I haven’t been to visit Dan and Megan for a while now and so I decided to check the fares on United from Baltimore to LAX. Over the summer they’d been pretty outrageous. So I checked and round-trip fares are currently $218! I called Dan and asked if I could come out the weekend of…
The Golden Age of life is alwaysfive to ten years behind you. At least, that’s how it seems to me, and I’ll explain what I mean. I don’t remember exactly when it started, but when I was in high school, I can remember thinking fondly of my long lost youth, and casting my mind’s eye…
I’ll be in New York until Monday morning. And at the Yankee game tomorrow!
Thinking about L.A. got me thinking about Aviation Expo at Van Nuys airport. It was one of the things that I loved going to during the summers. I’d heard that it was canceled a few years back, but never found out why. This evening, curiosity got the best of me. I searched online and about…
I caught part of “City of Angels” on one of the HBO channels tonight and it reminded me of living in L.A. I went to my diary and searched around for when I saw that movie, but I don’t think I noted it. It came out in April 1998 but there was no notation in…
I finally got around to getting my Acela tickets for next weekend when, once again, I head up to New York. As I think I’ve mentioned, I’m going to a Yankee game on Saturday with strausmouse and rmstraus. As before, I head up late Friday afternoon, and return mid-morning on Monday. Incidentally, both strausmouse and…
As a followup to an earlier post on the cruise I’ll be taking in 2007, it looks like the vote is in, and we will be doing a Greek Island cruise. Instead of a 7 night cruise, however, it will be a 12 night cruise. The particular cruise we are looking at now has the…
I caught the 10 AM Acela back to DC this morning. It was nice because the train was not too crowded. I sat in the quiet car, as usual, and this time, I was a little annoyed.
I’m about ready to head out of here and over to Union Station to catch the 3 PM Acela to NYC. Jen and Jason now have wireless Internet access in their new place so I will be posting as usual from Manhattan.
So, I’m off to NYC again this weekend to see Jen and Jason. I love their new place so much that I just had to go back up there. I got my Acela tickets this evening. I head up at 3 PM on Friday and head back down to DC at 10 AM on Monday.…
What a difference being in Manhattan makes, then in Astoria, even as a visitor. It was so nice getting up this morning, and walking half a block to the corner to stop for breakfast. We explored the neighborhood a bit and then walked to the very nearby grocery store so that Jen and Jason could…
Requirements meetings are complete and I was able to get to Pittburgh airport earlier than I thought. In fact, instead of having to wait until the 8:30 PM flight on which I was originally scheduled, I was able to get on the 3:55 PM flight into La Guardia, and I made it to jen_ashlock and…
