It’s Monday, and even though Monday is traditionally the day we all dread, I actually really really like Mondays – because of a little thing called slam.
Here in Eugene we have the University of Oregon, and there’s a coffee house in their student union building. On Monday nights that coffee house is taken over [...]
Rainy Eugene

It’s a rainy day here in Eugene and I’m enjoying a cup of tea before heading off to do the laundry at the Downtown Athletic Club.
Just getting some air.
The next few days don’t look too promising. Just look at that weather forecast.
Easy on a Sunday morning

Chris and Sean are out of the house today, Ant is doing his own thing and all I have going on is the view of my Ugg boots.

This afternoon after work I checked my e-mail and was surprised to find an e-mail from my Israeli friend Kathy, who I met in Nepal in ‘95. I haven’t heard from her in a while and was getting very worried with all the random violence that is going on over there.
It’s great [...]

One of the most inspiring sights I saw when travelling was the dawn over Mt. Bromo. I layers of sulphur would hang in the air and change color as the angle of the sun changed. The whole place has a very unique atmosphere.

The Giant Buddha is located at the Po Lin monastery on Lantau Island in Hong Hong. It is an awesome sight with a ring of bodhisatvas offering gifts.

Sometimes the urge to ‘go native’ is too hard to resist. Who wants to wear jeans when its 95F? Here in Penang, Malaysia, I just had to get into some batik and stay cool……….even if I don’t look too cool.

Travelling is a thing I think about every day and dream of hiking though African villages, Amazon swamps and Peruvian mountains.

This house smells like a brewery!

Brewing beer is FUN. I mean, really fun. Making something from scratch and knowing that you’ll be able to enjoy the fruits of your labour (but not right away) is kinda cool. Maybe people that bake have the same feeling. Maybe not.
I may not be investing in my long term financial future right this [...]

With a couple of stints working in South …

Awhile back I posted here about getting into the Boston Globe Travel Show for free. Turns out that was for the trade conference during the day on Friday Feb 19th, not the travel show for regular consumers like you and me that runs from the evening of Friday, February 19 to …
