So what do I enjoy most about traveling? Breakfast at cheap fast food restaurants!
I have an unnatural love of breakfast; it’s the one meal I would never willingly skip. What puts me off most about long runs and race days is the fact that I usually can’t eat before the run; I am [...]

Wedding planning so far has been, as I predicted in my last post, alternatively stressful and fun. Fun part! Knowing who your bridesmaids are immediately (little sis Dorkus is my maid of honor, my good friend L from my Dyn-o-mite! days is my bridesmaid). Stressful part! Realizing you know way too many people and happen [...]

On Monday, July 21, 2008, at approximately 9:20am HST (3:20pm for you in EDT), I turned to IP and asked him if we should move on to our next overlook at the World Botanical Gardens. We had just finished viewing the Umauma Falls, three-tiered falls within the garden. A man, another tourist, had just chatted [...]

Thanks to a wonderful vacation and a long flight home, IP and I woke up about 15 minutes ago. The vacation was, simply put, awesome; I will have to do another post to do it justice, because it definitely contained some memorable moments that I won’t soon forget (and not just because it’s still so [...]

So here I am, finishing a cup of coffee in Kona. My business trip was successful and interesting. And that’s all I got to say about that.
For now, I’m waiting for IP to arrive so we can begin our vacation. Woohoo!

Gordon Biersch (alas, no Golden Export, but the garlic fries will do), Starbucks iced green tea (unsweetened, natch), and Peggle while the old iPod charges is a decent way to spend time before I board the final flight to what will be my office for the week.

A quick walk around Phoenix’s airport assures me that, yes, their selection of food is crappy and that the place is way too crowded. However, it afforded me a view of some mountains (topography!). Gotta like a place with something of a view.
By the way, if you’re traveling to Hawaii, please don’t wear [...]

As my journey west- and southward ho commences, I find myself sitting next to the Rum Island Bar in BWI. I find that exceedingly apt.
Posting in the next two weeks will be sporadic and brief as I take care of business and pleasure. Expect this blog to descend into Twitter-like madness!
I’ll be back [...]

I continue to revel in gadgetry and that wonderful new car smell. Dealing with gadgetry first, the Garmin foot pod has been delivered to my front door, waiting for me to scoop it into my loving arms when I get home from work today. The foot pod allows me to wear the Forerunner [...]

Sitting in our condo parking lot is a lovely, new 2008 Mazda3. IP and I picked it up yesterday after signing a multitude of papers and clearing up our insurance issues, driving off into the noonday sun (or lack thereof) in a little bit of disbelief. It hadn’t even been a week since our adventures [...]
