Surfer Bob likes to escape the summer heat. This August he found himself in St Petersburg and Norway among other places. In Russia he toured many palaces. He really wanted to sit on Catherine the Great's throne. His tour guide, Irena, took a shine to Bob and tried to help with his request but this is a close as he got. In the galleries of the Hermitage, Surfer Bob was overwhelmed by the collection and the size of this Matisse.
The fjords and waterfalls and glaciers were pure eye candy and the cool weather was nice too. He couldn't resist getting his picture made in front of a glacier while friends back home were wilting in 107* heat.
Since it is still hot in Texas, Bone Marrow Bob jetted off to Stanford for a delivery. Ah Stanford, that bastion of brainiacs, the nucleus of West coast stem cell research, a cutting edge cancer center, and BMB was in the thick of it. Stanford is a beautiful campus with a most amazing chapel. Leland spared no expense on the construction. BMB marveled at the hallowed halls of higher learning and made a few friends along the way.
