I looked at the date somewhere recently and it struck me that 2008 is 25% over already! And I thought, well geez what all has happened?
Here’s what has happened so far:
- I got sick twice in January, and got mostly over it just in time to
- Go on a trip to Egypt where I saw the most incredible sights ever
- Then I came back and got sick again
- A week or two later, my best friend died, so I went up to Juneau for the memorial
- I got food poisoning before leaving Juneau
- And 48 hrs after getting over food poisoning, I got the damn flu!
Variety is the spice of life? Bullshit, give me bland and boring, thank you. I just want to ride my bike, that’s all. Until then, though, here’s another random Egypt picture. Ram-headed sphinxes from the Avenue of the Sphinxes at Karnak Temple near Luxor.

While I have set up a photo gallery that’s connected to chewykolchuk.com, I’ve been told by a number of people, most recently The Mexican, that it is slower than Dom DeLuise after Thanksgiving dinner. Here, see for yourself.
So I went out and spent $25 to have a Flickr Pro login subscription thingie. It’s pretty cool. More importantly, it’s faster than the Pimbaserver and you, the viewer, can download the photos in a number of sizes if you want. Just remember that I know who you are, so if you use the images for illicit purposes, I won’t be happy. Anyway, here’s the link to my Flickr page. I’ll make a permanent link to it somewhere around here. Nonetheless, you might bookmark it for ease of use. Oh yeah, and I bought a new camera just before I went on my trip to Egypt, so the photos are a bit better than the ones I’ve taken in the last 3 or so years.

And when the walls of all those 5000-yr-old temples have thousands of pictures on them, you sort of run out of words. I had no idea that Mom took this picture, but it kinda says it all. I’m still sifting through all the pics that Mom, Nan, Susan, Kathy and I took, and I’ll have to procure permission from everyone before showing them on the web, but as soon as possible, I’ll show you more.
