I forgot about my Vacation Curse(tm). Thus, I have killed Don Herbert, better known as Mr. Wizard. How very sad. He taught me things like how records work, mirror tricks, and ice facts.

photos, beachy style
Just FYI, you can see my ongoing beach pictures here on my Flickr page. A good beach trip isn’t complete without digital camera, laptop, and wireless internet.
beachy
Next week we’ll be heading down to the beach with Ken and Lisa. It couldn’t be coming at a better time. We will still have da internets down there so I’ll post one of my zillions of pictures every now and again for y’all. This time next week, I’ll be relaxing on the beach. But […]
this is my island in the sun
It’s 33 degrees in Chelsea, Alabama. In Chicago, Illinois — where I am — it’s 36 degrees. What the hell? I came up here for some good ol’ Northern Winter Fun Time and it’s warmer here than it is at my house!

A conversation from nine days ago: Steven: “Hey, I’ve got some good news.” Me: “Cool, what’s that?” Steven: “I found out how many vacation days I’ve got left. “[pauses for effect] “Nine.” Me: ” *explecitive* ” Steven: “And I need to use them up by the end of the […]
Lost Vegas
You would think I have never flown before. I am standing just inside Atlanta’s Hartsfield Airport without a clue as to what to do first, and feeling a bit flustered. It didn’t help that I was delayed coming into Atlanta because the road planners thought it’d be a good idea to narrow three lanes down […]
leaving on a jet plane
Okay, I’m off to my Vegas conference this afternoon. I don’t like planes. If I survive the plane trip, I’ll make sure to take many phone pictures that I can beam up here if there’s reception out there. But first, I have to survive the plane trip. Until I get back — one way or […]
I’m just plane crazy
I can’t recall if I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m going to be getting on a plane in two weeks, two days plus an assorted number of hours. Not that it’s been on my mind or anything. I’m headed to Las Vegas, Nevada on a nifty business conference trip. This will be very interesting because […]
a boat, a city, and some coffee
Two and a half years ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to take a vacation on a cruise ship with Steven and his family, courtesy his grandparents and their 50th anniversary celebration plans. Our ship, docked in New Orleans, floated us down the Mississippi and out into the Gulf of Mexico, headed for Cancun and […]
St. George Island, Florida: A Photo Summary
I am always incredibly amazed at how fast wonderful days skim by, and last week was no exception. In fact, the only slow part of last week was the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday before we all headed down to sunny Florida. Steven and I amused ourselves with repeated trips to Wal-Mart. I believe we set […]
