We made it! It took two planes, a dozen super-long lines at Heathrow, some confusion, the world’s funniest cab driver, and some luck, but here we are. Dublin is great. Everyone we’ve met so far has been friendly and helpful, and the city has a great vibe to it. The pictures are online from our […]

The Single Greatest Post Ever
Jon has a peculiar writing style. I assure you, it shows up in his speech too, which is why I love him, and want to have his alien wrestler love babies. His post about the stuff he got from Japan is the single greatest post on any blog, ever. And I’m all packed except for […]
I Do Stuff
I’m at work today, and loving every minute of it – really. Sudafed and Exedrin are keeping me awake, and I’ve finally got my plane tickets for Saturday. I do feel a lot better than I did yesterday, but I’m still far from “normal” (OK, “normal” for me…). I’m probably running at about 60, and […]
Why????
What a perfect time to get a sinus infection!! I’m supposed to get on a plane in about 72 hours to fly across the Atlantic… Perfect time to have clogged sinuses. I’ve been home for work for two days, missed a deadline, and still feel unwell. But, I’ll still be at work tomorrow in meetings […]
A Dublining I Will Go
My passport was finished and mailed out on 11/25, which means it should be here any day (any day before my trip would be perfect). I’m so excited that I can almost live with the cold I’ve had for three days, a deadline fast approaching amid numerous distractions (like sinus pain, documents and meetings), a […]
The World’s Greatest Pot Roast
Because someone asked how I made my perfect roast, I figured I’d share my recipe. This recipe is for a 5 quart crockpot. If you have a smaller one, use enough to fill up your crockpot and that’s it. If you don’t have a crockpot… why not? Go get one, now! So, here goes: Ingredients: […]
Hi, Nice to Meet You
I’m off being social and planning for my trip (waiting patiently for my passport, buying touristy books about Dublin, trying to figure out what the weather is like in Eastern Ireland in early December, putting together a shopping list, and trying to find things to do with the 18 hours of touristy time we’ll have […]
Creepy Animals I’m Glad Don’t Exist
If you’re into crazy animals that don’t exist, but are extremely well imagined, you should hightail it over to Uncommon Creatures. It’s fantasmagorical!! Whatever the inverse of insomnia is, I have it. I can get to sleep just fine, but I’m waking up too early. It’s been happening for about a week, and is really […]
The Crack of Dawn
I’ve been waking up extremely early the past few days. Instead of spending extra time in the shower or eating breakfast at home, I just come into work as I normally do. Only, when I get here, I’m all alone. No one shows up in my buddy list, and I have very little e-mail to […]
Can I Do Anything For You?
To the best of my recollection this is the exact transcript of a conversation I had with my wife last night: Jen: Can I do anything for you? Kevin: Nope, I’m good. Jen: But I love you so much, I want to show how much I love you by doing something for you. Kevin: I […]
