Christmas Meme
Hot Chocolate or apple cider? Hot Chocolate Turkey or Ham? Ham, hands down. Preferably cold. Do you get a fake or real-you-cut-it-yourself Christmas tree? We’ve had a fake tree every year of my life, except for the one year we had to get a real one because my brother had burned down the fake one [...]

You give love a bad name
(made again from the performancing extension. This thing is sweet) I’m still a fan of sitcoms, although there aren’t a ton of them to get excited about. But “How I Met Your Mother” is consistently funny, it just hits me in the right spot. For anyone who likes the show, I highly recommend Barney’s Blog. [...]

Netflix goodness
After a few months on the Hollywood Video “MVP” program, we took the plunge on Netflix last night. We haven’t gotten anything yet and I’m already in love. They said most first time subscribers end up with 6-7 items in their queue, when I went to bed I had 52. The biggest thing I wanted, [...]

Road Trip
I’m finally mostly recovered (if not unpacked) from our most recent road trip. Tucson -> Anaheim -> Sacramento -> Tucson in 5 days. 2050 miles. Half of that in one shot, 18 hours. We went to Disneyland one of the days, which was immensely fun but tiring. Their 50th anniversary fireworks were completely amazing. And [...]

Speed
In California the interstate speed limit is 70. Apparently there is something in the driver’s manual or constititution that clarifies “limit” to mean “guideline” or maybe even “minimum”. Or maybe they randomly calibrate their speedometers. Technically it doesn’t even say “MPH”, so maybe it’s in some other scale entirely.

Variety
Isaac asks every 80 seconds if we’re in California yet. About every 5th time he mixes it up and asks if California is in the desert.

Wired for a Road Trip

Things you never think about
I was just listening to a presentation on the role of early spy satellites. I knew there was satellite photography in the 60′s and 70′s, but I never gave it much thought. I probably thought it was all spy planes, actually. Today we live in a digital age, that’s a given. And part of me [...]
