Life in the Backcountry: May 2008
http://arcanaphotography.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Life in the Backcountry. Sunday, May 25, 2008. Li'l Miss Adventure Seeks Sunshine. When Max and I set out for a mini-spring-break adventure, that Wednesday seemed like just another ordinary day in Portland, Oregon. The temperature was moderate, scattered clouds refrained from releasing rain, wind was calm, traffic light; all the elements signaled only good times were to come. Little did I know what misadventures lay in wait on the road ahead. Located within Six Rivers National Forest. In no time, I had t...

Life in the Backcountry. Saturday, June 14, 2008. Siouxon Creek Trail #130. Click on any image to view full size. A few mistakes to which I will admit (and the resulting consequences):. 1 Underestimating driving time - The Forest Ranger told me to allow about ONE hour.it took us TWO. We didn't arrive at the trailhead. Had I brought a better map, we would have located the correct trail a mere 1/2 mile past the turnoff we took! Experience is the ultimate teacher and the worthwhile lessons learned are:.

Mental Brew: I've become one of Those people
http://mentalbrew.blogspot.com/2009/03/ive-become-one-of-those-people.html
All the thoughts fermenting in my head. I've become one of Those people. Let me start by saying that I love graphs. Graphs, charts, spreadsheets.templates get me all a twitter! I'm a stage manager, I organize, it's what I do. True, I mostly use spreadsheets and templates, not much call for graphing in my line of business, but there is a time in everyone's life where a good graph just puts things into perspective. So that's what this is all about, really, the graphs. Anyway, for those of you interested, t...

Mental Brew: Baby's First 5K
http://mentalbrew.blogspot.com/2009/03/babys-first-5k.html
All the thoughts fermenting in my head. I know all (three) of you have been waiting breathlessly to hear about the 5K. So, let me explain.no, let me sum up - it was totally awesome. Okay, first of all, check out all the free stuff I got in the pre-race package:. Yeah, that's right, I got free socks! No one else I have consulted with who have previously run marathons (Tafee and Will) have EVER gotten free socks! So we both dressed in layers. Look, I'm all ready to go! And an Irish band setting up. And...

Mental Brew: August 2009
http://mentalbrew.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
All the thoughts fermenting in my head. Cooking with Coolio - My New Favorite Show. So, I went to the Iowa State Fair on Monday, and Coolio was playing on one of the free stages. Yes, that Coolio. Interestingly enough, the theatre I'm working at now performed one of their kids shows on the same stage earlier that afternoon. So you had this at 1:. And this around 9:. And yes, the stage does say "Ridiculously High Standards" on it. But thrilled as we all were to hear Gangsta's Paradise, there. Singing Unde...

All the thoughts fermenting in my head. You call that a zucchini? People, I have grown the Biggest. Zucchini. Ever. Seriously. It is bigger than a bottle of beer! Bigger than my shoe! Bigger than a breadbox! Assuming said bread box is under 13 inches long.) And what are my gardening secrets, you ask? How did I grow such a mammoth zucchini? I didn't even know that my zucchini were ready for harvest, but I walked by my little garden patch today and wham! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

All the thoughts fermenting in my head. Beth is clearly the Google queen of Blogger, but I've gotten my fair share of hits from the Google. (By the way, spell check on Blogger takes capitalized Google but not lower case Google. Clever spell check.) Most of my hits are from the Rojo Mojo wine review. Or my multiple Gordon. Posts, and I've gotten a few random Monk. Hits, but that's pretty much it. Surprisingly enough, no chicken pot pie. Googles, go figure. And I clearly don't post enough on cheese! And th...

All the thoughts fermenting in my head. Ps to those thoughts. I love Designing Women. And it was nothing after Delta Burke left. NOTHING. Thoughts on a Monday night. My doctor has today confirmed that I am, indeed, allergic to the state of Iowa. The song on Bones tonight, where the car is blowing up, I will always associate with Trainspotting. I love that movie. "It's such a perfect day.". Gerard Butler is seriously attractive. Whole Foods carries St. Andre Triple Cream Brie cheaper than your regular...
