So Cal is where my mind be...
So we had delayed our planned vacation this month since we couldn't decide on a destination... Sunday, we made the decision to head to San Diego. We hope to spend 4 days there, and hit everything we can. It will be the first big trip with Eva, so we'll Read More...
Euro Tour 2006 - Day 5
Day 5 Time to head home! Flight leaves at 10:55 local back to Amsterdam. Nothing to note on this flight... A little layover in Amsterdam allowed me to get the Pig-in-the-blanket that I had eyed on the way out. I did some calculation to determine that Read More...
Euro Tour 2006 - Day 4
Day 4 More business this day... After business we drove back to Vienna, and checked back into the Le Meridien for the last night. We headed back downtown to do some shopping (had to bring Nina & Eva something from Austria), and some supper. I decided Read More...
Euro Tour 2006 - Day 3
Day 3 Day 3 was business, so we started early with breakfast at the hotel, and were taken by car to Horna Streda, Slovakia. The drive was nice, although mostly country-side. Slovakia apparently has some really cool castles, and wonderful looking little Read More...
Euro Tour 2006 - Day 2
Arrival in Amsterdam was kinda rough, as it appeared as though the pilot had expected the ground to lower a couple feet before we landed (it didn't). A short layover here in Amsterdam. The flight to Vienna left at 02:00. I felt somewhat at home (you must Read More...
Euro Tour 2006 - Day 1
Last week I had an opportunity to visit Austria & Slovakia on business. Of course business trips are always quite brief, and by definition about business. Although I had little chance to see any of the sights, I came away with a desire to return someday Read More...
Creation Day
I haven't had an opportunity to blog lately, so I have a list of things I need to say, but I will keep this one simple. Today is what I will call the first annual Creation Day, and I must say that I am slightly dissapointed with the response so far. I Read More...
Back Online
If you are one of the two people that visit my site every week, you may have noticed it was non-functional since Wednesday. I haven't really figured out why yet, but it is back, and hopefully for good. Now you have 3 whole posts to look through!!! Read More...
Environmentalism... Article
I came across this essay/speech last week, and felt I had to pass it on. Environmentalism as Religion Alright, you gotta read that one, but in general, I have had lots of these impressions previously, but never had the information to back it up. The article Read More...
What I want for my birthday
I have another post in the works for tonight, but caught this T-shirt at some T-shirt site, and thought I had to have one. For the lucky few that don't get it, this is the NASCAR logo. I can't remember the site, but if you also need one, I could look Read More...
Positively Blogging
I am starting to read some of my own posts, and wonder if I am as negative as I sound? I think blogging tends to bring out the whiner in most people, and I admit I am fairly cynical in the real world, so it can't be too far off. Anyways, I am going to Read More...
