The Long Short Month
Here it is, February 1 already, the cusp of the shortest month of the year. Of course, 2012 being a leap year, it’s a day longer, but I think February will seem inordinately long not because it’s 29 days, but because of what’s going on.
Arizona Dreaming
For Christmas this year, we decided to spend it in the skies over Eloy, Arizona. It was the perfect 4-day getaway (with the only problem being that it was far too short!). We flew down to Phoenix on Friday night, picked up our rental car, stopped to get some groceries, and made our way to … Continue reading
Light and Shadow
Driving home from my Spanish class on Tuesday night (around 9:30) , I noticed an interesting light pattern in the sky. The clouds were low and heavy and there was a lot of city light reflecting off of them so that the clouds had a bit of a surreal glow to them.
Lost and Found
Today was an interesting day of travel challenges (minor, in the grand scheme of things, but it gave me something to blog about). At the Burbank office today, I joined my coworker for lunch, and we sat outside the cafeteria enjoying the unusually warm fall day (I’m talking high 90s, unusual for this time of … Continue reading
How do you describe the trip of a lifetime?
As I sat in the Las Vegas airport yesterday waiting for my flight back to Oakland, I called Sean to catch him up on my 9 days in the Grand Canyon. As I said to him (and I’ll say here now) I don’t even know where to begin. I do know that I want to … Continue reading
Preview: Grand Canyon Photos
Much more to come, but link to photos will have to do for now.
Mobile Blogging from the Grand Canyon
So here I sit in a cabin built early in the last century, taking advantage of technology of early in this one. 3G @ the Grand Canyon!! Of course, as soon as I use the phone as my alarm clock tomorrow, off it goes for 9 days. Got to Vegas last night; joined a tour … Continue reading
Somewhere Over the Prairie
Ah, my beloved Lost Prairie – how wonderful it was to be there for (almost) the full boogie this year. Sean was a trooper and did ALL the driving, so I got to experience the joys of the RV without having to do much of the work. He left late Wednesday and got a few … Continue reading
Feelin’ Fine, Prairie Prep, Paleo Guests
As we’re in the homestretch before Lost Prairie, I’ve spent some time recently making sure I have enough clothes to make it through 10 days of Montana weather – hot in the daytime; chilly at night. It meant digging through my entire closet to see what fits these days, and hitting Target and Macy’s for … Continue reading
Back in Love Again
After this past weekend, I have this song stuck in my head. I do believe I’ve fallen “back in love” with skydiving. Oh, I never really fell totally out of love, but after coming back from my injury, I can’t say we were in that mad, passionate relationship state that we were in last fall … Continue reading
