St. Petersburg was the furthest port of call that we cruised to. From that point on, we started heading back to Dover, England. Our first stop was only a few miles away. Helsinki, Finland is so close to the Russian border that they actually moved the Russian capital from St.…

After two additional days at sea, we reached St. Petersburg, Russia. The Russian government required guests who wished to visit the city without the supervision of the cruise company to have visas. As we did not have visas, we had to go on several of the cruise company’s tour packages…

The Constellation’s first stop after a day at sea was Oslo, Norway. I was eager to see the fjords that I had heard so much about. Sadly, I didn’t realize that not all fjords are created equal. There are small ones and the towering cliff ones that people normally associate…

Jeremy celebrated his 30th birthday party with friends aplenty in his San Francisco apartment. The homemade chili and lasagna were quite good and very filling. Joyce, David, and Hunter from The Bakery Box provided the rich chocolate cake, and Heidi mesmerized us with her stunning recital of Liszt’s Tarantula. Apologies…

The Worldwide Newton Conference is being held in a couple of months in Paris, France. I’m tempted to go, seeing that I’ll be in London the last week in August. I should just stick around in England and France that week, go to the conference and head back to the…

Catching up on some photos from the past several weeks. On June 19, I attended the wedding of my friends, Leslie and Will. I know Leslie from my days over at Palm. If Leslie and Will look familiar, perhaps it’s because you saw them on The Learning Channel’s Perfect Proposal!…
