Geo-Tagged

I came across a cool function on flickr.com, the Yahoo-run photo hosting site. It's called geo-tagging. Users upload their pictures and then tag them with the spot the photo was taken. Rather cool! Here's the Hollis geo-tagged page.

From Baseball Fan to Baseball Entrepeneur

Ryan Coulter has sent a message in:

"I have turned my love and passion for baseball into a business. In January of 2007 I opened Extra Innings training facility in Nashua. You can find more info at www.extrainnings-nashua.com This will also be my 9th year as the varsity baseball coach at HBHS. Alumni can keep up to date with the cavs at www.eteamz.com/hollisbrookline Hope all is well."

Go Ryan!! So cool to hear that you found a way to merge your business life with your personal one! Keep us updated if you have any special events going on.

Has anyone else managed to turn their passion into a career? Let me know!

Update from Adrienne

Adrienne (Gross) Babcock sends greetings and a photo:

"Well, it appears that Jim found me on the Babies R Us site. How’s that for the power of the Internet?? I am due around April 19th with a little girl. We are very, very excited as are her two older brothers, Shaun and Dylan (ages 7 and 5).

I am still working from home as an AVP for Countrywide Home Loans. I design statement layouts and write/edit borrower communications. Telecommuting is the best! Great schedule flexibility to make it to events for the little guys.

It looks like I will get to see Clancey in April when she comes out to visit family – I will try to send pictures. So many things too look forward to this spring!

Attached is the most recent 3-D ultrasound pic I have of our little one at about 30 weeks…technology is such a cool thing."



Thanks for the update Adrienne--and congrats to you on your new joy!!

Vintage Pictures

So, I've been in the process of digitizing all my old 35mm film. (I brought it to Target and they'll scan the negatives and give you a disk.) In short, this has brought back some great, and funny, memories. I've added some of the shots to the Yahoo Groups photo area. If you have any more you'd like to add, please do!! (Don't fret--only group members can view the photos.)
One warning: damn, we were really 80's!

New Look

Blogger has recently made it much easier to update the style of one's blog, so I decided to clean this up a bit. I hope you like it better!
If anyone has links or news, send it on through: gailanders@gmail.com!

All About Me

I thought I'd put a (sort-of) recent photo of me and my significant other, Mike. It seemed like we hadn't had enough new pictures on the blog. This one is from a visit last October to the nearby Sunken Gardens in St. Pete, FL. Maybe all of you in the cold will now want to come visit Sunny Florida!!

MySpace Strikes Again!

The linkage of MySpace has brought our former classmate Kristie Courtemanche (now Cardullo) to our pages. Here's an update:
"I am a Property Manager in Nashua for Deb Gregg's dad. Small world huh? I have been married since 09/29/00 and we own a home in Nashua. I attended USM in Portland Maine and lived up there for a bit. I was bored and away from my family so I moved to Mass. for a bit and then back to NH. I have been here ever since. I see Chris Carney, Nate Neveu and Forrest from time to time. I just ran into Butch Valley and his newborn baby last night at Target. How is that for a small world?...I will get back to you with pics."
It is great to hear from you Kristie! We hope you do send some pix. Interestingly, Kristie is one of the most asked about people. For some reason, it seems like so many people ask me, "Gail, have you heard from Kristie?" Now I can say YES!
