I went to the Mariners game last night with Joy and some other colleagues. Safeco Field is a perfectly nice stadium and it was a lovely night. The retractable roof was open and it was the second home game of the season. The place… Continue Reading “Mariners”
The tour was ok. For fifty bucks, I was hoping for a bit more history and a bit more..getting out of the bus. There was a lot of driving around the residential areas, which didn’t particularly impress me. Especially since I didn’t get to… Continue Reading “Seattle City Tour”
Another conference in Seattle. We are at the Marriott Waterfront, which is a decent hotel. Walkable to Pike’s Market and the Waterfront Grill of the Baked Alaska. Interesting hotel room view: But I am feeling decidedly cranky at the Internet fee: 12.00 per day is… Continue Reading “Seattle, Take 3”
My nephew, Alex, is five years old. He likes football, television, video games and camping in the basement with his dad. The last time he was at my house, he actually whined that he didn’t want to go home. They had to remind him… Continue Reading “Planning a Vacation with Alex”
Since I am home sick, sitting in bed and unable to talk, I finally have time to tell this story of the very, very stupid thing I did on vacation and how I fixed it: The parking lot of the hotel had one of… Continue Reading “Compromised”

I noticed my first day that practically on property there is a “petroglyph field”. The old “King’s Trail” ran through here and when people camped out for the night, they carved stuff into the rocks. They are dated back 500 years. So first I… Continue Reading “Petroglyphs”
My first visit to Hawaii was a business trip to Honolulu. It was in September..2003, I think. We flew in on Tuesday and met for a group breakfast before the meeting Wednesday morning. I was standing at the buffet with my colleague, Stu, who… Continue Reading “The Papaya Obsession”
I totally missed King Kamehameha’s statue. I drove right through the little town where it lives, all the way to the end of 270 at the Pololu Valley Lookout. Interesting thing about this island is that is really is all desert…desert….desert….rainforest! Eh. This picture… Continue Reading “And the Downside to Travelling Alone”
