-what-the-doctor-ordered/ It’s 10:15pm here in Pragelato, Italy, which is a little bit later than I wanted to start writing, but I took a 1.5 hour nap this afternoon, which should give me a little extra time. Just as the last few days, tomorrow the bus leaves at 6:45am. Monday, should be ... http://www.andyfowler.com/journal/2006/02/olympic-malevolence-and-other-short-stories/ It’s 11:00pm on Thursday night, and again I write from my bed in the TOBO temporary housing in Pragelato. I just uploaded several new photos tonight, so take a look at them. This morning started out very warm and rainy. At about 40 degrees, it was cool enough to keep ... http://www.andyfowler.com/journal/2006/02/im-at-the-olympics/ I have to wake up in a little over six hours, so I apologize that I can’t write all that I want to write. Today was our day off, and I went in to Sestriere with several kids from Asbury, as well as eight or nine Italian students. But that’s ... http://www.andyfowler.com/journal/2006/02/more-from-pragelato/ It all started with a discussion on the lack of meat in much of Italy’s culinary choices. Today at work we were hungry, which caused a long discussion about food, and got me thinking about cheeseburgers all day. I hadn’t had any kind of “carne” (red meat) for at least ... http://www.andyfowler.com/journal/2006/02/im-lovin-it/ .flickr-photo { } .flickr-frame { float: left; text-align: center; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } Italian Dance, originally uploaded by Andy Fowler.
