Things for which my sister is too tall.
Over the last couple of months that I’ve been visiting my family (it’s been an extended visit, what can I say?), I’ve discovered a growing list of things for which my sister is too tall. They include, but are not limited to: Disney World (starting with the tram from the parking lot, and including many…

New photos and my Passport to the National Parks
While on my wild horse chasing weekend, I discovered something that’s been around almost as long as I have– the National Park system’s Passport. I’m a National Parks member, so I get into all the parks for free, and I went to a TON of national parks as a kid, but somehow I missed the…

Horror Hotel VINDICATION
So, the AWESOME HOTEL where E and I wound up not staying now has put pending charges on my account that amount to FOUR NIGHTS worth of stays… when we didn’t even stay ONCE. I understand that they charged me for ONE night, since I didn’t cancel until 8pm (because I didn’t want to get…

So here we are. It is December 5 and I finally have a story for you. I’ve already told it partly on twitter, but feel that it should be EXPLAINED. Here it is, as I wrote it, commentary added as needed. ….. Monday. 3:28pm: Twitter I just got attacked by a TOILET. 3:40pm: Seriously, there…

Checking in at the end of November
So, I’ve been a pretty terrible blogger lately. It’s not that I don’t have anything to tell you, it’s that I’ve been spending time with the core of my main reading audience, so they know perfectly well what I’ve been up to. I also haven’t felt particularly ranty, except toward a car salesman who called…
