Duck call!!


Calling all ducks back onto the boat...

Mystery Solved


On a trip to Universal Studios on Tuesday, some of the cousins learned the REAL reason that Jay and Abbzug did not attend the reunion. Apparently they have joined a cult!! Yes, it's true; they were photographed here (by Valencia) - riding on the rollercoaster with their new "family". We are not calling Abbzug a liar; she may indeed be pregnant. It was hard to tell with the robe.

Lone Windsurfer Found!



...and Abbzug is finally spotted among the windsurfers - performing impressive feats (especially given her condition) - look closely at the second picture.

Combing the Beach for Abbzug


The search party hits the beach on a cold day to look for a cousin who they haven't seen in a little while...

Dec. 20th: Cousin Countdown!


Ribhard and I arrived in FL yesterday at 2 p.m. YAY! Last night, Ribhard attempted to take a picture of all of the Allens down at the point, and, in reviewing the photos, I can see the ghost of Lucky rode right through the shot! Look carefully; maybe you can see him too!

Dec. 6th: Cousin Countdown!



The two youngest cousins have not had the "advantage" of growing up with lots of cousins who lived close by. They have had to resort to pets for companionship. Please come share your cousinly wisdom with them this Christmas! ok ok ok, maybe advantage was a strong word....

No thanks


Being a parent of a picky eater, I was pondering the phenomenon of knowing that you don't like something, even without having tasted it. Then again, I had to concede that I, in fact, am certain that I don't like cauliflower, even though I've never tasted it. Similarly - I'm absolutely positive that I don't like anchovies, but again, I've never tried them - so how can I know for sure?

I would however love to try one of these scorpion crumpets ...

Anyone else have similar un-confirmed confirmations?

Have you see this man?


HISTORY

In January 2006 in New York, the patient of a well-known psychiatrist draws the face of a man that has been repeatedly appearing in her dreams. In more than one occasion that man has given her advice on her private life. The woman swears she has never met the man in her life.

That portrait lies forgotten on the psychiatrist's desk for a few days until one day another patient recognizes that face and says that the man has often visited him in his dreams. He also claims he has never seen that man in his waking life.

The psychiatrist decides to send the portrait to some of his colleagues that have patients with recurrent dreams. Within a few months, four patients recognize the man as a frequent presence in their own dreams. All the patients refer to him as THIS MAN.

From January 2006 until today, at least 2000 people have claimed they have seen this man in their dreams, in many cities all over the world: Los Angeles, Berlin, Sao Paulo, Tehran, Beijing, Rome, Barcelona, Stockholm, Paris, New Dehli, Moskow etc.

At the moment there is no ascertained relation or common trait among the people that have dreamed of seeing this man. Moreover, no living man has ever been recognized as resembling the man of the portrait by the people who have seen this man in their dreams.

The aim of this website is:
- to help those who have seen this man in their dreams and to foster communication among them;
- to understand who this man is and why he appears in an apparently pattern-less array of situations in the dreams of such diverse human subjects.
