"Ok, everybody just take ONE more step back." This is me (center) in Canyonlands National Park with my two good buddies Will Johns (left) and Luca Cinquini (right).

"I didn't know there were any flies at twelve and a thousand feet" A shot of Luca and myself atop a pass in the Marroon Bells Wilderness area. Four days of hiking makes anyone look terrible. Really.

"But I thought the pool was supposed to be across the street." After record rains near Chicago, my friend Harry Cheung needed alternative transportation to reach his apartment.

"When do we get paid our 33 cents per hour?" After the record flooding knocked out the AC at Fermilab, the temperature indoors quickly rose to over 90 degrees. A new kind of sweatshop.

"Dude, this place is like, so cool!" My often-times backpacking partner, Kerstin Kirchenbaum, with a nice Canyonlands backdrop.

"Hello there!" Anna Saunders, one of my Argonne friends in a typical pose.

"Man, don't take a picture of me now!" My college roommate, Paul Steinbreuk, reclining and enjoying a cold one.

DISCLAIMER: These next pictures are from the "Pepe Pretty in Pink Party" a going away party for a friend of mine on the experiment. I deny all responibility for any activities alleged to have occured that evening.

"And then I said..." Believe it or not, this is actually my boss, John Cumalat. He doesn't normally smoke stogies, but you can see he's also engaging in one of his other favorite activities.

"And I swear, its this BIG!" One of my co-workers, Brian O'Reilly just acting natural. Honest.

"Isso ta' Foda! He's just a little bit SPECIAL" Obviously at this point everyone has had just a bit too much to drink. This is (from left to right) me, Silvano Sala, Iuri Pepe, and Luigi Moroni.
