Inexperienced Biker

I appear to be a very inexperienced biker.  Back in high school, my parents and I would bike all over; we’d load up the carrier and try out trails, riding entire afternoons.  In college, I went through no less than 3 cheap Wal-Mart bikes.  The first rusted when I left it outside all winter.  The [...]

New phone numbers

Amanda and I have new cell phone numbers now.  I’m kind of bummed out because the guys said there were a lot more 341 numbers available (which through a couple of translations I thought meant most of the 341 numbers were available), so we had a bunch of DIAL numbers picked out (DIAL-BEN, DIAL-ALF, etc).  [...]

Honeymoon pictures finally up!

After two months, the honeymoon pictures are finally up! 200+ images and 8 pseudo-panoramics. And they all (well, mostly) have decent descriptions, so you’ll know what you’re looking at (even if the description is “even more water…”). Hop on over to the Honeymoon Gallery to check it out.

I have internet!

We’re officially hooked up with Internet and TV in the new apartment. Oh yeah… and we’re back from Alaska!! Yesterday seemed like a really long day… arriving in Chicago at 6:30am, which felt like 3:30 Alaska time. Then we tried to keep each other awake while we drove back to Farley, IA to pick up [...]

My feet hurt!

That was a LONG walk we had to take to see the Mendenhall Glacier. (Two days ago in Juneau) Amanda and I were going to ride the city bus ($1.50 a ticket) to the local brewery, but while we were waiting for the bus, we met a young student who had been driving tours and [...]

Capital of Alaska!

Hoy! That took a whole minute to login! Amanda says I’ll just have to type quickly. We’re about half-way through our cruise and things are going very well. There have been a couple downers (including an incident which re-inforces my dislike of all things salad-y). Plus I’ve been fighting a cold since we got on [...]

Touring the ship!

For 35 cents a minute, I can make really quick posts each day…. or maybe not. We’ll just see. We got on the boat REALLY easily, and were in our stateroom within fifteen minutes from the taxi drop-off. The stateroom is kindof small, but I think it’s pretty nice. We’ve been touring the ship and [...]

Married and out of the country!

Whee! We’re finally in the Coast Vancouver Hotel. I think God was teasing us, or at least testing us on trust. After leaving an hour after we had planned, yet still getting to Chicago an hour early, we had about two hours in the terminal before our 2:30 departure. Thanks to a problem with the [...]
