In the Middle of the Holidays at the End of 2011

December 29th, 2011 · No Comments · Holidays, In Summary, Travel

Continued holidays!  So many holidays! This is my third and last day of work this week, and I am off again soon for another long weekend.  I didn’t start padding my holidays with long weekends until last year, maybe, or the year before.  I used to just work every day if I didn’t otherwise have [...]

Thanksgiving Week

November 22nd, 2011 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Holidays, Travel

Hooray, Thanksgiving week! I am trying to get myself into the mode of getting Christmas things done, because I have done little to nothing in preparation of presents and cards and all of it, and there are things to do.  I think I have the idea of the cards sorted this year.  Instead of making [...]

Some New Pictures from Yellowstone

November 15th, 2011 · No Comments · Photography, Travel

I finally spent some time this past weekend working on photos from, yeah, Yellowstone.  Yes, they’re 18 months old, or nearly that.  I know!  But though the trip is long past now, it still gives me pleasure to work on the images, when I get around to it.

The Trip to New Orleans

July 1st, 2011 · No Comments · Travel, What I Did Last Weekend

Friday morning!  Late Friday morning, on its way to Friday afternoon before a three-day weekend!  It doesn’t get much more Friday afternoon-y than that. It’s been a long two-week stretch since I had a weekend free because I traveled over last weekend for the library conference in New Orleans.  It’s a full two days of [...]

Geeky Freak-Out

June 15th, 2011 · No Comments · Television, Travel

Speaking of Treme…. which I was, if you look at the end of the last post.  Isn’t it weird that blogs are posted in reverse chronological order?  In my first blog, I posted everything in chronological order with a link at the top of each post (all of it was hand-coded, so I would move [...]

Back from an Epic Trip West

September 9th, 2010 · No Comments · Travel, What I Did Last Weekend

I am in a weird place today, somewhere between exhausted and insanely productive.  I guess it’s the fact that it’s a short week at work (just today and tomorrow) after a long weekend with extensive travel, involving time changes. I don’t have to recap much, since all my tweets from Twitter are on here.  Suffices [...]

Last Week Was Crazypants; This Week, More Traveling

August 31st, 2010 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Travel, What I Did Last Weekend

In case you have been sitting in anticipation of a follow-up to my last post, I did not end up buying any shoes or boots.  I am sorry if I caused you any sleepless nights. I guest blogged over at CoMO Whine and Dine today. I have been reading that blog for awhile. Long ago, [...]

In DC

July 7th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Travel, Uncategorized

Context! I finished my trip reports from the trip Out West yesterday and cleaned up the formatting this morning, but I still owe you this, a description of my trip to DC over the weekend.  Maybe you don’t care.  I don’t care if you don’t care.  I write these so that I can remember later [...]
