At last, the long-promised full accounting of my recent road trip.  Two caveats/warnings ( Read more... )

Pictures from my recent road trip are online.  I haven't captioned them yet, so a lot of them lack context, but I did write summaries for all the sub-albums and stuff, so feel free to surf on over there if you want, or wait a few days and I'll get the captions written.  There's also a trip summary coming here eventually ( Read more... )

Back from the road trip.  What an amazing journey.  Tiring, but otherwise excellent, especially the company I kept the week of the 13th through the 19th.  I'm missing two people very much right now ( Read more... )

So a few months ago I mentioned a road trip to Canada.  Well...it's expanded a bit since then.  See, I didn't want to just try to drive straight up there (because I'm not entirely crazy) so I thought I'd stop in Washington, DC and Boston along the way.  And then I got to thinking about the drive back and what else I might do.  And then, heck, why ( Read more... )

I've been slacking all day, but I thought I'd give an update here ( Read more... )

Ok, so it's been more than two weeks since I got back and I've probably forgotten most of the really great stories anyway.  Nevermind that!  I promised a recounting of my trip and here it is.  I'm including some pictures, but nowhere near as many as I took.  Most of the ones worth looking at are in the Gallery and if you want to see the rest it can ( Read more... )

Back from Kansas City/Chicago, and boy are my arms tired.  So much happened this week and I took about 600 pictures (not as much of an exaggeration as you probably think) but sadly I have to work tomorrow so it's all going to have to wait.  With luck my memory will hold out and I'll be able to make a coherent entry some time in the next few days.
