Adventures on planes, trains and automobiles
Dave and I have returned from Porto and I will do a whole blog post on the trip, but as a prelude to that, I thought I’d share this first. When my brother and I were little, my parents took us to a theme park or the fair. I can’t remember exactly. It might have…Keep…
Dave has been on Spring Break this week, but since his school doesn’t provide a “dead week” prior to finals, we’ve used most of the week as time for him to actually get some studying done. I still can’t believe they don’t give more time for such things. Even his classmates from other countries were…Keep…
I’ve been doing some voice over work as a side gig lately and the client sent over some recording equipment, since I have none in my current environment. After spending an afternoon figuring out how it all went together, I think I’m set. It is also way more professional than my old Star Stage Microphone……Keep…
My care package from home arrived today, including one of the two cameras I left at home during our visit at Christmastime! Tom & Molly threw in some bonus items…
The third and final full day in Paris was spent wandering around Galleries Lafayette, which is a huge department store (think Macy’s on 34th Street in NYC).

Originally built as a church dedicated to St. Genevieve, it now is a mausoleum where a bunch of famous French citizens are interred. After we took in all the giant artwork…Keep…
Last week at this time Dave and I were strolling through museums and monuments. Today, we are attempting to work and study, but I’m taking a break to continue our trip to Paris because the trip to that city was wonderful. I mentioned before that we’d made plans to have a fairly busy Saturday, so…Keep…
As a spur-of-the-moment Easter weekend trip, Dave and I decided to head to Paris. We literally bought tickets on Tuesday for a Friday night departure. Only about 3.5 hours away by train, we got into Paris around 10pm and immediately set out to find our place for the weekend. We booked through airbnb.com and stayed…Keep…
Since Dave had a long weekend last weekend, we had planned to try and take some day trips. Sadly, the rains on Saturday and Sunday had other plans, but we did luck out on Monday, when we decided to head to Carcassonne, about a 2 hour train ride away. Carcassonne is basically like two cities…Keep…
