I am back in Washington DC. Things I forgot this time around: My personal cell phone. (As opposed to my employer’s cell phone.) My iPod My Metro card. I think it had $12 on it. The turn off to Long Term Parking at O’Hare. … Continue Reading “Washington Misc”
I took it pretty easy my last day in Toronto, mostly because I had a back spasm the day before and I didn’t want to push my luck. But before settling in to watch the Second Season of True Blood, I walked over to Chinatown… Continue Reading “Toronto: Day 5 and the Week in Review”

My first impression of Toronto was, “Oh, yeah. It’s another country and stuff.” My second impression was, “It’s just like Chicago.” Those wretched storms delayed my flight by about 90 minutes, which is not a tragedy.

My old friend, Dave, posted on Facebook last week that he was packing for a vacation. Four hours before his flight was due to depart. He made it. I am not that bad, but I am getting there. Joy has been known to take… Continue Reading “Luggage”
I arrived to pick up Alex shortly before 9am. He was still in his pajamas, but all packed and breakfasted. He was dragging his feet because he was watching something very important on the Disney Channel. I asked him what he wanted to do first… Continue Reading “Vacation with Alex 2010 – Day 1”
Next weekend my nephew, Alex, and I are going on a short road trip. We are driving to Indianapolis for two days. He is five years old and this will be his first vacation without his parents. My brother’s family came over this weekend… Continue Reading “Road Trip Rules”
