This afternoon Valerie and I hit the road and head north to visit my brother Mugs, his wife, and their awesome son for the long Memorial Day weekend. As much as I’m pumped to see my family, I can’t hide the fact that I’m equally excited about the food. Delaware, you understand, [...]

The First Salvo
Saturday, March 29, 2008
I’ve just uploaded the first chunk of pictures from Paris - all of these were taken by Valerie using our digital.
I’ll be returning to Richmond this evening and I expect to get my film developed on Monday, after which I’ll have loads more to sort through and (hopefully) to upload.
Back on Terra Americana
Friday, March 28, 2008
So I’m back in America now, and I’m hanging out at my mother-in-law’s place until Saturday evening when I return to Richmond. It’s good to be home, and now I can return to my normal Internerding.
I think a small post script on my trip is in order, though, since I stopped posting after a [...]
And on the Third Day (in Paris)
Sunday, March 23, 2008
Easter mass at Notre Dame was beautiful - especially the Gregorian music. Afterwards we were soundly ripped of in a tourist trap restaurant with a friendly waiter, tasty food, and super high prices. I made up for it afterwards, though, with a crepe from a little stand on the curb…with butter, sugar, and [...]
Paris, Day 2 Continued
Saturday, March 22, 2008
So yeah, we never were able to eat at the Hidden Kitchen. Apparently, there was some computer virus, and the reservation was lost, or something. I don’t know - I’ll take them at their word since their apologetic reply came with a heavy helping of detailed suggestions for eateries (and wine bars!) around [...]
Paris, Day 2
Saturday, March 22, 2008
Today we had a later start, sleeping in a bit to recover from our long day of travel. After showering and dressing, we headed to Ile de la Cite to check out Cathedrale Notre Dame de Paris, which, I must say, WAS AMAZING. The picture you see above, in fact, was taken by [...]
À Paris!
Friday, March 21, 2008
So I’m writing this from my hotel room in Paris after a long exhausting period of travel.
We left on time from Dulles yesterday and even arrived in Amsterdam twenty minutes early. Then our flight to Paris was delayed an hour and twenty minutes. Then our train from Charles de Gaulles had to stop [...]
Départ pour Paris!
Wednesday, March 19, 2008
Okay, so tomorrow I leave The States on vacation. The ol’ blog may be quiet tomorrow while we make our way first to Northern Virginia, then to our initial leg of the trip - Amsterdam. We have a two hour’s layover before hitting the skies again to Paris where we expect to arrive [...]
Fish-eye-full Tower
Wednesday, March 12, 2008
Johannes Leistner is an amazing photographer with a prodigious amount of work available on Flickr. What really caught my attention, though, was his series of fisheye photos around Paris. Considering my impending vacation one week from tomorrow, it’s pretty easy to understand why these snaps arrested me.
As much as I’ve been shooting film [...]
Florida, the third.
Thursday, December 13, 2007
After today my posting may get a little light…
Early tomorrow morning I’m heading down to Florida for the third time this year (!!!), this time because my sister-in-law is graj-muh-laden from FSU. She has WiFi at her joint where Val and I are staying, but I don’t know how much time I’ll be spending [...]
