Don’t worry, I’ll be blogging about my entire trip after I get back, but this morning I’m having some quiet time while YP tackles the Louvre (which I visited my first time in Paris so I’m not missing out). It’s been a great two weeks. The last time I was away for this long (outside [...]

As expected I had a mostly great time on the east coast. I say mostly because my parents and I ended up spending all of Friday afternoon at the emergency room. First off, let me say that everything turned out to be fine, but we only knew that after hours of waiting and tests. That [...]

Although it was for a bad reason, I had a very nice visit in New Jersey. If you’re behind on the whole parents-saga, you can catch up here. The short version is that while on he was on vacation in Taiwan, my dad tripped, fell, and fractured his right pubis bone in three places. This [...]

In a recent post, I made a big to-do about blogging more regularly, but then I got really busy with work and went on vacation. Oh well. MB was away on a business trip so I thought I’d take the opportunity to visit New York and New Jersey over the long Memorial Day weekend. Tickets [...]

Our return trip was that Sunday after AWP, but for some reason I kept thinking it was on Monday and that we had a whole day in Chicago to tool around. But around Friday the words of the guy who checked us in started ringing in my ears, “Four nights,” and I started calculating, “Wednesday, [...]

I wrote this on the train ride back from Chicago. On the train. Right now we’ve stopped in snowy Ottumwa, Iowa, population 25,000. It’s been a fun and exhausting several days, between the two day, two night train ride, the four days and nights in Chicago, all the sessions, and all the AWP attendees (about [...]
