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… Continue reading Observing Humans Under Stress in the Airport

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!

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… Continue reading My Second Trip to The British Museum

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… Continue reading This and that
Half the Photos from China
I’m not close to having them all up, and will hopefully be able to recover the ones on the\ fried laptop’s hard drive, but I’ve started uploading photos from China. They’ll all end up at that URL eventually.
The Many Misadventures of One Kevin P. Lawver
I made it home. What a week. I posted before about what I did on the flight to China and that was the last you heard from me. Well, Saturday night, my laptop died. It suffered a complete hard drive failure. Even using Arun system disk, it couldn’t find the hard drive controller. Hopefully, this… Continue reading The Many Misadventures of One Kevin P. Lawver
Losing Time, Gaining Time
I spent fourteen hours on a plane yesterday, racing the dawn over the North Pole, getting from Dulles to Beijing. In my sleeplessness, I started thinking about how weird travel days are when you cross timezones. I lost almost a whole day, timewise, being in the air. A fourteen hour flight really took twenty-six hours… Continue reading Losing Time, Gaining Time
