Right after we moved to DC, sprite and I became involved with DC for Dean – the local, grassroots supporters of then-candidate Howard Dean. When we started, the group was still in its infancy, with just a handful of members. And one of the most energized of those members was Paul McKenzie. Paul was almost …
Okay, since I’ve promised a trip report for some time, and now that I’m back in the swing of things here in DC, I might as well start the recap. Day One: February 15-16 The day before departure, the eastern seaboard experienced a rather nasty snow and ice storm. It wreaked havoc with travel, both …
There are many, many more to upload – and Flickr Uploadr is being ornery today. Right now, most of the photos are from Austria – St. Johann im Pongau, to be specific. They’re not entirely organized – some are out of chronological order, etc. – but it’s a start. Update: I’ve posted most of the …
I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Connecticut and I’m wiped out. I’ll post my trip report in the next day or two, and will upload a lot of pix to my Flickr account, as well. A word of advice: don’t go on a long car trip the day after returning from Europe. …
I’m back. I’m tired. I’ve essentially been awake – save for a couple of short naps – for 24-plus hours. There’s much to recap, and one person to remember (not related to the trip). I’ll get these things on the blog soon. But right now, I need to sleep.
I’m alive, and to prove it there’s this post. Skiing in Österreich was a lot of fun. The snow wasn’t fresh, but it was good, all the same. Last night, I was able to be 10 (or more) years younger at a “night gallery” – a large disco in downtown Munich. Dominik and Pia were …
…but I’m getting things wrapped up before I head to Europe later today. It’s been a long day, both good and bad, and I need to catch some shut-eye. So my blog posting will be more sporadic over the next week, though I’ll try to update when and where I can.
So the predicted winter storm will be more of a sleet-and-ice affair than a snowy wonderland. I’m bummed, but we’ll see what transpires. And the locals have gotten into the “oh my god it’s gonna snow – shit-shit-shit – buy lotsa bread, milk, toilet paper – must buy a new snow shovel – and more …
Tonight is the first time I’ve watched the Grammy Awards’ “In Memoriam” section and had met one of the people in the tribute. In my case, it was Gene Pitney, who I met once in Connecticut.
