Les Pyramides



Well, if you never hear from me again, it will be because I have given up on technology and thrown this laptop off a bridge or out of a window.... So, I apologize for the lousy pictures and promise that tomorrow I will apply the lessons I'm learning and take some good shots with my phone as my (Sony) computer has now decided it no longer wants to communicate with my (compatible) (Sony) camera. Aaaagh. So, please just believe that I took some stunning pictures using my polarizing filter, but that I'm the only one that can see those stunning photos. Aaaaagh. Add to that the fact that my computer has now decided to display only in Swedish and that the downloads are so slow that I have plenty of time to pull out my rapidly-graying hair between screen refreshes! Oh well....


Above is a strange picture of Lisa and me clowning in front of the Louvre several days ago. It's about all I have to offer today... The French either love the Pyramid (which is the entrance to the Louvre) or hate it. I think it is rather spectacular.

But enough of France.... though my camera refuses to prove it, we had a fabulous, very sunny, day today, visiting prehistoric sites here in southern Sweden just west of Stockholm. Our friend John Kraft accompanied us to help us understand the labyrinth in the context of these sacred landscapes and to point us up the right dirt tracks. Tomorrow we head further west, toward the coast to see more labyrinths, petroglyphs, painted churches and the like. The group is lovely... labyrinth people are always so nice to travel with!

I will try to post a real picture tomorrow, but ask for your support in sending me good camera/computer wishes. And if that doesn't work, I'll just send you all a postcard and forget about computing forever....

You've got my good tech wishes, with a most selfish motive...as I love your posts and pictures and hungrily await them!!!! I love the pyramids, especially with you and Lisa out front! I await pics from Sweden!

Hi Jeff and Kim, it sounds like you are having a lovely time apart from the technofear! Wish I was there with you. I was thinking of you when you were at the Louvre. Did anyone record it?
Arron and I are deep in setting up the studio, studio website and a circuit-bending empire. I have 2 more gigs lined up soon. I'll be able to make lots of silly noises on our new "Space-Cat" tm. synths and effects when you get home! Love XXXX
