I went to Las Vegas and all I got was this lousy blog entry.

Saturday, July 31st, 2004 Posted in Vacation | 1 Comment »

OK, so that's not exactly true, but it makes for a good title. I did find myself a few monkey-related items for the office, though none of them were Vegas related. I was really hoping for a damn T-shirt from ...

Thanksgiving in Kansas

Monday, December 1st, 2003 Posted in Vacation | 3 Comments »

Our Thanksgiving with the family in Kansas was good. Nothing like sitting around in flat country with not a lot to do. I did manage to avoid posting while I was there, but I couldn't completely avoid the computer. I ...

Going Home

Monday, November 24th, 2003 Posted in Family, Introspection, Vacation | No Comments »

I'm a blogging maniac today. And I guess that's OK. I'll be taking some time off over Thanksgiving, so you'll just have to go without. I'm also avoiding lots of real work today. What else is new. Aside from the job ...

Well it ain’t gettin’ any safer.

I joined the fall retreat with my church’s youth group this weekend. Thanks to an uncooperative work schedule, Abby had to stay behind. But despite going bachelor style, I had fun. Here’s some highlights: A mile-long trek through the woods in ...

I want some fried sugar!

Yesterday marked the first day of the great Minnesota get together, and we were there. The Minnesota State Fair is just one of those things you just have to do. Famous for massive crowds, farm animals, free stuff, bizarre promotions, ...

Check out these pics from my recent trip to Split Rock Lighthouse State Park. No seriously, check them out. As you'll notice, there was some nice fall color action.

Rocky Mountain High

Vacation. That's where I've been. I actually have a valid excuse. You can't just go hauling a laptop into the woods when you go camping. I went on the Internet once during the entire trip, and that was only when ...

Visiting Charlotte

Sunday, April 28th, 2002 Posted in Vacation | No Comments »

I just got back from Charlotte, North Carolina. If I had to sum up the trip in one word, it'd be y'all. Believe it or not, y'all actually means "you all" in the local dialect. As in, "What would y'all like ...

See you on the flip side.

Travel seems to be my latest chorus. In October and November I'll only have been home for a handful of weekends. Business trips, vacations, and things you just have to do. I guess that's the way it goes. Sorry I ...

Lake Itasca State Park

Monday, September 3rd, 2001 Posted in Vacation | No Comments »

Nature is an amazing thing. It's sad that we've spread so wide and deep across the land that there isn't much wilderness anymore. Today I hiked a half-mile trail through dense undergrowth. The trail wasn't well kept (which was intentional), ...
