Left: Tom is a great guy and Marty's former roommate. He's also a star-wars fan and went to the re-release premiers with us in NY in '96. He'll kick your butt with a light-saber if you challenge him.
Right: Vic and Jenn are an awsome couple. Vic was another survivor of my first job at the metal newspaper. He makes a mean lasagna, throws a fine soiree, and has been known to hike. This is from when they visited me in Tucson.
Left: When Marty was here in Tucson, he and John were "The Lollipop Guild" and had a loyal, if meager, following.
Right: Mark S. Creal was the fine host who let me stay in his trailer in the desert the first week I lived in Tucson. Here is the wild-shirted man with his adorable and fun-spirited lady Martha, and a recently head-shaved John.
Left: These are two friends here in Arizona...Carl and Paul. They are brothers. They are of Viking stock. They are kinder, gentler Vikings though.
Right: John is an oddball sometimes.
Right: Me and John are a little too primary-colors here, I think.
Left: Bob is the easiest-going guy around. A swell fellow and Marty's childhood friend. He hiked Rainier with me and Sarah...the best hiking, climbing, and all-around friend I could have found in Tucson.
Left: You can't see the friend here, but Sarah is holding the rope below while I climb on Mount Lemmon. That mountain is also arguably a great friend, because it would be hard to live in Tucson if I didn't have such easy access to the cool forest and amazing views, hiking and climbing up there.
Right: This is just a real-nice picture of me and Marty in my mom's backyard around my birthday last year.
