  • Sky Chair

    Erik hanging out Our last day up north and we spent time exploring the ponds, buildings, gardens and creeks of the area. This is where I sustained most of my damage, which is all healing up quite nicely. Anytime a cut scabs over, or a bruise starts to fade, I remind myself how my body…

  • So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye

    Ouch It’s been three wonderful years, but the leased life of the Land Rover is at an end. Saying goodbye is never easy, especially with such a solid companion for over 50,000 miles. But frankly, I can’t justify the ultra-fine interior with the feeling of unease I have at highway speeds. I can’t justify the…

  • Why am I soft in the middle

    I need a photo-opportunity I want a shot at redemption Damn it. My 38’s are starting to pinch a little bit more than they normally do. Maybe I need to cut out the McGriddles.

  • Europe: Day 9 – My poop is green

    The big event After a day of getting all the shopping done we could, we prepared ourselves for the big event of the weekend. Needless to say, a tangent is appropriate: All the dietary changes, the cheese and air-cured meats, the beer, the wine, the vita-drinks, caught up to my bowels. Not pretty. Which pretty…

  • Europe: Day 7 – Shoppin and ice cream

    The streets of Cologne A lull of a day, planted in the middle of the trip after we’d experienced many sights, sounds and tastes. We took some time to explore the city and wander through shops. Holiday decorations were going up all around and the Christmas Markets were planted in every square. As touristy as…

  • Europe: Day 5 – Museum, Beer, Vittles and More

    Greetings from the Heineken Experience The Stedelijk Museum was first on the agenda, and it rocked. I was a little amused that the Marmot and I would gravitate toward the same pieces of art. And what a fun variety this place contained. So many good things, I’ll leave most of the detals to a gallery…

  • Europe: Day 3 – Spa, Netherbears, Rendezvous, Dinner

    It’s a bit blurry now I still felt “normal” at this point and well adjusted to the time zone. Sleeping in Sunday was natural and good. Pratt, Brian and I decided to hit the Thermos Day Spa and it was disturbing. The mental image of folks peeping the top of their head around a corner…

  • A keeper

    Thanks Brian T-shirts on the brain. Wanna get back on the silkscreen press. Got package from Brian with my sketch wonderfully transfered on to a shirt. This is going in the vault for sure.

  • Fun with the olfactory

    New scents from the Yankee Candle Company After a tasty lunch accompanied by honey butter drizzled over croissants, I forced Mr Dallasbear into the videogame store. Seems like everything I want is always not out yet, and if I would just wait a month or two after the release, I could save tons of money.…
