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.

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 […]

Work took me back to Texas, this time to the near-Gulf metropolis of Houston. I was pretty eager to partake of a city known for its great dining and fresh seafood with plenty of Texas flair. The city itself was less than comfortable. Non-stop rain produced stifling humidity, the kind that fogs your glasses when […]

I was on business in the greater Houston area last week, a trip that wouldn't have been all that bad if not for the hovel of a hotel I had stayed in. I'm not exactly picky about hotels either. I'm generally okay with a bed, shower, high-speed Internet and some kind of breakfast provided in […]

Work-related travel had me spending the latter half of the week in the Lone Star State, a river away from both a foreign country and another state. El Paso looks a lot like pretty much any other town in any other border state, a dry desert with equally spare-looking mountains. True to form, it was […]

"Ottum-where?" That was my reaction when I was first asked to go to Iowa for work. Everything I had heard about the state lead me to believe that it would be endless fields of cows and corn with no signs of civilization anywhere to be found. I was caught off-guard when I got out of […]

Shauna and I spent the weekend with my mom at Zion National Park for Mother's Day. The park more-or-less centers around the small town of Springdale just outside of the park's entrance. It's a very rural town split between touristy places (shops, restaurants, hotels and bed and breakfasts) and small ranches with pastures of […]

That's right, suckas. We're going to Italy!! This November, Jesse and I are taking a trip to Florence and Venice. I can't think of anything cooler, really.

I don't think it possible to stroll down River Street on a cool Savannah evening and not feel perfectly at-ease. As soon as I stepped out of my car into the cool sea breeze, the smells of various restaurants mingling in the air, it felt right to walk a little slower and take in the […]
