In addition to catching up on blog entries, I’m also still sorting through photos, and uploading them to Flickr. If you’re interested, you can see them by clicking on the photo link in the right-hand sidebar, or clicking here to see them organized into sets: Link The sets from locales I haven’t blogged about yet [...]

Europe Day 6- On München, and Hostels
Posted in Travel, tagged Europe, Germany, Hostels, Munich, Travel on July 12, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Note: At this point I’m catching up on blog entries from home. As I post them I’ll back-date them to the day they happened. I came to a realization earlier today: I’m too old to stay in hostels. Don’t get me wrong, I like hostels. They’re a cheap and easy way to get a room, [...]
Europe Day 1- The Dark Side of Storytelling
Posted in Travel, Writing, tagged Berlin, Europe, Germany, Storytelling, Travel on July 7, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
The Berlin Holocaust Memorial is a series of 2,711 gray monoliths, which all together take up an entire block near the center of the city. On the outskirts of the Memorial, each monolith is about waist high. As you walk toward the center, they get taller, and the ground begins to dip lower, as if [...]
Europe Day 1- Back in Berlin

I’ll be back-dating these entries to the day they happened. There probably won’t be a blog entry for each day, just whenever one pops into my head and I finally get a chance to write it. By my count, this flight was my seventh round trip over an ocean since 2000, so they’re kind of [...]
Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

It’s a sign of how crazy the past couple weeks have been (both at work and in life) that I haven’t gotten a chance to write a post about this yet, but on Tuesday July 6 I’ll be going to Europe for two weeks. There’s a long story behind how this all came together, but [...]
Reminiscing from the Roan Highlands
Posted in Travel, tagged Appalachian Trail, Backpacking, Mountains, Photos, Roan Highlands, Travel, Wildflowers on June 15, 2010 | 1 Comment »
The Roan Highlands is a stretch of the Appalachian Mountains in Tennessee, and it’s famous for having some of the beautiful mountain meadows in all of Appalachia. It’s also famous for its wildflowers, particularly the rhododendrons, which bloom in June… right when we happened to be visiting. So with that in mind, I enthusiastically packed [...]
ConCarolinas ReCap

On Saturday I drove to Charlotte to check out ConCarolinas. Several notable authors were there, including Jerry Pournelle and John Ringo, and I also wanted a chance to try out my birthday present to myself, a Canon Rebel T1i DSLR Camera. If I want to submit any travel writing to magazines or websites that might [...]
Memorial Day: Remembering Normandy

Back in 2008, my Dad and I spent several days traveling in Europe. We made our way by train from London to Berlin, where Dad had a conference to attend, and I spent a few days touring the city before making my way south across Switzerland and then back west to England. Along the way, [...]
From Here to Florida and Back
Posted in Travel, tagged Driving, Family, Florida, Ocean, Road Trip, Travel on May 16, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Last weekend I took a road trip to Jacksonville, Florida (driving time: 8 hours) to spend a few days with my Dad, who moved there earlier this year. The purpose of the trip was many fold: to see family, to take some time off work, to see part of Florida that I had never seen, [...]
Back to Backpacking: A Trek Through the Highlands
Posted in Travel, tagged Appalachian Trail, Backpacking, Grayson Highlands, Mountains, Travel on March 29, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
After two months of not being able to do much backpacking thanks to lots of snow and ice, we were finally able to head out this weekend. The destination was Grayson Highlands National Park in Virginia, the temperature was chilly but bearable, and the weather was probably going to rain. Sounds like fun! The plan [...]
