Brazil was Awesome
Originally published at Lalato.com. You can comment here or there. Liz and I had a wonderful time in Brazil. Pictures are forthcoming (though we didn’t take all that many this trip).

Brazil: FAIL!
Originally published at Kickin’ the new Kuh-nowledge. You can comment here or there. I thought a bit before posting about my cosmic FAIL! regarding our trip to Brazil.

Mr. goes to Washington
Well, I’m flying to D.C. tomorrow to present at a conference for the Systems Analysts at my company. Sounds pretty dry and boring doesn’t it? Well… that’s because it IS dry and boring. Fortunately, the people are usually pretty fun, and I’ll be happy to see some friends I haven’t seen in a while. 🙂…
Thailand Tidbit…
Dogs… yes… Dogs!!! Dogs are everywhere in Thailand… you can’t walk down the street without seeing at least one skinny, mangy mutt searching for food, sunbathing, drinking from a puddle, playing with pack mates, sleeping, etc. ad nauseum. Before anyone starts jokes about people eating dogs… I would like to note that dogs are considered…
