Sayonara, Sony

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: Switzerland

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.
Gstaad is a pretty small ski resort town up in the Alps. [...]

May: Let the world take a trip to you

May came and went and I didn’t manage to take a trip anywhere cool, but someone that was taking a cool trip came to see me. That’s almost as good, right?

70s retro disco night

70s retro disco night

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 [...]

April: Miami

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 [...]

A weekend in Memphis

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 [...]

A weekend in Rosarito

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 [...]

Another random fact

Another random fact

For anyone who doesn’t already know, I collect shotglasses! I’ve got quite a few now, and I’m always on the lookout for more. If you go somewhere cool, bring me back a shotglass! That is all.

Back from the Utah Ski Trip!

In keeping with my New Year’s resolution to take a trip every month, this month’s trip was a ski trip to Park City, Utah. One of my friends is a real estate investor and had just bought a cabin up there, so a group of us went up for the weekend. It was a sweet [...]

New Year’s in England and Scotland

I spent a week in England and Scotland over New Year’s with the family. We were in London for a while, Edinburgh for a while, and got to a few places inbetween. Stonehenge was pretty awesome, although somehow I thought it’d be bigger. I’ve got some pictures from the trip in the gallery:
