Oregon Trails: Road-Tripping with the Corgi

Posted on: 2 May 2019 /
Categories: Cities, road trips

The dog does not like being stuck in the car for hours at a time. Legitimately, my goal for this summer is to find a way to get the dog to ride in the car in relative comfort and happiness without sitting on my lap. Mal sehen. Last summer, we took a long road trip

Narrows IV: Riding the Lightning

Posted on: 30 April 2019 /
Categories: Hiking, Religion

I’m not quite a year behind on travel posts yet. Last summer, I went with (led?) the River Heights 4th young men on a trip through the Narrows. This marked the third consecutive year of doing a trip through the Narrows (c.f., 2016, 2017). I didn’t take my camera on this one because I was

Showing Dresden Off to Others, Part II

Posted on: 18 November 2018 /
Categories: Cities, Travel

There was apparently a Part I of this. There was also a report on a trip to the same general location three years earlier. But I digress. Day 5 – Meißen I hadn’t been back to Meißen since ’93, so that’s something. It’s a cool, old-looking city. We toured the Dom and went to the porcelain

Showing Dresden Off to Others – Part I

Posted on: 16 November 2018 /
Categories: Cities, Other, Travel

Eight days there, but 10 would have been more reasonable than six. I really think that, of all people, I’d be the one who would be willing to say that the place I went on my mission was terrible, ugly, and not worth visiting if, in fact, it was terrible, ugly, and not worth visiting.

Wandern im Emmental

Posted on: 15 November 2018 /
Categories: Hiking, Travel

I’m six months behind now. Seems right, comfortable. Back in May, Switzerland, friends Thomas and Kristine, took me walking through the Emmental region. It looked like this. Like, I realize that when I go there I’m pretty much on vacation (although I presented some research at the University of Bern on this trip — thanks,

The Stockhorn Is a Peak in Switzerland with Clouds and Closed Trails

Posted on: 10 September 2018 /
Categories: Hiking, Travel

This is back in May. Went on a two-week trip to Switzerland (to see Thomas and Christine) and Germany (forthcoming). The flight to get there was kind of ricidulous, but I should probably let that sink down the memory hole and instead remember the trip up to the Stockhorn. So this is what I did

The Beard at Max Power

Posted on: 9 September 2018 /
Categories: Personal History, Self

This is how far it got. It looks like a professional head shot because it is (I needed one for the school website). Was taken in March I’m not sure there’s much else to say about it. It got trimmed several times before March, but I guess that’d be about a year of growing to

Goblin Valley with Dog

Posted on: 22 July 2018 /
Categories: Travel

In May I drove down to Goblin Valley with Dog. The dog does not like riding in the car. I usually put her in her crate while driving anywhere with her, since otherwise she gets really agitated, wants to sit on my legs, then wants to crawl on my shoulders, then invariably wedges herself between

Upstairs Remodeling Plans (?)

Posted on: 24 February 2018 /
Categories: Home Renovation, Projects

This house where I live was built in 1949, then added on to in… I dunno. Let’s say 1960 or something. It was also surface-renovated about 10 years ago by people who were well-meaning and on a budget. As a result, I have a house that (a) is small, (b) is dark, (c) has three

Another Conference, Another Continent: 2.5 Days in Seoul

Posted on: 5 February 2018 /
Categories: Cities, Travel

TBH, it was actually 73 hours. Just that it takes about three hours to get from the plane to town, then about two hours from town to the airport plus two more hours of “get there early” time (necessary at ICN). Anyway, about 2.5 days of functional time there, plus sleeping. Seoul! It was supposed
