Have been getting the travel itch so badly these last few months!

Twin Cities this weekend, hopping a train south to New Orleans/Memphis/wherever the tracks take me from the 16th to the 24th. Wish I had the money to keep drifting around America indefinitely...

Twitchy twitch twitch...

Two goals so far for 2010:

1.) Learn how to fish this summer

2.) Haul ass down to Memphis and New Orleans for 7-10 days on Amtrak for good music, good barbecue and good gumbo.

Anyone wanna join me for #2? Pretty please???

Gahh....finance stresses me out. Even opening a savings account.

Back from Scotland, it was pretty awesome! Rainy, but awesome. Started in Edinburgh, then went up to Aberdeen, with a side trip up to the Shetlands. Hooray for sub-Arctic adventures in October ( Read more... )

Ohhh, Shorewood people, you piss me off. Particularly when you obliviously PLOW RIGHT INTO MY PARKED CAR in the grocery parking lot with your fat-ass Cadillac, then spend ten minutes trying to find your damn insurance card, which isn't even current.

I am going to be filled with hate against the class enemy all afternoon...

Eat my shit.

Woo....I am about $850 poorer and one roundtrip to Scotland richer.

Nothing starts the day off right like a rabidly angry Russian woman on the phone... Just sayin'.

Also, this double life between jobs is getting ridiculous and Machiavellian. Can't wait until May 4...

So, a couple of weeks ago I played hooky from the office to go interview with a hippie whole-grain bakery co-op on the East Side, partly to indulge in wishful thinking, partly to skip work for half a day.

Got a call this morning offering me the position...

Yea or Nay: time for a career change?

Wow...what I wouldn't give to be able to write like this ( Read more... )
