  • Muir Woods

    Needles San Francisco was dense with goodness. Looped up through Muir Woods on the way out. Man those trees got perspective. Can’t type more, headed to Phoenix.

  • vacation has begun

    watermelon margaritas being served Arrived in California after a long jaunt through Indy and Denver. Greeted with hugs, wagging tails, and good spirits (like the ones pictured above) in Grass Valley. I should now mention I’m the worst vacation planner ever, keeping things by the seat of the pants. A few loose ends workwise I…

  • 2 nights only

    Sunset on Lake Michigan My workmates took their family up to Saugatuck for a much needed vacation. They asked if Dan and I would like to steal away for a few days last minute and we said heck yeah. Aside from being a neat word, Saugatuck is a fine destination. We didn’t spend too much…

  • our only souvenir

    a bowl filled with sand, shells and drink umbrella Flew back into Indy and made the drive home on Thursday. It’s cheaper to fly out of airports that are not in southern Ohio for some reason. I’m not sure when airlines decided that sitting on the runway makes us a captive audience for credit card…

    view of the St. Patrick’s Day sunset from the seat of a plane headed to Florida Posting will be sparse these next few days.

  • Miss Liberty

    A quick update Having an excellent time in NYC. No time to write. But I’ve thrown up a slew of photos on Flickr for the moment. A few fuzzy (video) clips of Rufus.

  • NYC: The June Oh Six Trip

    Heading to the N train Arrived safely in NYC yesterday with nary a hiccup in the transfer from car to plane to bus to train. A place to crash in Hell’s Kitchen up 6 flights of steps provided introduction to a most wonderful host. Tonight, Rufus, recreating the 1961 Judy Garland performance at Carnegie Hall.…

  • recap

    Cramming the days together It’s almost the weekend again and I’ve not caught up from the last one. Some extra photos from St. Louis In other news: Work continues to be a combination of tending to existing projects and finding time to work on the big to-do list of new things. Having the TV without…

  • rodeo

    fun for all ages I drove back from St. Louis yesterday, just in time to miss Gomez at WOXY. Which was sad, but not as sad as the machine-gun-like attack of sneezing and congestion that came on during the drive. Allergies? Perhaps. The rodeo, St. Louis, was great. Good times all around with a weekend…
