This is me with my wife (then fiancee) Stephenie Corn,
in College Station TX.
I earned the T-shirt by riding the 2004 Houston-Austin BP MS150. This is a
180 mile, 2 day bicycle ride which raises money for Multiple Sclerosis. It --
like Texas politics -- is heavily sponsored by oil companies. The team
which I joined, now sponsored by Sun & Ski Sports, used to be "Team Enron".
That cycling jersey would have been totally cool!
I won the 2002 U. Waterloo Alumni Gold medal.
This is my faculty picture taken at Texas A&M, fall 2002.
Where's Nico?
This is a week before the Superbowl in Houston TX
in 2004; Union Pacific (UP) drove this
Challenger locomotive to Houston
from its home, in Cheyenne WY, to celebrate. The locomotive is being prepared
to rest for the night in Hearne TX (~20 miles north of College Station).
If you can find me, you will see the back of Stephenie's head
in front of me.
Ahh ... autumn.
I was raking leaves one morning, when a photographer from the local
paper drove up and asked if he could catch some pictures of me raking leaves.
I figured the picture
would get buried in the Local section somewhere. Instead, it's on the front
page, caption (paraphrased): "It's warm today, not so warm tomorrow."
Ahh ... spring in Ontario.
This is April 17, 2011. That is snow.
I am foolishly training for a half-marathon in Ottawa on May 29.
