Ex-CPA turned World Traveler
Who says you can't meet a nice guy over cyberspace? I met John over the net February 2000, shortly before he took off on a year-long trip around Africa. We kept in touch by email during that year, and when he returned, our relationship developed into more than friends. I guess that was in the cards, since our first correspondence to each other (by chance) happened to fall on Valentine's Day. |

Back from Africa
May 2001 John with his map of his travels through Africa. The black lines drawn on the map (yeah, I know they can't be seen here) show the routes he took. From the late 1980's to 2002, he has traveled the non-tourist route through 73 countries, his main objective that of learning about the many diverse cultures by interacting with the people who he met along the way. |

Boggle Champion Loses Undefeated Status
When I first met John, he taught me how to play Boggle, and since then, it has become one of our favorite indoor activities. I am the only person to date who has been able to beat him at the game (when playing two-player), and we remain fairly competitive when playing each other. We love the game because we love learning new words, and well heck, if it weren't for Boggle, I never would have learned the meanings of the words "slub" and "fug." However did I manage to get on in life before I learned those words! |
Rogaine? Yes? No? Hmmm
