Typically, I’m the person in the relationship who is constantly planning the next big trip. It seems the past two years have been a never-ending planning processes (often times I’m planning a future trip even before a more imminent trip has taken place).
After all of the travel I’ve done this year, I’m enjoying this lull [...]
The most amazing thing happened on Sunday: the sun came out. And based on the day’s name, it couldn’t have happened on a more appropriate day.
True, there was some sun on Saturday…perhaps from about noon until 3PM, but then the clouds (and storms we’ve had almost daily) came through. We did manage to do a [...]
After scooting to work this morning I turned the scooter off and started to park it. Since it has to lock to a bike rack, and the scooter is too big to fit into the standard bike rack, this often involves some lifting and shifting of the scooter.
Today, in doing so, I managed to break [...]
I’m on Facebook. I’m also on LinkedIn and Friendster (though, now that nobody uses the latter site my profile merely exists and doesn’t get updated).
I love the ability to connect with old friends. I’ve always been this way. I’m reconnecting with many more high school friends via Facebook, and I do love the games (WordTwist, [...]
I woke up this morning in a mood. I can’t really describe it. I’m just enveloped in a world of “blah.”
I suspect it has a lot to do with the weather for the past, well, entire season. It’s a never ending pattern of clouds and rain, clouds and rain. Every trip I’ve taken since spring [...]
The weather this summer has been historically terrible. It seems we’re exceeding every average in the book (except, fortunately, for hottest summer). We’ve exceeded the typical July rainfall, we’ve exceed the typical August rainful and we’ve exceed the typical number of thunderstorms in a given YEAR.
And it doesn’t appear to be ending. I suppose I [...]
Well, it was raining as I headed out to work this morning. I debated whether to take the bus or ride my scooter. The problem is that we’re leaving early to go to Acadia and the bus routes are quite infrequent when it’s not rush hour. Besides, the bus would cost me money and the [...]
Our next adventure starts tomorrow. I’m leaving work early and we’re driving up to Acadia National Park (in Maine). It’ll be a 4.5+ hour drive and we’re staying in a cabin that our friend, Scott, scored for the week. From what I can tell, this place is in the middle of nowhere. The cabin has [...]
Oh yeah, maybe that’s why I’m so tired today. This past weekend was our first weekend in months without either traveling or having overnight guests. We had fun, but perhaps too much fun.
On Friday we had a bunch of people over for dinner and then games (poker). As always seems to happen, the person who [...]
Now that I’m using the streets for my commute (versus taking the train), I’m noticing that there really is some validity to the whole Masshole thing. It’s not a stereotype: it’s a reality. A frustrating reality. I’m going to include a few tips for you all. Some must appear in the Driver’s Ed. handbook, others [...]
