New Album: Zion National Park, Mother’s Day 2008

I know, Mother's Day was 2 weeks ago. Shauna had to do quite a bit of touch-up to get these ready for primetime, and her Photoshop skills far outweigh mine. Go check out the new album for yourself for lots of pretty pictures.

Even a Non-Drinker and Non-Gambler Can Enjoy Las Vegas

Shauna and I spent the weekend in Las Vegas to celebrate our third anniversary (go us!) and had a blast. We stayed at the Venetian (A++ would stay again), ate at some awesome restaurants and saw these guys:

Holy. Crap. Why did we put off seeing this show for so long? I […]

Restaurant Roundup: Winnipeg,MB (yes, in Canada)

I know, it's been like a month since I got back from the Great White North. That doesn't mean I can't share some good eats of Canada, right? It was really cold and gray up there in January. The temps were around 0F and I never once saw any kind of direct sunlight from all […]

Pictures from Italy, Round 2: Florence

The pictures from Florence are now up! I promise I'll add captions as time and motivation permit. In the meantime, check out the new gallery.

Pictures from Italy, Round 1: Venice

Yes, yes. I know we've been remiss in sharing tales of foreign lands and awesome foods. I've been working on the trip log since we got back (when time presents itself) and I promise to have it done by New Year's. In the meantime, enjoy a new photo album of our pictures from Venice.

Restaurant Roundup: Ames, IA

The Midwest solidly earned its reputation for harsh winters. After just a few days in Iowa, I can see that Utahns have it rather easy. We usually don't have that kind of cold until mid-January and only for a few weeks. In Iowa, it's so cold that the snow turns almost directly to thick sheets […]

A Quick Note From Ames, Iowa

It's 16ºF here. There's supposed to be 4 inches of snow tomorrow. I think I picked the wrong place for a on-site.

We’re Back!

Just a quick update that we're back from Italy. We'll be posting pictures and other stuff once we're not so stinking tired.
And if you want the Reader's Digest version, it was awesome. 

Hiatus (Or, we’ll be in Italy)

Shauna and I leave for Washington, DC tonight to visit her brother Bill, and then we're off to Italy! We'll be cut off from cell phone access and I don't fathom that there will be a lot of WiFi, so consider us as incommunicado until we get back on the 17th.
Ciao, everybody. 

Restaurant Roundup: Omaha, NE

Going out of town can sometimes be a pain in the rear. I spent the 12th through 16th in fabulous Omaha, coming back to a desk full of more work than I knew what to do with. This was no vacation either: I spent two days in travel and each of the other days working […]
