I flew home from a work trip yesterday, which required setting an alarm for 2:30AM to make sure I got to the airport before a 5:15AM flight. I knew I needed to sleep, but I didn’t want to sleep through my alarm so I skipped my usualy melatonin and then… didn’t sleep. I can’t remember […]

Stupid sleep
My alarm is set for 2:30AM, which is in less than an hour. I’m supposed to be asleep so it can wake me up. That is not going to happen, as I never actually got to sleep. I have to get in a car at 3AM so I can get to the airport so I […]
Travel Tired
I used to travel for work a lot. I just started really traveling for work again, and… it’s exhausting. I’m not in travel shape anymore, and my back screams at me after every flight. Adjusting to time zone changes is harder. I love seeing people in person, but getting there sucks and I’d like it […]
Observing Humans Under Stress in the Airport
Being stuck in the airport is a great chance to watch people deal with disappointment and things outside of their control. Observed today: The Grumbler: Vents aimlessly to anyone in earshot but not loudly or with any attempt to do anything to fix it. The Busybody: Has to find something to do that’s demonstrably “doing […]
Domestic Falling Down Old Stuff
[hang2column width=”500″][/hang2column] I took a little drive this morning to go see Old Sheldon Church. I highly recommend it! It’s a beautiful site, and the ruins are gorgeous. It reminded me of the old church ruins I saw in Ireland. There are more photos from the trip here. Enjoy!
Taking the Boys to Atlanta
Max’s Blue Man Group Audition from Kevin Lawver on Vimeo. The boys and I went to Atlanta last weekend to hang out with my pal David and go to the Georgia Aquarium. We stayed in a hotel right downtown, went to the Children’s Museum, ate at Legal Seafood, went swimming, watched a movie and had […]
My Second Trip to The British Museum
This was my second trip to The British Museum. My first was in October of 2007 with a friend from AOL, but we could only stay for about an hour. That’s not nearly enough time. We only got to see the Rosetta Stone, some mummies and a little bit of the Assyrian collection.\ My only […]
Why I’ll Be Tired Later
I have a very long day of cab – train – airport – airplane – airport – airplane – airport – car ahead of me. The hotel fire alarm going off around 3AM and my inability to get back to sleep so far is not going to help the situation.\ I have a lot of […]
Talk about burying the lead
I want to blog, except I don’t really have anything to say. So, mundane details it is!!\ Max received his first quarter report card. He got all A’s and E’s (exceeds expectations) except in music where he got a ‘meet expectations.’ He has school until almost 4, which doesn’t leave a lot of time for […]
This and that
I’ve misplaced my iPod. I am bad enough at cleaning the house with it, I can’t imagine what I’ll be like now. Booo. I need my crutch! I am going to dig out our 80s-inspired iPod that is the size of my head and see if I can duct tape it to my body. That […]
