It's raining, so I skipped my hike in Forest Park. However, I do really need to be doing some serious hiking this month. We booked out trip to Peru for April, and we are going to be hiking in Inca Trail. I'm super excited, but also afraid it is going to kick my butt. I think the hike will be only a little longer and not a lot more elevation ( Read more... )

Question: How different could this Thai crab appetizer possibly be from Crab Rangoon?

The trouble with working 16 hours in a day is simply this: my next meeting is in 8 hours, and while I am exhausted, I am pumped rather sleepy. And I probably need a shower, not to mention a meal or two and a massage.

The work itself was fun and interesting today. When it isn't, I can't make myself work that long in one stretch.

When I was a kid, I had nightmares about being unable to dial the telephone while someone was breaking into my house. (This after someone did break in while I was home alone--but I called my best friend and fortunately he lived next door and his dad chased the guy away, the cops showed up at least 30 minutes later.)

Now I have nightmares about ( Read more... )

I've been looking over lots of South America guidebooks lately, trying to decide where I most want to go. Definitely the Inca trail to Machu Pichu (~1 week), and Iguaza/Iguaca Falls (~3 days). But where else to go with out other 4 and a half weeks.
