Well I'm home.
I'll go back and clean up the photos for the old posts today, but I don't think I'll be catching you up on the rest of the vacation. I figured it was best to spend more time on the vacation and less time documenting it. Sometimes I feel that way anyway.
You can see all 410 photos that make up the trip, in the order they were taken in this
Flickr set. Sadly there are no photos of
TreeGo as I was too busy having the time of my life.
Oh I will say that returning to 100+ degree weather (with heat indexes like 124) was HORRIBLE after being in the mid 60s and low 70s for three weeks. Simply lousy.
So now I'm back to my routine.
Wake up and take care of the dogs. Watch The Daily Show over breakfast. Get through my Too Much Rock mail. Do a crossword puzzle. Putter around the garage or yard. Make lunch. Watch TCM (today I stumbled on
Crossfire from 1947). Listen to some music and work on the podcast. Feed the dogs. Watch Jeopardy. Make some dinner. Listen to music. Do another crossword puzzle. Watch Colbert. Go to bed. It's a hard life I tell you.
I tried watching Shopgirl last night btw. I got like 20 minutes into it and switched it off. I'm so not interested in the characters on the screen. I'll slog through it some other time I suppose.
Yesterday I dropped Kate off at the airport so she could go to her Jeopardy audition in Chicago. We'll be back there in a week for a wedding and then again the next weekend for the Slaughterhouse Rally, so I figured I'd let her have at this one alone. Wish her luck.
BTW don't you hate it when you eat food you have to (because it's going to spoil or it's already opened) instead of the food you want to? Man that sucks.
I still haven't upgraded to the iPod 4. No reason not to since the 3G is worth more used than the 4 will cost new. Well no reason except I'll be stuck with AT&T for another two years and with all the Verizon rumbling going on, I'm just not sure. I will buy my new i7 iMac here shortly though. Dunno what's keeping me from pulling the trigger there (other than just returning from a $8000 vacation).
Oh and money. I think I go back to work Sept 7th for just about 8 weeks. The 3-month gig in Boston that could of started in December is a no-go as my client wasn't the winning bidder. So around Halloween I may be unemployed again. Boom and bust I tell you.
Anyway photos need replaced, so I better go do that.
