Brian and I finally made it to the lake for a weekend. Despite extensive planning back in April/May, we only made it to his family's cottage a handful of times this summer. This is mostly my fault since I don't like to go up on the holiday weekends, which are generally the times when we …
Work and Pleasure in Wisconsin
Last week my colleague and I traveled to Wausau, Wisconsin, to visit a client for three days. I was surprised how reasonable the airline prices were traveling mid-week, although we did have an interesting flight schedule from Akron-Canton Regional (6 a.m. flight) to Detroit to Central Wisconsin airport.

To make myself feel better (worse?) I decided to log a couple of places I would rather be than here. …
The New Harry Potter and Old London Travels
I was one of many who went to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince at midnight on Tuesday/Wednesday. When my friend and I arrived at the theater, snatching one of the last two pairs of seats together, we both wondered why we couldn't have waited until Friday with the rest of the world. Two …
