(18/366) Sometimes, you just really have to enjoy your bread. Can you guess what kind of food we had for dinner? Andrew did the heavy lifting tonight. I…preheated the oven to 400 degrees and then forgot to actually put the naan in the oven for the 1.5 minutes it was supposed to be in there. [...]
(11/366) All I have for today is this bland picture of the Phoenix airport. Which is appropriate, because the Phoenix airport is pretty bland. Also, USAirways would not wait 15 minutes for us to make our connection after delaying us and telling us we’d be fine so I’m currently enjoying my six hour layover. I [...]
(10/366) So, I’m on the west coast for work for a day. Yes, a day. But I’m making the most of it. After work today we headed to the coast to do a little sight-seeing. Driving along the water was gorgeous and I got to stand in the Pacific Ocean for the first time. I [...]
Andrew and I drove back up to Massachusetts for Thanksgiving this year. It’s the first time I’ve ever driven back home for Thanksgiving. I used to drive back all the during Christmas. I usually left from visiting my friend in New Jersey on Christmas morning and zoomed my way up the east coast. It was [...]
I just came back from a week at Lake Tahoe. The weather was beautiful, the water was clear, and the company delightful. It was a perfect vacation of reading, hiking, water skiing, relaxing, and eating. While I was there I took my first foray into high altitude baking and whipped up a batch of ginger [...]

Just had to bust into my suitcase to get my computer after I lost the keys to the very heavy-duty lock. And by very heavy-duty, I mean I busted the lock using my hairbrush. Also, my bad, the Winter Olympics in 1972 were in Japan, not Munich, so I have no idea why there’s a [...]

Ok, I’m on the world’s slowest internet connection, so we’ll see how this goes. I’m in Munich! I slept in kind of late today which wasn’t the greatest idea. Turns out since it’s the off season, pretty much everything closes early here. So with a late start, there was a lot to cram in today. [...]

I’ve been typing that previous post in Word and it was nearing two pages in length, so I decided to break up the post into two separate ones so…I have no good reason why. Anyways…I slept in late this morning. When I woke up, my window was open, cool air was streaming into my room, [...]

Ok, I’m back to recap to you my exciting travels of the past two days. My nose has stopped running like a leaky faucet and I appear to be able to stay up past 10 PM, so things are looking up. Yesterday we got to see a whole bunch of stuff. Unfortunately, most of the [...]

Between the weather, the lack of vegetables, the aches, and the fact that a few of us have come down with clothes, I think most of us are ready to leave Vienna. I’m heading to Munich tonight and I excited for the change of scenery. I’ve got a nasty cold that’s been kicking my butt, [...]

That’s right, the clock is rounding 12:30 AM and I’m pleased to say I’m still awake. Hopefully I finish writing this post before I fall asleep, but no promises. Today we finally got to our finished product; the whole reason we’re here in Vienna. We spent a lot of the day playing with our big, [...]

Let’s just say the hotel rooms are…a little warm. We’ve all turned our heat completely off and have been sleeping with the windows open, but man, the temperature in this room is HOT. In other news, the floors of the bathroom are heated which one wouldn’t normally think about, but once you’ve experienced it, I’m [...]
