As part of my trip to Germany, I swore I was going to get some Lederhosen – turns out, I lied – after the conversion from Euro to Dollar this outfit would have been $1,000. I may be ridiculous about buying clothing – but not that daft. Gerd was very cool and called around until [...]
A few shots of the Bavarian region of Germany/Austria.
So I’m headed “home” for the weekend. Fayetteville, NC – a city built on the economy of the military. A city that has problems managing any tax payer revenue. A city where a lot of my family lives. A city with no industry. I could go on and on but the reality of the situation [...]
It’s that time of year again – it’s hot, it’s nasty, it’s humid. It’s nearly July in the South… you can get sweaty just by thinking about being outside. It’s quite vile. So I’m going to try to get out of the South for a little over a week this year – and stretching it [...]
I was in Asheville, NC a few weekends back. A nice bit of R&R was in order. The plan was to do a little shopping, hit the French Broad river, do a little driving tour of the Blue Ridge mountains, and hop over to the Biltmore Estate to look at how dead rich people used [...]
Happy Birthday to … ME! Just wanted to pop in with a quick update. I’ve got blogs in the works from my North Carolina trip (sitting on the roof in the rain, recounting the Watutsi / Ut Wesis story, etc…) and should have some good stuff from the current leg of my trip. I’m currently [...]
It looks like my whole vacation has finally hit fifth gear. With plans being shuffled as they are it looks like I’m set for departure at (gag) 6:00am EST to head back to the place I spent my formative years. I’m glad Leo does well in the truck, lest that be a terrible 6 hour [...]
It’s amazing what a little good news and some time off work can do for a person. Looks like our very own JediJonR will be wedding SuperMelCA sometime over the summer. A warm and heartfelt congratulations to Jon and Melissa. After he and I talked and played some Xbox (We’re going through Gears of War [...]
I won’t be online until Sunday night, Nov 29th. I’m headed to Louisiana for a few days. It’s one part favor, one part much needed down time. As selfish as it may sound I simply am not up for a family holiday this year. Christmas comes and I’ll do what’s right by everyone else but [...]
I am Jack’s spastic digestive track. Yes, lets just say that lunch highlights this day. I’ll get to that in a minute. Today is the first day of work here so it’s off to learn a new MTR (subway/underground) route. We head to the Kwai Fong station and march in 87 degrees and 14,000% humidity [...]
