Denver The Other Direction
It's June 14th. I am stuck in Denver again - this time overnight. I am deliberating over springing for a hotel - thus negating the cost-effectiveness of this trip with money I do not have - or sleeping at the airport. I'd consider contacting one of my two friends who live here if it weren't so late and if it didn't seem like such an imposition ( Read more... ) -
Airborne Coelacanth
I've traveled back in time to tell the partial tale of my June 12th travels, and thus the blog entries will once again be out of order. I'm writing this now, because I am sprawled on the floor at the Denver airport struggling to stay awake ( Read more... ) -

I recall making the observation (a rather simple one) that this occurs when you're the age that your mother was when she had you. The teacher had me repeat that for that class ( Read more... ) -
KHAAANNN!!!
I posted this on a thread recently. I know I've written this up before on this blog, but this is one of my few original (?) ideas, so I think it deserves a repost.

Kobayashi vs. Chestnut Redux - PIZZA
Clash of the titans! Pizza this time and not hot dogs! And to think this was in Culver City - I could have seen it.
This is my favorite line: "No dunking was allowed, and containers of marinara sauce accompanying each P'zone were tossed aside by both chowhounds."

Bad Dreams - West Wing and Hiking
I dreamed that I was working for President Josiah Bartlet. I don't know in what capacity. I was not Secret Service, but I did feel partially responsible for his protection ( Read more... )
