Have Baby Will Travel Abroad, and Last Men Standing

11/10/2009 – 10:35 am

/
Call us nutty but we booked it—a trip to Europe with the wee one. Grey will be just over one year old when we head off to Switzerland to visit his Uncle Todd and Aunt Pee Wee with a stopover in London on the way home to see my high school bud Aaron. [...]

Reporting from Savannah

10/4/2009 – 4:29 pm

Whew! This is one of the driest runs in this blog’s history but we’ve been busy. Amy flew out to Savannah last Wednesday morn for a conference and I joined her Thursday afternoon. She brought Grey down and, happily, he was a perfect gentleman the entire journey. And bonus points for TSA for requiring Grey, [...]

Have Baby Will Travel and I Resemble Those Statistics

9/25/2009 – 11:01 am

We’re hitting the road next week for a conference in Savannah, GA and bringing el bebe with us. Happily we’ll have adjoining rooms with the g’parents, so hopefully me and my folks can contain the little guy while Amy attends her conference. Amy flies down with Grey without me, so keep your fingers crossed for [...]

Off for the Weekend

9/4/2009 – 9:26 am

We’re heading to Chicago for the weekend to celebrate our friends Jenny and Steven’s nuptials. We’re bringing el bebe. Wish us luck. We’re excited to be going to Chicago. I can’t remember how long it has been since I’ve been there. The AWP Conference back in February, maybe? As always, the hardest part is trying [...]

GTA 4, Productivity 0

1/14/2009 – 3:35 pm

Vacation is zipping past but I’m making the most of it… or maybe the least of it would be more accurate. I’d planned to use this time to get ahead on reading and to do some writing, which is still the plan, but I’ve found the most miraculous thing: Grand Theft Auto 4’s online multiplayer [...]

Year-End Review

12/31/2008 – 11:55 am

It’s the last day of 2008 and, overall, I can’t say that it was a fabulous year.

The highlights of the year were undoubtedly our trips to Spain (here) and Costa Rica (pictures forthcoming). We hadn’t planned for two international trips in one year, but our Costa Rica trip got pushed back a year due to [...]

Tedious Times and Great Reads

7/9/2008 – 8:41 am

This annual, painful break in the footie season (affectionately known as “summer”) really gets on my nerves because there’s very little to report, except transfer rumors. Some of which are true, many of which are not. John has already lamented the same thing but I’m getting really bored with “Ronaldo to Man Ure no he’s [...]

Spain Pictures – Pyrenees!

6/12/2008 – 12:01 pm

/ /
Mountains! Waterfalls! More mountains! And mountains! That’s right, it’s la página última de fotografías, the last page of pictures as our Iberian adventure ends with a trip to the Pyrenees.
No more pictures after this, and believe me, I’m just as relieved as you are. Look and comment if it pleases you.
