btw are you and jkn relatives both your nicknames start with "jk" |
I have a hyphenated last name... When we got married we both took each others name (my original last name was Northrup). Full name:
John R. Koch-Northrup
In our case - Koch is pronounced Cook.
I shortened my initials to just "jkn" since "jrkn" is somewhat welcoming a few jokes...
Hyphenating has causes a number of annoying issues (income tax, drivers license, social security, etc...) over the years. My wife wishes we had never done it - however, I love my name the way it is now. |

if your children also marry someone with an hyphenated last name, like smith-jones...
they will become mr and mrs. Koch-Northrup-Smith-Jones ....that could get interesting _________________ Spiral Recordings |

The city looks pretty much like it must have looked 4 or 5 hundred years ago. Is there a modern city surrounding it? Do you live in the old part of town, Carlo? _________________ --Howard

Hmm.. isnt´t there actually at least one semifamous painting from like at least 350 years back, done from the same spot you took this pix? _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

I guess you are right but 500 years ago there were neither cars nor thousands of tourists flooding the city, day in day out. The medieval town is very small and, of course, it is surrounded by more recent neighborhoods. I don't live "downtown" (it's more expensive than Beverly Hills!) _________________ homepage - blog - forum - youtube

I don't know about that but I am quite sure that one is one of the most "pictoresque" spots in town (I was surrounded by Japanese tourists) _________________ homepage - blog - forum - youtube

The eggs. I guess after a long day they looked so perfect in the pot. It's just the two of us living here, me and my wife Juli. We eat a lot of meat, cheese and eggs because we are both on low carb diets. We make big batches of hard boiled eggs because they keep pretty well.
I take lots of picture of greasy dish water but Juli doesn't like me to post them. _________________ --Howard

Hey I just saw this thread! My apt! Lime kilns and the 'Stairs to Nowhere'. My work crew and I eat lunch down there every day in summer, then play frisbee. Not a bad noon break! _________________ "Pop music is for sheep and we are wolves disguised as shepherds." |

Hey, I was waiting for some reaction from you about that. Amazing that we would live so close together and meet here on this web site. _________________ --Howard

Carlo, you horrible man! You show us Norwegians this as we're slowly dragged into another Arctic winter. Do you expect us to be happy up here after knowing that other people have beauty and warm, fairly clement weather? _________________ Where there are too many policemen, there is no liberty.

Nice view, though. Are there any cafés on that bridge? _________________ Where there are too many policemen, there is no liberty. Where there are too many soldiers, there is no peace. Where there are too many lawyers, there is no justice.

no, only jewelers that bridge was the only one, crossing the Arno River in Florence, left intact during WWII Both Allies and Nazis had pity on it. The many other ones were all bombed _________________ homepage - blog - forum - youtube

above the stores you can see a "corridor": it's the Vasari Corridor
on that page there is an error: It was NOT commissioned from Giorgio Vasari, It was commissioned TO Giorgio Vasari.
