End of 2018
I’ve been back from Indiana for a few days now. Been slightly sick, working on unpacking, cleaning, resetting, all the usual crap before I get back to work on Wednesday. The trip was probably my longest visit to Indiana since I left in 1995. I was there from Friday night to the following Saturday morning,…

Hello from the former 219
Exactly thirty years ago, to the day, I was here. It was Christmas Eve. We closed at five. I was telling people we had no Nintendos. I probably worked forty hours that week. I’d listened to the same four-hour loop of taped holiday Muzak at least ten times. Mariah Carey was still waiting tables, so…

Milwaukee
I had to make an emergency trip to Milwaukee last month – haven’t had time or energy to write about it yet, but I probably should put something here. My wife’s stepmother passed away suddenly, and there was much chaos behind the whole thing. I don’t want to go into too many details here, except…

Anchorage, recap
OK, I’m back. I’d planned on doing updates every day, and that just didn’t happen. The first half of the trip was too busy; the second half, I ran out of things to do and had no motivation to write in here. I did upload my pictures. They are on Flickr here: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmhtk2H2 Here’s a high-level…

Anchorage
Hello from Anchorage, Alaska. I just got here last night, and my first impression is that is is really weird up here. Like Omega Man weird. So, the trip up was fairly unremarkable. Quick flight up to Seattle, and that was unusual in that I haven’t been back to Jet City since I left in…

Maui
I spent last week in Maui, as a combination tenth-anniversary trip and Thanksgiving. Sorted through the photos, vaguely, but I’ve been too busy to get any words down on it. Looking back, I guess I haven’t written about my previous visits there, but we went in 2013 and 2015. Pictures of the previous visits are…

Mendocino, Fort Bragg, Glass Beach, etc.
I’ve been back almost a week, but here’s a quick trip report on the tail end of what I wrote about last time. So I stayed just south of Little River. They have a town hall and post office that are in the same building as a two-pump gas station. So the whole town is…

Little River
I am in a cabin in Little River, CA. This has nothing to do with the Little River Band, who is apparently from Australia. (I had to go look this up.) Not sure why exactly I’m here. I wanted to bug out of town for a few days, and didn’t want to end up back…

Various Vegas thoughts
I planned on blogging more from KonCon in Las Vegas last week, but I didn’t, because I am lazy. I probably should write a synopsis of the trip, but the TL;DR is that it was way too fucking hot – usually at or above 110 each day, and even hours after the sun set, it…
