Spain Pictures – Jerez & Arcos!

/ / More pictures up, and more from Andalucia as we cover Jerez for a horse show and some sherry before moving to the first White Hill Town of Arcos. Check ‘em out.

Spain Pictures – Toledo!

/ / I just put up the pictures of our adventures in Toledo, a small city outside Madrid. Go the Spain pictures page, click on Toledo (either the name or the picture). Again, these are some of the less spectacular pictures of the trip as it was a challenge just to keep six people on [...]

Spain Pictures – Madrid!

/ / I’ve practically blinded myself by staring at pictures for the last couple days but I’m in the process of adding captions and descriptions to each. Go the Spain pictures page, click on Madrid (either the name or the picture) and take a look. To be honest, few of these pictures are spectacular but [...]

The Yooper Mimosa

Last post for the day, promise. But I thought I would be remiss if I didn’t widely publicize the creation of a new drink: the Yooper Mimosa. Exhibit A: Yooper Mimosa ingredients * A “Yooper” is of course the nickname of the people of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, or U.P. If you live in the U.P., [...]

There and Back Again

This weekend’s trip to the Porcupine Mountains on the shores of beautiful Lake Superior was far more “Boy Meets World” rather than “Man vs. Wild,” but a good time was had by all nonetheless. I’ve also posted a full set of pictures: trails, cabins, sunsets, and campfires. Who could ask for anything more? We’d been [...]

The Buckhorn

/ Right, so we spent the weekend canoe camping (sort of) at Buckhorn State Park outside Mauston, WI. It’s really quite a short jaunt from Madison, a little under two hours one way. Clicking on any of the images below will give you a bigger picture. Mapquest totally hosed us on the directions (surprise!) so [...]

Yay Amy!

My lovely wife Amy graduated from her Nurse Practitioner’s program at UW-Madison yesterday. It’s been a three-year slog of classroom, clinicals, and working the daily grind at her day job in the allergy clinic. Now, after completing her summer clinical hours, she’ll be a Nurse Practitioner; if you don’t know what an NP does, maybe [...]

Dogs & Pictures

/ It snowed quite a little yesterday and required two rounds of shoveling. 5″ or 6″ inches I would guess. So I took Athena out while I tooled around on my x-country skis. Here are some (not so great) photos: I realize now I should have been bracketing the pictures to get a better white [...]

The Most Unlucky Frisbee in the World

/ Athena at play. She’s a sweet dog, honest!

Dec. 19-20, 1998

/ Yesterday, it occured to me that we were in Africa about this time eight years ago. I paged through the scrapbook at saw that from December 18th through the 20th we were at the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania and decided to scan these two photos. They brought back a lot of memories. We’d had [...]
