Well, we're not really "in London," but close enough for government work - About 20 minutes West, to be exact, near High Wycombe right off the M-40. And the weather's looking a little optimistic here too, but it's a nice place to live and work, with plenty to do and see right nearby. We've enjoyed our stay here starting back in July '95, but soon it'll be time to go and say goodbye to the UK. Till then, you can visit us here in cyberspace if the real trip's not in the cards for you.

If you're curious as to exactly what I've been up to "officially" as 'twere, check out http://neurope.europe.dla.mil I built the server that's runnning on from scratch, (among other things) for the DLA. My partner Bryan's the webmaster there.

She looks like Mom, sounds like Dad (those first weeks of breaking in the digestive tract make for some serious flatulence!), and is undoubtedly the best thing that ever happened to either of us:

Phoebe Alexandra Shaffer, born 7 March, 18:52
