In honor of finally getting up some photos from Scotland, I am reposting my previous Scotland blog post so you have a better commentary. The photos are here. We started off our only full day in Inverness by going to Culloden Battlefield. This was the last battle fought on British soil, in 1745. Here Bonnie […] Well, since the family left, I haven’t had much to post about. I certainly haven’t done much other than work, so I think I will post a mixture of stuff that I’ve been reading lately. Next is a really good post on Bruce Schneier’s blog about a very big misnomer, identity theft. As Bruce […] In December 2004, we went back to Nebraska for my Grandmother’s funeral. Despite the very sad occasion, we took a lot of pictures because we don’t get back there often. I hadn’t been there in 12 years. This time back we visited a lot with family, went to the farm, cried a lot and reminisced, […] Played a little tennis today and did some work (not nearly enough). Bleh. Also tried to clean up this house in anticipation of my parents and brother visiting, which is easier said than done when I have two pets who insist on vomiting on stuff and/or bringing in baby birds that they then chew up […] So, as I posted earlier, I am back from Nippon. Still jet lagged like crazy, but there’s not much to be done about that. I did NOT get Mibu Gishi Den. Argh! The reason this time is that I agreed to shepard two other folks from my company to Akihabara. I did so, and when […] Well, I’m back. Very tired though, so I’m not gonna write anything. I’ll write something tomorrow… after much sleep. So I am once again on the train from Ogaki. However, this time I am only mildly drunk and hence will NOT get off in Kisogawa. The sushi I had was relatively bad for soaking up sake, but since it took 4 hours to eat, I am more or less ok. I ate some squid […] Sitting in the japanese pizza place tonight, munching on pizza almost as good as I had in Roma, sipping some sake, listening to Nora Jones doing her breathy jazz singing thing, I realized that I was feeling really, really alone. Those of you who know my very screwed up personal life will probably just nod […] Yes, once again I am in Japan. Trip number 14. I flew into Narita this time instead of Kansai since it matched my work travel plans better. The flight over was relatively ok. I think I am getting inured to this 11 hour flying stuff, as sad as that is. Of course, that last 2 […] I finally got around to putting up our Europe pics from Wimbledon and Wales. The pics from the Opening Day at Wimbledon are here. The narration of our adventures at Wimbledon and in Wales are also available. Since I have finally put up the photos for Wales, I think I will write the narration to go along with them. So, without further ado, here it is. If you’ll remember, when we last left off, we had finally managed to reach our accomodations, the Winston Private Hotel. The folks there were very nice […] I have added gallery to my site, which will make adding photos a lot easier (I hope). To test it and start off with, I have put up the the best pictures I have taken (or been present when they were taken – since some of these are JCs) for your review. Some these […] Yesterday I decided that it had been a good long time since I’d been hiking, so I decided to go to the Superstitions. Unfortunately, as usually happens, I procrastinated long enough that instead of getting there around noon like I was hoping, I got there around 3pm or so, just in time for the rain […] Yes, I know it has been more than 6 months since we went to Europe, but I plead laziness for not getting these up sooner. The sad part is there a lot more than this to put up. In anycase, here for your viewing pleasure are ALL of our pics from London (note that this […] And we are safely back in Phoenix after going back to Florida for New Year’s. I hope you all had a good Christmas or Holiday. We had a good time seeing the family even though it seemed to never stop raining :). The highlight of the trip though was the trip to Biloxi. We saw […] Not content to violate your 4th amendment rights and treat you as a suspected terrorist everytime you get on an airplane, the TSA is now asking the airlines to provide the passenger name records (PNR) of every passenger who flew in the US in June in order to make their “No Fly List” more robust. […] So, I’m back in Japan for the 13th time. No, I am NOT a triskadekaphobe… or at least that is what I keep telling myself. The plane ride was uneventful, although I am glad I went through SFO since LAX closed down due to some TSA stupidity. Because of that, I don’t think my supplier […] Sorry for no blog updates for a while, but as most of you know, we were out of town vacationing in Europe for two weeks. I am now on the flight back to Phoenix from Atlanta and am really tired and ready for my “vacation” to be over. I will post some of the individual […] In the morning we got up and went down to the Clava Cairns, which were only a couple of miles from our B&B, although we went the long way around since we are foolish tourists 🙂 . The Cairns are the remains of an ancient burial ground from as long ago as 2000 B.C.! 4,000 […] Yes, more logs from the trip… I know I am lame, but I’ve been playing too much City of Heros and Doom3. Took a taxi/limo to Heathrow, then BMI airlines to Inverness, Scotland, theoretical home of the Loch Ness Monster. The airport is fairly small, as one might expect, but nice. So small that the […] |
