Kinsky Family (and outlaws)-
Allow me to shamelessly self-promote a new show I've been working on this past summer called 'Prototype This' for Discovery Networks. It airs tonight, October 15th, at 10PM Eastern and Pacific. Aunt Judy in Chicago and Uncle Steve in Denver, check your local listings.
http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/prototype-this/prototype-this.html
It's very nerdy and fun, and it airs right after Mythbusters (Beyond Productions in Sydney produces that show as well as Prototype This- yes, I field many calls from Australia every afternoon here in Los Angeles). It's also broadcast on both the regular Discovery channel as well as the High Def Discovery, so for the Kinskys with HDTVs, it'll look even cooler. This first episode that airs tonight is one I didn't cut (I did episode two through nine I think), but it's a fun one nonetheless.
Here's a clip on Youtube!

Announcing....IVY LYNN KINSKY!
Howdy Kinskys!! Congrats to Kevin and Megan! (And Steve and Gail, who will undoubtedly spoil Ivy senselessly). A new tiny Kinsky has come to be! Ivy Lynn Kinsky was born Tuesday the 15th, and details are to follow...or Nat will put them in the comments section.

Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure
Julie and I are going to participate in the Race for the Cure on September 7th in Boston. We're running on behalf of our cousin Meg. The run can be lots of fun! Anyone want to join us??

An Evening with Suzanne!
Yet another Kinsky Kousin has visited the City of Angels! Suzanne's work travels took her from Washington to Rochester, from Rochester to San Francisco, all the way down to sunny Los Angeles. Did she bask in the 80ยบ weather and endless sunshine?
Not so much- so it goes when it's a business trip I'm afraid. She did however work out one morning next to Neil Patrick Harris, and more importantly, decided to give dear cousin Jon (dat's me!) a ring for Friday night dinner. She was in for one night only, and our evening began and ended at the Blu Jam Cafe on Melrose. Suz ate a lovely grilled salmon she claims will be 'talked about for years' and helped polish off a nice bottle of Shiraz.
A good time was had by all, and the night ended with all of us watching Project Runway and playing with the cats. My mom is now rolling her eye I'm sure...she's not a cat person.

Why did the chicken cross the road?
DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.
OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.
COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road...
ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will remain against it.
NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.
PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me any insider information.
DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.
JERRY FALWELL:
Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth?' That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly harmless phrases like 'the other side. That chicken should not be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.
GRANDPA:
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.
JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.
ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra...#@&&^(C% ........ reboot.
ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?
AL GORE:
I invented the chicken!
COLONEL SANDERS:
Did I miss one?
DICK CHENEY :
Where's my gun?
AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens

Hello from Minnesota
I will post some fun stuff soon, just took a minute to make sure I could log in.
Thanks Jon, for setting this up, I am looking forward to getting caught up with all things Kinsky!

Comments vs. New posts
There are 2 ways to post to this blog...You can either post a new subject for discussion ( new post like this one ) or click the 'comments' below a post to reply to a subject already posted. Using the 'comments' will keep the main screen a little cleaner as well as cause less confusion when you are replying to a post made say a month earlier.
Also...When viewing the blog, be sure to watch for new 'comments'( there is a counter next to the comments with how many replies have been made ) for your reading pleasure
Example..You will find Jon 'showing off' in his original post when replying to one of our potential lost cousins in Austria. He replied in what appears to be German but maybe Nat can translate for us as he is the 'smart Kinsky'....

From the eldest Kinsky - that is Joan
Here is my mother's email about the photo.....it may take her a while to figure out the "blog thing"
I think the Kinsky web site is very good-----good for Jon to set it up. However would someone please tell me how to send comments----do we need an account? To answer your question Jimmy-----left to right in the family picture----by the way that picture was taken for either the D@C or Catholic Courier----John holding Steve, Judy, Bob (standing) Mother holding Mike, Paula Ted, Mary Ann, Dad, Dave, me. Dick was in Toronto. Boy----that was a long time ago.

Cousin Nat!
No autographs!
That's right kids-
The 'smart Kinsky' hath paid me a visit here in Los Angeles! After a good couple hours catching up, cousin Nat et al sampled fine Southern Italian wine and cuisine down the street. There was much merriment!
Kudos to Jon!
Jon...Nice job !!!! Great way to run this without you having to constantly update.
I will start adding stuff soon...
To all...Let me know if you need anything scanned or videos converted. I will handle this from the Rochester end of the world...Or if you can't find someone to do it from outside Rochester, you could mail the hardcopy pcitures and I will scan and return.

Welcome to the Kinsky Family Website
So last May at Uncle Dick's funeral, a few of us decided to put together a nice but simple site so the whole family could keep in touch. I chose to take up the task and the site is now ready.
I chose this blog-style site for two reasons:
1) It's incredibly easy to maintain and anyone can essentially post on it.
2) I'm very lazy.
So post away- I'm still figuring out ways to make accounts for all of us, or maybe just make one or two master accounts that anyone can use to simply log in and put in a post. This is a very user-friendly setup (it's made by Google) and anyone can essentially post pictures, videos (note the Youtube bar!!) or just give a quick hello.
I urge anyone in the family, including the inlaws, the outlaws and the spouses to contribute any time you feel like sharing some news with the family. If anyone needs any assistance, please contact me at jonjoefischer@mac.com.
All the best,
Jon Fischer
