I had such a great time skydiving last time that I think I’ll do it again… tomorrow.
Here we go again!
Free French Lessons in San Diego
We’ve been back from France for about a year and a half but I can’t stop thinking about the food, the people, and the language. Some days, when I’m walking around downtown, I hear people speaking French and I try intently to listen in – although I quickly realize I’ve forgotten the language and [...]
Reuniting with High School
We took a couple trips to Washington this summer. The first trip was for my *gulp* 10-year high school reunion. I always knew that I wanted go to my reunion but I decided to do some informal research to see what other people’s experiences where at their reunions. The resounding and slightly shocking answer from [...]

Catching up with Friends in Kauai

It’s going to be eight days of sunshine, beaches, hiking, boating, luaus and pure bliss. Now some of you might be wondering why Hawaii would be so great [...]
Houston, Friends, and Heroes
This week we took a flight to Houston, Texas, a city neither Tilly nor I had been to yet. The purpose was two-fold.
First, our friends Lach and Kari invited us to come early to have an opportunity to teach the Public Information Officers in the Houston/Galveston area about social media (all those sites like [...]

Today, Tilly is returning home from the Seattle area. Today the world becomes right again. It’s been [...]
It’s Getting Crazier By The Minute
As you can see by the countdown timer it’s getting close. We’re almost into the single digit days left as I write this post.
The past few days have been rather eventful. Tilly quit her job (I’m still not sure why she hasn’t posted here yet… prod her to post, please) and started packing [...]
