Tracing That Line

May 11th, 2010 · No Comments · Entertainment, Travel, What I Did Last Weekend

This weather is why I haven’t switched out my winter clothes for my summer clothes.  In August, in the middle of the hottest part of summer, when I think back and wonder why I was still wearing sweaters in mid-May, I am kind of astonished at the idea.  It’s just hard to fathom, as it [...]

Acrobats and Vacations

February 10th, 2010 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Travel

Last night I went to see the Peking Acrobats show at Jesse Hall with a friend who picked up tickets for cheap.  It was a pretty good time.  I never go to shows at Jesse Hall (in fact, the last time I was there for a show was probably in 1999, when we went to [...]

Home from Branson and Busy Busy

October 20th, 2009 · No Comments · Pointless Updates, Travel, What I Did Last Weekend

It has been a busy week, but then it is always busy getting back to business when you’re out of town, isn’t it?  I feel like I have a stack of things to do, but I am getting through things.  One of the items on the list is posting to all the blogs.  I put [...]

Off to Branson

October 15th, 2009 · No Comments · Mi Familia, Travel

I am looking forward to a fun weekend with my family in Branson, Missouri! We leave tomorrow and we’re staying at some huge vacation rental, and the plan is mostly: go-carts, mini-golf, board games, junk food, football game, outlet mall shopping, and an IMAX movie. With the exception of the IMAX movie, it’s pretty much [...]

Nah, I’m Not Going to Nebraska

September 3rd, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Pointless Updates, Travel

Well, that didn’t take long, did it, that about-face? Somewhere between the making of half-a-dozen lists yesterday and stopping by the library to see if they had Springsteen’s Nebraska album (I mean, what would be better road music for Nebraska than that?), I started to get really unmotivated by the whole experience, and wishing that [...]

Oh, Yeah, I’m Supposed to Go To Nebraska Tomorrow

September 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · Pointless Updates, Travel

All of a sudden, it’s Wednesday, September 2, and I’m supposed to leave for my trip to Nebraska tomorrow night.  Or Friday.  Or whenever I get around to it. I haven’t made any reservations.  I just have a bit of a plan, but nothing to hold it in place except the goal of hitting certain [...]

Thinking Thoughts

July 29th, 2009 · No Comments · Travel

I hate that I’m a planner, but I’m a planner. I realized the other day that if I wanted to take a trip to Colorado in September, I better make a plan.  So I started to look at dates and realized that I really don’t have any extra weekends, with the exception of Labor Day. [...]

Other Updates

June 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Gardening, Travel

I can’t tell whether my earlier entry is just that unreadable, or if it’s my weirdly tired but overslept mindset today. Anyway, last week in the airport, I couldn’t help but notice how many people were walking barefoot through airport security after slipping off their summer shoes, and wonder how many of those same people [...]

Home From Florida, and All the Stuff That’s Broken

June 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Entertainment, Travel

We returned on Sunday afternoon from our Florida vacation, but here it is a few days later and I’m still not recovered.  I often feel this way after a vacation, any vacation, that I should have just stayed home for a few days if I wanted to relax, because with the traveling I usually feel [...]

Summer Planning

May 29th, 2009 · No Comments · Endless Blathering, Travel

With Memorial Day weekend out of the way, it is officially summer.  Last year, I spent so much time editing photos (or feeling guilty about not editing photos) that I missed out on some of my favorite summer activities.  So I started to do a Summer Resolutions list for this year, but then I realized how [...]
