Lost Luggage? Here’s why…

Some Guy — Mon, 23 May 2011 18:35:58 +0000

Did you ever wonder why only you seem to lose your luggage while everyone else gets theirs?

I snapped this picture at Denver International Airport, outside Gate 59, Concourse B, at DIA, on the way to the New Belgium Brewery pub. And here I thought that DIA had one of the most advanced luggage handling systems in the world. I suppose it includes luggage being thrown onto the tarmac and being run over by airplanes.

Mr. Someguy Goes to Washington

Some Guy — Sat, 30 Oct 2010 04:06:01 +0000

After a long journey of enlightenment and discovery over the last ten days, Miss Fish and I are loitering in Boston’s South Station, waiting to take the red-eye Northeast Corridor train to Washington, D.C. We are planning to attend John Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity” on the National Mall. The all-night train will serve as our hotel for the evening, as the train fare is cheaper than any hotel stay in D.C. Goals for the night: 1. Find seats with power outlets (the Droid X is a power hog) and 2. find the quiet car.

The Rally to Restore Sanity and its seemingly contradictory sister rally, “March to Keep Fear Alive” are Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s brainchildren in response to the much-hyped, ultra-conservative rally by Glenn Beck a couple of months back. Although tomorrow’s rally promises to be humorous and generally apolitical, the organizers are pushing for a centrist, “reasonable” tone that will hopefully appeal to the majority of Americans that are not in the loudly-shouting political groups that lately have been forefront in the national media. So, I’m fully expecting the rally to be entertaining and funny, but I’m not holding out hope that it will be the spark to ignite the centrists, liberals, and democrats that many fervently despite it to be. Okay, a bit of hope.

Update: success in both goals. We’re in a repurposed business-class car. Others on the train are slowly filtering back for the quiet.

I took a stroll through the rest of the train, and from what I could tell, everyone in this train is
headed for the rally.

I hope there are enough porta-potties.

Clear Lake…Nice

Some Guy — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 05:57:14 +0000

No really. Nice is the name of the town, perched on the north end of Clear Lake. We’ve got a great spot by the lake, and other than the music from the party up the road, it’s about as peaceful as it gets. Easy travel day tomorrow; only 80 miles until we reach Mendocino.

On the way to Lark Camp

Some Guy — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 00:21:16 +0000

We’re on the road to Mendocino to return to Lark Camp, musical mayhem in the Mendocino redwoods. We have Dana in the back seat, stuffed full of dramamine and fast asleep.

After last year, we’re definitely better prepared: less food and more clothes. We’ll be meeting up in Mendocino before joining the parade of vehicles queued up for registration.

Wow! Huge Sale!

Some Guy — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 19:43:00 +0000

…but after all that build-up, I can’t help but feel a little let down. Umm…anyone need a dead tomato seedling?

What’s a Guinness Without a Ciggie?

Miss Fish’s Brother in Law edited the pic of her sampling a Guinness during the brewery tour. I thought it was funny…although Miss Fish has other opinions.

NOW the picture looks complete.

Off We Go — Farewell to Erin

Some Guy — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 06:27:08 +0000

Out of money and out of time, so I suppose that’s it for our Ireland trip. We’re on the way to catch the bus to the airport.

As the days go on, we’ll get some more photos up, and I’ll consolidate some of the adventures into feature articles, embellished with gory details and such.

Next stop, Chicago — Woohoo! Sausage!
