Mandatory Fun, Part 2

Sunday, November 22nd, 2015

When I last left you, I was traveling through the twists and turns of upstate New York.  I have been reminded that I forgot an element of the Monday trip, so I'll mention that now.  That day was the Canadian national election, and for the first time in recorded history ...

Mandatory Fun Part 1

Sunday, November 1st, 2015

Apparently I had not taken a week or longer vacation in over a year. Plus, my employer has decided to tweak the vacation rules, so I had some vacation time I had to use soon or I would lose. There's really nowhere I wanted to go, but a few things ...

Viva Lost Luggage

Tuesday, August 19th, 2014

Other than two days to go to the Frozen Four in April, I haven't really had a lot of time off.  So it's time to go on vacation...and more importantly for you...another quasi-patented trip report.  The trip this time begins with a trip to TCONA, followed by a driving trip ...

You Will Remember When

Monday, December 2nd, 2013

Last week somebody posted something that many people falsely remember big moments in a major social occurrence, such as where were you when you heard JFK was shot (I was not born, pretty sure on that one).  Well, I thought I would put my recollections up for whomever cares, and ...

A quick viral hit from two weeks ago was a picture of someone faking a scary picture at the Grand Canyon. First off, did it in 2010... Second of all, not the first time I've done it.  This shot from Rocky Mountain National Park in 2003: I await my royalties.

To my AMG Family…

Florida Trip #1

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

In a blast from the past, I am taking a solo road trip, my first I believe since 2004.  The target this time is the one state I really have spent no meaningful time in: Florida.  OK, I haven't really spent meaningful time in either Carolina, but that is addressed ...

Keeping Score

Sunday, February 26th, 2012

Warning...extreme baseball geekery.  You can leave now if you wish. For those in the know, I play a table-top baseball simulation called APBA. I've been playing it since I was 10. Like scoring baseball for real, no two people have the same way of doing it. Here's the scoresheet I use, ...

Take Stock in Your Photography

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

So I am in suburban Philly for work tonight, and I need somewhere to eat.  I'll try the new website uptake.com that has been in beta for a scant five years.  Let's see what they suggest: Hmm...I really wasn't in the mood for Chinese anyway, let's try another place... I like ice ...

Shrinkage

Here's what losing one sixth of your waist looks like:
