Hello from the land of cheese
Hello from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I am here for the week, visiting Sarah’s family, and hoping we don’t get hit with a foot and a half of snow. We flew in on Saturday, and took a relatively painless Southwest flight to Midway airport in Chicago, where we got a rental car and drove up. Our plan…

Back in the U S and A
I’m back in Oakland. I got back late late last night, after a very long travel day. We weren’t able to check in online at the hotel (nevermind that the hotel computer had one of those whacked-out non-US keyboards where the backslash character is Control-Alt-Shift-Start-Caps Lock or something) and we left early to get to…

Hello from Mexico
I’m writing from a hotel room in Ixtapa, Mexico, where I’ve been hanging out for almost a week. We flew down last Saturday, and fly back on Sunday. This has been our first real vacation since our honeymoon in the Bahamas in 2007, except for long weekends, trips back to the Midwest for holidays, and…

Amsterdam
I’m back from Amsterdam, and we had a good time there. Part of me wants to write a big trip report, but part of me wants to do a rm -rf ~/www/journal on a fairly constant basis, (and that might be coming soon), so no report. The basic synopsis is that the jetlag really fucked…

Back to Indiana
I’m back in New York, and a lot went on over the last week, so I’ll see if I can lay down the bare-bones version of it as I eat my lunch. On Thursday, I woke up early and caught a limo to LaGuardia. This is a pretty quick trip from my apartment, so I…

From the IMU
Today’s journal is coming to you from the bowels of the Indiana Memorial Union. Although I’ve written paper journals in weird places (at 30,000 feet, in the middle of the golden gate bridge, at disneyland, at MIT, etc), I think this is the first online journal entry I’ve written outside of Washintgon. Of course, I…
