Today was the first day since April that I didn’t use my scooter to get to work as a result of the weather. I did take public transit once - the day I was flying out to Paris. Otherwise, I’ve managed to get to and from work between any showers on all but one day […]
I always associate humidity with heat (and misery). But one thing I’ve noticed since getting the scooter is that it can also mean brrrrrrrrrr!
If it’s humid and in the 60’s, a ride on the scooter in shorts and a t-shirt can be a most unpleasant experience. I suppose it makes sense that a 30 mile […]
I’m home…and I’m glad to be home.
We had a good time in San Francisco this time around. Having lived there before (and having visited 3 other times), I’ve pretty much seen and done most of what there is to do. But I did explore a few places for the first time (Alta Plaza Park in […]
I can’t believe my trip is over half complete and this is my first time blogging. Things have been going great. The weather has been typical San Francisco summer: foggy in the morning, fog breaking around mid-day, fog rolling back in later in the afternoon. Temperatures have been almost the same day and night.
We arrived […]
I’ve finished packing. WOO HOO! After the fiasco last year (where Randy’s luggage didn’t appear for a few days), we’ve gotten smart and now mix our clothes in each other’s luggage so that if one suitcase gets lost we still have clothes to wear.
Poor Randy, though. Since he’s got business to conduct, in addition to […]
Am I? I sometimes wonder. I’ve got a niece and a nephew of my own who I love and support as an uncle should. But by the same token, I like the fact that as an uncle I get to hand them back to their parents at the end of the day. Kids typically are […]
It seems as though I’d just unpacked from our last trip (we returned less than 36 hours ago) and I’m already packing for the next (we leave in just over 48 hours). This time, we’re going to San Francisco. The good thing is that summer weather in San Francisco is fairly predictable: no rain.
The […]
I never really consider myself a yankee. To southerners, I definitely am. But I associate “Yankee” to New York because of their baseball team, and we’re deep in Red Sox country up here, where Yankee is practically a swear word. So, yankee is just not a word I’d use to describe myself. I’m more prone […]
Does it make a sound? Similarly, if a blog is unread, does that mean it hasn’t been posted?
I just noticed that I’ve not had a single comment since June 24th! Where’s the love? You’ve all probably defected and gone to gawker.com or perezhilton.com. Admit it.
But I can be juicy, too.
Ok, maybe not. The […]
No, that’s not a typo. I meant to say “Maid.” You see, our maid (or housecleaner) started yesterday, and we came home to the most spectacular place! It looked amazing…and she was so thorough! She cleaned-out the toater-oven. She WASHED the garbage can in the bathroom. She dusted the blinds (and the tops of the […]
