Travel Redux

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

Back from my last (latest and final) "trip" to Fort Collins. Since July 16th, I've traveled to Fort Collins on 3 separate occasions, each trip precisely 2 weeks after the previous. With my trip out in April, that makes 4 times this year. I've had a blast each time. I can't ...

Feelin’ Chilly?

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

Saw this delightful sign today at Denver International. Who knew there were flights to the great icy south -- from Denver? Interestingly, this terminal had no passengers-in-waiting, nor a gate agent. One suspects that this is not a very popular route... :-)

Moving Tricks II

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

Buy moving boxes. If you choose to not buy, acquire a collection of identically-sized boxes. If you can, purchase a few varietes of such (ideally you'd get more than 1 of each variety...) for varying storage needs. They stack so much easier! For this trip, I sprung a leak in my wallet ...

Moving Tricks

Moving is extremely hard work. Moving out of state, say, from California to Colorado, is even harder. Take, for example, the logistics of renting a moving truck, finding a cat friendly hotel to stay at a mid-way point, and flying your moving buddy back out to California. Note to self: rent ...

Vacation

Monday, May 14th, 2007

My 5-day respite from work is coming to a close and I'm about to return to my work routine. I'm not sure I'm ready yet. I guess you really can't ever have enough R&R? I would really like to visit these places: The backwoods of Yosemite. Ireland Seattle (again) I think I can do #1 ...

O’ bliss, o’ rapture!

Freshly back from Yosemite. Thanks to Myles for tagging along and help make yet another fine trip a reality. Also, cheers to David for coming down for a fine, if not abbreviated, day of riding around the valley floor. Lyle - would have loved to have ya along. Maybe when you're stateside ...

Trip

I need a break! So, Myles and I are going to go camp in Yosemite for a few days later this week. We're staying in a Housekeeping Camp River Unit and will be biking around the valley floor (and drinking beer and other spirits). Should be fun!

Back from Seattle

Monday, January 29th, 2007

I'm back from Seattle (as of last night). I had a great time. Many thanks to Shane for showing me around the area -- especially Mac and Jacks and The Tap House. That was some damn fine beer and food. I'm also happy to report that my growler made the trip ...

Washington and Beer

"Zantar is a gelatinous cube that eats warriors in a medieval village." Shane lived the dream. He had a mole black and tan. I had a life-defining realization on top of the Space Needle today. It was an amazing revelation; a bit of startling self-discovery. It turns out that I really love ...
