Best I have felt in a week…

Doctor Weaver did a thorough diagnosis and proscribed some cough syrup that helped me actually lie down for a good night’s sleep last night. I napped for four hours yesterday, and slept nine more hours last night and woke up feeling better than I have felt in a week. Yay! Ugh… Now I have the […]

Mad World just never gets old…

I love this song, it is hauntingly beautiful, and the video that goes with this version is poignant too… For those who can’t see embedded videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWGmN_x00hg I have many close personal friends who happen to be gay and happen to be in life-long relationships. They deserve the exact same treatment that I enjoy with […]

Minibar Experience

Erci and I went to Minibar on Wednesday night, and had a fantastic dining adventure. She shared her detailed thoughts and the menu, and I commented over at: http://sutragirl.livejournal.com/79317.html LiveJournal has a funny “adult content” warning on her blog because she once posted some mild language, but this review is G-rated and safe for all […]

ThatPotteryGuy is a fantastic traveling companion, PenguinInArmor shall henceforth be known as “that insufferable celebrity” as he was recognized everywhere we went once he and PaleoBob had done their demonstration of medieval combat in armor.
