Brain Freeze
Jan 14, 2009

Good evening to you. T-minus 8 hrs till we get in Gustav and Caroline drives us to the airport, where they will x-ray and ruin all of my unexposed film rolls before I get to experience NATURE. By NATURE I of course mean the indoor hottub and spa ...

The night before our trip

Trying to stay cool
Aug 9, 2007

So this is how summer days in New York really are. I was just beginning to enjoy the 'pleasant' (high 80's) temperature and then I get smacked in the face with the heat and humidity. It's so humid that it's hard to breath; if you've ever tried to swim ...

A Modest Request

The tagalong
Jan 2, 2009

We've got a ticket to fly!
Dec 21, 2009 (1 photos)

There is something about buying the ticket to the destination of your dreams. I'm not sure exactly what it is but it has something to do with one tiny part of the future being set in stone, and the past being a series of events leading up to it. A bit ...
