Alan and Cyane in front of mountains Piz Bernina and Piz Palü, Engadine, Switzerland The photo above shows a high point in Alan and Cyane's year. You can track some of other things we did in blog postings from July and August. The 'chapter' that follows this one is Alan's old movie suggestions, all available for those with access to Netflix movies through DVDs or download. He offers criticism and commentary on those movies and others in the 'Wonderful Old Movies Write-up' installment. Cyane's blog entry is a summary of her adventures with Lyme Disease. She hopes that you do not have similar experiences. If you are curious, you can look at the chapter "Adventures With Lyme Disease, Fall 2011." |
