My Bald Adventure

Holiday letter, 2005

Trip to Costa Rica and Nicaragua, August 2005

Articles I wrote, back when I was stationed in Panama, 1992-1994:

Community service project, Roatan, Honduras, published April 30, 1993

Favorite musical artists*: anything funky, Kanye West, Portishead, Fiona Apple, Eric Clapton, Nine Inch Nails, Mary J. Blige, Britney Spears, Busta Rhymes, Queen, Aretha Franklin, Fleetwood Mac, Kate Bush, Lenny Kravitz, Blues Traveler, Steely Dan, Madonna, Mozart, Earth, Wind & Fire, LL Cool J, Janis Joplin, Elvis Presley, Black Eyed Peas

*Note: I wouldn't necessarily trust my taste in music. I have a tendency to like cheezy stuff. They showed a countdown of the Most Awesomely Bad Songs of the Year on VH1, and I have to confess I liked most of them. Although I do have kind of an excuse: I grew up in the 80's, a decade responsible for an alarming amount of cheezy music.

Favorite things to do: Learn about bugs, travel, bike, canoe, almost any outdoor activity, stimulating conversation, dance (but I don't get to do it nearly enough!)

How could anyone find these celebrities sexy??? (in Laura's humble opinion)

• Tom Cruise. He's always got the same, incredibly ingratiating smile. He's 5'2" (well, maybe a little taller ...). He's the same in every movie!
• Ashley Judd. Have you ever seen her in an interview? She is possibly the most annoying person on the planet.
• Josh Hartnett. Three words: Big. Boring. Dud.
• Colin Farrell. I just don't get why anyone would find him attractive.
• Ren�e Zellweger. She's just kind of funny-looking.
• Matt Damon. Pale and pasty.
• Hugh Jackman. So skinny!

These celebrities actually are sexy:

• Salma Hayek
• Kanye West
• Dr. McDreamy from Grey's Anatomy
• Jennifer Aniston
• Vince Vaughn
• Pamela Anderson
• Tommy Lee

Greenland:

We arrived in Kangerlussuaq on July 14, 2004, and spent the day hiking near the airport. We found some antlers that had been shed by some kind of animal:

We set out from Ilulissat to backpack for a few days. I wore biking tights without realizing they were too thin to keep the mosquitoes away. Pretty soon my calves were COVERED in bites. Once we got back to Ilulissat and I could safely hike up my tights, I did so and scratched the heck outta those bites. It almost gave me the Big O.
Bites.

We went on a pretty cool midnight sun boat trip.
Me leaning out of the boat.

These two shots are from when we were backpacking up the coast from Ilullisat. It was pretty amazing to hike along, all the while looking at the ocean filled with icebergs.
Me brushing my teeth.
Tony brushing his teeth.

More icebergs!
Me and ice.

I had to wear mosquito netting so as not to go insane from all the mosquitoes buzzing around us.

The ice can make you pensive:
