Over the weekend I took a trip up to Bern, which is the capital of switzerland, to look around. Bern’s a pretty cool place because it didn’t get bombed back to the stone age in WW2, so it’s still got an old look to it. Here’s some random photos I took while I was there [...]
Most of the country music fans that I’ve met were confined to 2 or 3 states in the south, so you can imagine my surprise when I got to Gstaad and discovered that their country music festival is one of the big events of the year. All the big country music acts come from around [...]
As most of you have probably heard a million times by now, I moved to switzerland! I just got to Gstaad today, which is where I know a few people. I’m going to spend a month or two here while I scout out some other places, and eventually I’m planning to end up in Zurich.
Gstaad [...]
Since by now pretty much everyone knows the news, I guess I can post it here.
A lot can change in a pretty short time. 4 weeks ago I was working at Sony, I had just gotten a nice promotion and raise, and I thought things were going well. Today I’m trying to sell off everything [...]
June seems like as good a time as any to take a trip to Switzerland. I had other reasons too, which might not be a good idea to detail on a public blog just yet. Nonetheless, I headed over to scout out the place.

Last night the Padres had a retro 70s disco night, which meant they wore their old yellow and brown uniforms from the 70s and the fans were supposed to come dressed in disco outfits. Of course this sounded like a lot of fun, but it presented two major challenges:
1. I didn’t actually know what 70s [...]
What is one to do when Easter weekend rolls around and you’ve got no plans? Why, go to Miami of course!
I headed over to Miami last weekend to visit Brian. I had printed out some driving directions to his place from the airport, but when I arrived I discovered that the main road that I [...]
I thought one trip a month was a lot, but I seem to be exceeding that goal pretty regularly so far this year. I just got back from a weekend in Memphis visiting my brother and the rest of the family. Unfortunately, we didn’t make it to Rendezvous this time around but we went to [...]
March is a new month, and that means a new trip somewhere. I just got back from a weekend in Rosarito down in Mexico for a friend’s birthday. We stayed at Festival Plaza with an ocean view, got drunk and rode a mechanical bull, got drunk and drove quads on the beach, got drunk and [...]
