These first few pictures are from the Fourth of July barbeque we had up at my house in Syracuse. A bunch of us all just hung out, ate good food and relaxed. From left to right: Amy looking like she has to poop, Evelyn, my girlfriend Jess, Mandy, and my Tom-Cruise-look-alikeroomate from last year, Chris. ˆ amy a ˆ chris hanigan ˆ jess d ˆ mandy m ˆ 111 redfield ˆ porch ˆ

Another porch shot! (Most pictures were taken on the porch, because for the most part, that's where we spent the majority of our time.) ˆ amy a ˆ chris hanigan ˆ jim golden ˆ john polhamus ˆ ken ˆ mandy m ˆ michelle zassenhaus ˆ 111 redfield ˆ bbq ˆ

I'm not sure exactly which weekend this was taken because bowling was one of our favorite things to do this summer. But not just any bowling, oh no, this was Rock 'n Bowl! Aw yeah boyeee. ˆ chris hanigan ˆ jess d ˆ mandy m ˆ me ˆ bowling ˆ thumbs up ˆ

The very first thing I had to do during my Lucent intership over the summer, was fly to Phoenix. While I was there, my friend Maytia was moving out to San Diego and it turns out she was going to be at the Phoenix airport for a brief layover. I took cab out to the airport so I could say hi! Here we see the little lady posing with everyone's favorite cowboy, John Wayne ˆ maytia ˆ point ˆ

Here is a group shot of some of the people I worked with over the summer at Lucent. From left to right: Mary Lambert, Laura & Ken Jewell, and Dave Brown. ˆ lucent ˆ

Here's me with my Lucent co-workers hard at work on the Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Great Adventure. Does it look like I liked my job? That's Mary and I in the front, and Dave Brown and Brian Milewski in the back. ˆ lucent ˆ roller coaster ˆ
