Andrew Bird

I have been following this guy (Andrew Bird) for a few years now.  He is weird and I love it.  Check him out.

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, […]

Was it Worth it?

Do you ever feel like taking a vacation almost wasn’t worth it?  The fact that a week’s worth of backed up work is setting on your desk almost makes me feel like it wasn’t.  That panic stricken feeling of overwhelming amazement drives me crazy.  I am convinced that my blood pressure doubled the moment […]

I am back!

Many stories to tell, but no time to tell them right now.  I am under the pressure of the pile of problems that happened when gone right now.  More soon.

Hasta la vista, baby

This time tomorrow I will be well on my way to Mexico with my father.  It is my goal not to check my email at all while I am down there.  Great…when I get back I will have to fumble through 1243509 emails about Viagra and male enhancement pills.

YES!

Over the past few months I have been listening to the band YES.  That’s right…the one from the 70s.  I think they are one of my new favorite bands.  I guess I am a few years too late.  I have always known about YES and was aware of many of their songs, but now […]

Does it have to be Christmas time?

So…we went to the mall today.  On a Saturday.  During the Christmas shopping season.  What a nightmare.  We were almost involved in several accidents, in the mall parking lot alone.  We saw screaming babies, whining kids, and wives bitching at their husbands apparently because they wanted to hear their own voices in a highly […]
