Housekeeping

We just hooked up with Mindspring. You can reach the two of us at loslevys@mindspring.com, and hit our homepage at loslevys.home.mindspring.com.

Back to Reno

The big news, of course, is that we’re leaving. We fly to San Francisco July 3. Marcel starts work at Reno Type August 3, and Rachael will continue to freelance. We haven’t hooked up with a service provider stateside yet, but rest assured that we’ll have the new addresses posted ASAP.

Amsterdam has been every bit as lovely a town as we thought it would and/or remembered it was. It’s a shame our stay was shorter than we imagined, but then nothing turns out exactly the way you expect. Along those same lines, Rachael’s due date has been moved back a notch. We’re expecting the baby September 4.

Alien baby

Thumbnail of Chaja’s baby pictureOur first baby picture. That’s no “Alien” prop you’re looking at, but a sonar-rific image of our pride and joy. Admittedly, the spine is the clearest part of the picture, but that’s some spine, eh? We’re so proud.

Click on the image to see a slightly larger version, with all the serious-looking medical data included as a bonus. The scan was done March 2, and the technician calculated Rachael to be 14 weeks and two days along. That puts the due date at August 29.

There really isn’t much else new, or at least nothing that can top the whole sonar-baby thing. So tell us something new.

Amsterdam

It’s been almost a year since we last updated this page, which gives you some idea of how busy we’ve been. News item number one, of course, is that we moved to Amsterdam in September 1997. To answer your first question, no, we are not stoned right now. But thanks for asking.

Marcel is working with the highly capable crew at Tribute MultiMedia, and Rachael is learning Dutch and freelancing. We are both freezing.

On a technical note, Marcel redesigned our site using the latest stylesheet specifications, so these pages should remain readable no matter what browser you’re using. Or so we’ve been told. If the pages don’t look great, just remember that it’s more important that you feel good about yourself. Well, do you?

Houston

I just got back from Houston, where I had a chance to run into my old friend Lauren. She, Bryan and I had some great Texas BBQ. Oh, and there was some job-related conference, too. Rachael did a great piece on Hawthorne, Nev. and its struggle with federal contractors. You should read it.
