Watch what you wish for, you might get it. Last post I was itching to get this train rolling. Now, the train has left the station and is picking up steam. Let's start with chemo, which was the first thing this week. I knew the infusion center was a nice place. And so it is; … Continue reading Garden of the Skeltons
Starting the marathon with a rock in my shoe.
After I was diagnosed with Cancer, it was like I was sucked into a huge machine. Appointments were being made, procedures and tests happening. Unlike with the vets sucked into the maw of the VA scandal, I haven't waited a minute for anything. There's a cost for that, however, as the insurance statements arrive, signalling … Continue reading Starting the marathon with a rock in my shoe.
There will be no Euphoria for you.
When I started Therapy for throat cancer, I thought it would be cool to blog about it. It wasn't.
San Antonio, Texas. Worth seeing, but not worth going to see.
I've been to San Antonio a few times this year, so far. Once for business, once for the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) convention. Not that I'm a music educator. I happen to have a kid that is an all state musician. While Austin may be where we keep our hippies and musicians, San Antonio … Continue reading San Antonio, Texas.

Victoria B.C., Seattle without the Hipsters
Has it been that long? I've really slacked off in the last year. I completely missed this trip, figuring out that I overlooked it when dumping pictures off my cell phone. I probably had it in my head that I went to Seattle and who cares about that? I go there all the time. In … Continue reading Victoria B.C., Seattle without the Hipsters
Jacksonville, Fla. There’s a beach there? Really?
It's been a long time since I've posted anything. Too long. But then again, I don't travel as much any more and the places I've been recently are repeats. So there's been little to blog about. So I have a new one this month, to a new place in a state I haven't been in … Continue reading Jacksonville, Fla. There’s a beach there? Really?
Colorado Springs…Oh, if I could only catch my breath…
"...and known to one and all for the way she sang a good song, oh, if she could only catch her breath." 'Tis, Frank McCourt. For reasons that aren't clear to me, my travel schedule tends to go in waves. By that I mean, I'll go nowhere for a long time, then I'll hit a … Continue reading Colorado Springs…Oh, if I could only catch my breath…

In Texas. In Denton. And I don't care what those cops did to that cyclist, it's still a great … Continue reading Wimberly, Texas
San Bruno. Why bother?
San Bruno, July 2012 "Why is it that you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a winery here, yet I have to drop 10 bucks on a glass?" - Me, to a waitress. Lets get the logistics out of the way first. Since I now book through the corporate travel agency, I have little … Continue reading San Bruno. Why bother?
A marketing rant…
Marketing, in general irritates me. But I positively can't stand telemarketers. Many types of Marketing I view as innocuous. Sure, When I browse to a site to look over an item, my browser will now show ads for that site, or item. Big deal. More of a reminder to me really. I'm in the Scott … Continue reading A marketing rant…
