quickies

Fallout from vacation: I fell in luv with my friends satellite radios, so I got one.  Hey, I could have come home with a dog or something. A radio is kind of tame compared to that. I also took a pass at the $100 home docking stereo, went to Walmart and spent $30 on a [...]

I found the pretty!

Wow, I’m a slacker. I’ve been going non-stop since I got back from vacation, and by the time I get to writing at night, it’s been a choice between writing and sleep. Guess which wins? *Warning – This post is picture heavy, it may take a while to load. I know I posted a bit [...]

is sick again. Dammit.

Day 5 on Vacation

Today was extraordinarily beautiful. I drove another 400 miles, and all but the first 50 or so of it was in some sort of foothills or mountains. I have many pics to go through, but there was a lot of time where the camera sat on the seat next to me and I just enjoyed [...]

Vacation day 3

Today I enjoyed a beautiful drive through central Virginia. The sun even came out when I was just south of Charlottesville, which happened to be the most scenic, mountainous, fun driving of the whole journey.  I’ve never been through Lynchberg before.

I changed my mind. A couple of friends don’t want to cave to the twitter gods, so I went public.  I added tweets over there in the rightmost sidebar under the badges —>  I’m not crazy about the looks of the widget but I don’t have time to code today, so, as we say at [...]

Road Trip – T minus 4 days and counting…

I’ve been super busy at work because it’s freakin crazy AND I have next week off. Yes, that’s right, the first vacation in 3 years that doesn’t involve surgery or other major life change. I’m going on a road trip, leaving Monday, to see a few friends and my brother that I haven’t seen in [...]
