Well, we’ve been in York for the past couple days now, and it’s really a wonderful city. Beautiful, ancient, and fun. The York Minster (the big cathedral in the city) is amazing, and you can walk along the medieval city walls around the city. It’s been a lot of fun, and the weather hasn’t been [...]
Been in Edinburgh for the past few days, and met up with my brother and sister-in-law as planned. Been having a good time, though it’s been pretty wet and rainy here (and cold! guess it’s been unseasonably cold the past couple days than it normally would be, figures).
Since I last wrote we’ve been all over. [...]
Been in England now for the past two days, and it’s been wonderful. We got in yesterday at 7:30am UK time (so just before midnight Sunday) and have done quite a bit so far.
The flight to Newark, NJ wasn’t too bad, and while there we got to meet up with our friends Sean and Charmian [...]
We’re just about packed up for our trip to the UK. We get picked up at 5:15am tomorrow (today?) and fly out at 7:30am. Going to be a long day of airplanes and airports. However, Kelly and I are both very excited. Sometime Monday morning (UK time anyway) we’ll be at Stonehenge!
I picked up a [...]
My friend Michael sent me a link to Star Trek Cribs (YouTube.com), a short video that pokes fun at the MTV show Cribs, where celebrities show off their expensive homes. This bit (a stop-motion animation of a Spock doll showing off his ‘crib’) was used as an ad for Star Trek 2.0, the G4TV show. [...]
Went for a walk today, only as far as Wilshire Park, but while I was there I snapped this shot of a squirrel. That park is chock full of ‘em. Anyway, the photo links to a bigger version. Enjoy!
Kelly and I went to the Moon & Sixpence for their Irish folk music Monday again this evening, this time bringing our friends Miranda & Brian (and Brian’s PCT hiking friend Amanda) and Ghost Dog and his ‘missus’ (who had their first visit to the Moon). We had a fantastic time. Always great to combine [...]
This past week has been fairly busy. I’ve been working furiously to finish off all my freelance obligations, while trying to keep up with my yard work and prepare for our upcoming trip (we leave a week from tomorrow!). It’s been nearly a year since we’ve moved in and so far it seems that I [...]
Received some scary news today, from the mailman no less. I was out pulling weeds in the yard when he came to deliver mail and said "so you had some excitement in the neighborhood this morning, eh?" I responded with "oh? what happened?" He said that early this morning some guys broke into a house, [...]
This past Saturday night C-Span aired the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, a fancy gala that included the President himself. The final speaker for the night was Steven Colbert, of the Comedy Central show The Colbert Report.
Mr. Colbert roasts the President, the media, and everyone between. It is quite entertaining to see Colbert standing face [...]
