Lilly Plays Love Thy Neighbor
Love Thy Neighbor is a favorite German card game of several good friends, two of whom have played the game for decades. Needless to say, they regularly beat me. But now I have Lilly. After losing every night during a guys-only skiing trip I was aghast to hear myself exclaiming, "This game's easy. I could write a computer program that beats you!" Months later and after many hours of work, Lilly was born. She doesn't always win, but she's better than I am. Try a game. |

Silent Giants: St. John's to Cabo
Occasionally life presents the opportunity to do something very special. For me that opportunity came in the summer of 1991. I had spent 25 years designing high-performance computer systems: mainframes for General Electric in the sixties; minicomputers for Data General in the seventies; and supercomputers for Alliant Computer Systems, a company I had cofounded and for which I served as Chief Executive, in the eighties. By early 1991, I was ready for a change. Our story begins four months later just off the southwestern coast of Newfoundland... |

Wild and Crazy Friends
Chris and a six-foot rattlesnake...Mark and a college buddy at the 19,340 foot summit of Kilimanjaro...On her first parachute jump at Skydive San Diego in Jamul, California. Lisa jumped from 13,000 feet and enjoyed the long view down as she free fell at 120 mph for 40 seconds...John setting the Guiness World Record for riding the most rollercoasters in a 24 hour period...Paul flew across some of the most beautiful - and desolate - mountain terrain in the world...In 2003, Bob made his fourth Around The World Flight. Halfway through the Tarawa to Hawaii leg he passed just south of Typhoon Jimena...Johann has often flown in Sugarbush's wave. Some sailplane pilots have climbed as high as 25,000 feet. |

Phenom Jet Association
The Phenom Jet Association was founded in 2010 as an international organization to encourage the safe and efficient operation of Embraer Phenom aircraft, and fellowship among owners, pilots, operators and service-providers of these fine aircraft. The Phenom 100 and 300 lead their classes in performance, range, efficiency and comfort. So it's not surprising that in less than two years nearly 100 Phenom aircraft are now flying in the United States alone. |

International Cessna 195 Club
In the sky our hearts beat faster when we admire the enduring loveliness of a particular airplane, which for one reason or another achieves the status of a standard of perfection. The Cessna 195, Cessna's cabin class "Business Liner" possesses these qualities. A little before its time, already an antique, round engine and taildragger makes it instant nostalgia...Born in anticipation of a post-war aviation boom that never materialized, the 195 was the last of its kind. |

Julie's Page: 1997
As we come to my latest piece, my masterpiece, you will notice a young girl looking out of a window, overlooking flowers. An Amish child looking out of a window what else could be more innocent and simplistic? Well the painting required many layers that made the painting full of different colors and shades of each of those colors. Each of the watercolor pieces require a lot of work and patience along with more than 70 different colors. On the average I think I spent at least 6 or 7 hours on each watercolor and the pastel was just about the same amount of time. On this watercolor I learned new techniques that will be useful in future pieces. |

Horse massage is a technique in which the practitioner uses hands and body to manipulate soft tissue, thereby positively affecting the health and well-being of the animal. Massage should be performed by a graduate of an accredited massage school who has specialized training in equine anatomy, physiology, massage and veterinary ethics. The work should be done under the referral of a veterinarian. |

gruner.com: 1997
The Internet was a cool place in its early days. People were trying all kinds of new things. My first home page featured classic science fiction movies. Click on the image to the left to open it. Bandwidth was limited so images were kept small. Once on the homepage, click the link below the image for the movie sound clip. Refresh the page to view different movies, they're randomly organized. Can you recognize all of them? |
