The summit of Mont Tremblant(September, 1998)
The summit of Mont Tremblant, Quebec, Canada. September, 1998. Eleanor's cousin, Richard, told me it would only take one hour to hike to the top. It took three hours. After resting my feet, and enjoying a bottle of beer, we hopped on the ski lift fo…

Bill Kover commented on Bill Kover's blog post '(23) Montreaux and Chateau de Chillon'
So far I am very pleased with this tiny camera. The video quality is excellent. It's not a good idea to say online exactly when we will be in Paris. We don't want to leave our home open for a possible burglary. I sent you a friend request along wit…

Sounds like you have it down to a fine science. I have a little Kodak Easy Share--small but not Elph-size. Sort of like I'm driving a Chevy automatic & you'll be operating an exotic racing car! When will you 2 be going to Paris?

Bill Kover commented on Bill Kover's blog post '(23) Montreaux and Chateau de Chillon'
Eleanor keeps detailed notes while I take photos. My camera records the exact date and time. So I try to take additional photos to record further details, like the menus or a street sign. This year I will be bringing a new camera to go along with my…

Dear Bill, whenever I feel like a little vacation, it's so nice to visit one of your & Eleanor's adventures. I wonder how you record in so much detail. Do you add the comments afterward, or keep notes as you go along. I'd love to do something half a…

Bill Kover replied to Sherry Petry's discussion 'Food to take'
Don't bring any snacks. The following Swiss snacks will occupy your mind the minute you arrive: gipfeln, black forest cake and cornet mit rahm (sugar coated pastry cone filled with REAL whipped cream), all available at the local bakery. You also mig…

Hi Bill and Eleanor,

Isn't this great?

One of the best Idyll ideas in a long time.

I'd be delighted to be your firend, but when I try to click on the incoming message, nothing happens. I'm puzzled and frustrated.

Bill,
The camera is a Canon XTi with a 100-400mm zoom lens. That's my "bird" lens.

Bill, with all this family history you should probably put a Prague/Budapest/Vienna Untour on your list. You now know who to talk to.
It was a great pleasure to meet you in person!

Hi Bill: Go to Edit Your Page Theme. You can experiment with the themes, and choose your own colors.

That's my Grandson, Bill. He graduates from boot
camp next Friday, July 27th, his 18th birthday is
July 28th, and on July 30th he will begin tech school
at both Lackland and Camp Bullis, for several
months. The Guard wants him to get a college
degree, so he will probably start in the Jan. 2008
semester. What is truly interesting about my
grandson, Jon, is that my son and his wife just
adopted him 1 1/2 years ago when he was 16! He
had been in foster homes since the age of 5, so this
is truly a mission of love for them. He is very smart, a real computer whiz.

My son, Jim, flies a challenger jet for FlexJet, a
time-share company, so he is gone a lot and my
daughter-in-law has almost the full load and
stress of suddenly raising a 16-year-old!

Bill,
The umbrella is a gift from the Times to new subscribers. It was a timely regifting from a friend who subscribed.
