Petrol, Gas, Fuel, Insane

With the prices of gas being so crazy these days, I have come up with a plan to make me feel a little better while going to the pump.  I plan on filling up when the car reaches half tank.  That way I don’t have to see $60 pop up on the screen.  Sure […]

Yes it’s in my garage. No it’s not mine.

My Uncle that lives in California has a house in Charlottesville near my grandparents’ farm and he keeps this car there for when he comes to visit 4 or 5 times a year.  Its a replica of a 1954 Porsche 550 Spyder.  The engine in this one is from a 2.2 liter Subaru WRX.  […]

Qatar Bound…Not me, my sister!

As some of you may know, my sister is a fashion design student (and a damn fine one too) at VCU in Richmond, VA.  Today I got a call from her saying that she and her design partner had won a design contest.
From her blog:
May 5th I’ll be going to Qatar for a week.  […]

Punch Brothers

The trip to Raleigh got off to a rocky start, but ended up being a great weekend!  Christy and I made it to Raleigh without any problems in her brand new 2008 Mini Cooper Clubman.  She picked it up Friday and we were on our way.
Once in town we settled into our hotel…one of […]

Raleigh

This weekend Christy and I are going to Raleigh, NC to see The Punch Brothers in concert.  We decided that since my birthday is next week, we would just make a weekend out of it.  We’ve never spent much time in Raleigh.  Anyone know what there is fun to do down there?

The Early 90s called and wants EVERYTHING back.

Found an old roll of film.  Had no idea what was on it.  And now I wish I had never developed it.  Exhibit 1 (above) has to be the least heterosexual picture (not that there’s anything wrong with that) of me that I have ever seen.  How 1994 can you get?  The hair, the […]

Because 40% would just be too much

This made me laugh.  Something to do with the metric system maybe?

The Mayan Ruins of Tulum

Tulum, pronounced “toloom”, was probably the highlight of my trip to the Yucatán Peninsula.  It is one of many Mayan ruin sites located in Mexico, but many say it is one of the best preserved.  The city has a wall on three sides and the 4th side is a 40 foot cliff protected by the […]

Habla Espanol?

Everytime I travel overseas I am always impressed by the fact that people from other countries have, for the most part, adopted English as a second language.  And they are really good at it!!  I took 3 years of Spanish in high school, but I have nowhere near the comprehension of the Spanish language as many of the people […]

Viva La Mexico!

Well…here it is.  My first blog entry about the trip to Mexico.  To say that the views were beautiful would be an understatement.  I have been to Mexico before, but this is by far the nicest place I have seen in that country.  Crystal clear water, perfect weather (until the day we left), food, […]
