  • ‘Twas the day after Christmas…

    27 Dec 2008 » 1 min read about Travel

    Today was a relaxing, lazy day.  First off, it was very hot out, well over 80 degrees, and that just made me feel sluggish throughout the day.  I didn’t do much.  Kelly and I did head over to the nearby mall and wandered around in the heat until we couldn’t take it anymore.  And although…

  • Florida, Day 1

    21 Dec 2008 » 1 min read about Travel

    Smooth travel day today.  We headed to the airport at 6 AM.  We’d already checked in and just had to check out bags, head through a short security line, and catch the "mobile lounge" to the D gates.  We stopped at Dunkin’ Donuts for a snack, and got to the gate just in time to…

  • Early Saturday

    Up at 5 am after sleeping for what seemed to be 15 minutes. So far our flight is on time. We should be heading to the airport in 20 minutes or so. It was 12 years ago today that Carl Sagan died. I was in the midst of reading his terrific book, The Demon-Haunted World…

  • Thursday morning

    17 Jul 2008 » 1 min read about Travel

    Up at 6 AM. I noticed that the old TV, DVD player, microwave, and a few other items were removed from the trash pile overnight. None of them work right (and the microwave doesn’t work at all) but maybe whoever took them can fix them and get some use out of them. I forgot to…

  • Hump day

    01 May 2008 » 1 min read about Travel

    Up at 4:20 AM. Since I had Kelly’s car (from the weekend), I drove into work this morning and got there right at 5 AM. I was still tired, but I started working right away, and except for an abbreviated lunch break, I worked straight through. I actually felt pretty good about what I managed…

  • And yet even more food

    28 Apr 2008 » 1 min read about Travel

    We got to sleep in this morning, which was nice. Kelly’s friends picked us up around 10 AM and we drove to a quaint little place for brunch where I tried to wreak havoc on the strawberry pancakes and failed. It was really nice meeting Kelly’s friends and I had a good time at brunch.…

  • Travel day

    22 Apr 2008 » 2 min read about Travel

    Today was a travel day. I was up at 3:45 AM, and the towncar to the airport picked me up at 4:30 AM. Of course, it was raining out, and the driver surprised me by doing 80 MPH on the beltway, even though the roads were wet, something which seemed dangerous given the road conditions.…

  • My first Yankees game of the season

    21 Apr 2008 » 1 min read about Travel

    With how much it rained last night and this morning, I never would have believed that the Yanks and O’s would have played today–but they did. I left for the game just after 11 AM and hit torrential downpours on the way up to Baltimore. But then, as if a faucet was turned, the rain…

  • Busy business trip

    16 Apr 2008 » 1 min read about Travel

    On Monday I head off to Santa Monica for a week, for work. I usually try and pack in as many lunches and dinners with friends and old coworkers as I can while I’m there. This time is no exception. I get into the office in Santa Monica around 10 AM on Monday (assuming everything…

  • Heading up to New York

    04 Apr 2008 » 1 min read about Travel

    17 minutes before I get out of here and I’ve been itching to go for the last 45 minutes. I’m trying to wrap things up here and get out the door at 11:30. I’m heading over to Kelly’s where I’ll meet her just after noon. I’ve got to pack her a sandwich and then when…

  • Home from Disney World

    16 Mar 2008 » 1 min read about Travel

    We are back from Disney World. After Thursday, our days and nights were so packed, there were no time for updates. But never fear. Back-dated updates will be forthcoming in the next 24 hours or so.

  • Disney World, Day 2

    15 Mar 2008 » 6 min read about Travel

    Today was Magic Kingdom day.  We were up at around 7:30 AM and met for breakfast just after 8 AM.  One of the cool things Norm did was get us a 50% discount on all hotel food, so our meals were cheap.  So we ate a cheap, but yummy breakfast and then headed out to…
