Uncle Markie out and about.
Refresh for a different picture!
Up at 9am – getting closer to the Seattle schedule, just in time to leave town again – at least this time it’s in the same time zone. Errands in the morning… Swanda’s for packages for Hummingbird which turn out to be from Argentina and covered with many pretty stamps, and a swing by Safeway… […]
Up at 9:30… look, I’m getting closer to Seattle time! Pucci made a couple of damn fine omelets on his return from the gym… filled with some hot Italian sausage which I forget the name of, some green onions, some mushroom, a little fresh rosemary – not that’s the way to start at day. We […]
Again, with this sleeping in thing… I hope it doesn’t follow me back to Seattle, that would cut into my work day. Lots of time to randomly search the web today… and stumbled across this New York Times article: 11 Tricks to Cutting Travel Costs in 2011 Which led to this other site (TripAlertz) which […]
Maybe it’s the weather that makes me sleep in on the East Coast. By the time I got up at 10:30, Jill was getting ready to shove off to visit friends and friends children leaving me with the late morning and early afternoon “at leisure” as they say in the travel brochures. Plenty of time […]
Lazy days here in Boston. Here is the view from the computer… Up at 9:30, breakfast of scrambled eggs and sausage at 11:30, and lunch at 1 with Jill’s family friend Faith. And what a lunch it was. Lobster sandwiches from Alive and Kicking in Cambridge along with a dozen Bar Harbour oysters. Yum. The […]
6:15am – text to Jill “ETA” 6:35am – phone call to Jill –voicemail 6:50am – phone call to Jill answered, “Overslept” – me, “I meet you at the airport.” Hello MasterPark. Great way to start the day those of you who know my obsessiveness to getting to the airport early. Hey, at least I got […]
Stayed up late, took a pill, slept late… it always messed with the day. The day is all about packing and kvetching about the trip. Do you ever have that “black cloud” feeling about an upcoming trip… I’d like to blame it on not getting an upgrade to 1st Class, but I think it’s more […]
Really, I need more billable hours… hanging out in front of the computer searching for cheap vacations is expensive, or could be. The Colonels and I need to do the African continent (Egypt/Morocco) to complete our seven continents. Thanks Babs for pointing me in some directions for those trips…. Ugly, ugly, ugly pricing…. Three grand […]
Well, it seems that none of my clients are “back in the saddle” yet from the holidays… and it’s too damn cold to be working on outside projects. I guess that just means more eye strain at the computer for no particular reason – which is dangerous as I’m likely to start shopping for air […]
Another day, another dinner party. The “tree” is down: Compare this to the shot a couple of days ago. The wine is sacramental…. 12 Apostles and Sacred Hill. Must save some for when my priests visit. Dinner with DancingBear and Erik. A New Year’s gift of a hand me down phone for Erik, and a […]
Slept in, missed the Macy’s New Year’s Parade – it was on, I was just asleep on Swanda’s roll-away. Housewarming (only took them three years to do it) at Mark and Kassi’s place – oddly, it seemed like EVERYONE showed up right at 2pm. Next on the docket was a gourmet vegetarian dinner at BoktiShakti’s […]
