Posted in Life, Travel, tagged , , on March 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

March 8th. Unless it’s your birthday or your anniversary, it’s the sort of day that’s likely to pass unmarked and unnoticed, just another Monday ticked off the calendar. The last time March 8th fell on a Monday was March 8th, 2004. It’s a day that holds special meaning for me because on that day, I [...]

It’s not often that you get snowed in in North Carolina, but here I am. At least I’ve got Internet, power, and water… and as long as the leftover pizza holds out, I should be okay. At least it gives me an excuse to catch up on the blog. By the way, if anyone from [...]

This is my September, This is my time of the year…

Posted in Travel, tagged , , , , on September 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Ah, September. Home of Virgos, the Fall Equinox, and sapphire birthstones. Resting within its 30 days lie numerous official and unofficial holidays, including that most tragic of modern anniversaries, 9/11. But September is, all in all, a fine month. The heat of late summer begins to subside, and it is once again possible to venture [...]

Obligatory Intro Goes Here
