I was a bit disappointed in Cleveland’s Winter weather. Not much snow to speak of. In my opinion if it’s Winter, it should be WINTER!!! Where Snow comes in storms worse than the weatherman could hype them, (if that’s possible). When temps are so cold, breathing deep makes your lungs hurt and your nostrils stick together. And the local pub…
I get around (Third Verse)
With my days in Cleveland were winding down so I knew I had better get some visiting while I was still in the neighborhood, relatively speaking. Luckily. Everyone I still need to see was in the same general direction. West. My first stop was to see an old friend from High School. He head out to find his path in…
I Get Around (second Verse)
My second trip out of Cleveland was to the suburbs of Washington DC. I spent many summer vacations there visiting relatives as a kid. I even lived there for a couple years back in the 90’s. My good friends from Seattle moved there the previous year and since I was in the general area and they have a spare bedroom…
I Get Around (1st Verse)
For those of you keeping track, I have moved on from my 3 month stay in Cleveland. My Handyman skills went pretty much as far as I could be useful at. I felt bad that I was getting room and board in exchange for on-the-job training and daily roam arounds of the Lowes and Home Depot. Cleveland itself was…
I Got Work To Do
I have been hanging out in North Georgia for the past few weeks. My long time friend, John Hagan, has allowed me to stay at his vacation lake house when his family aren’t using it. Which is way better than a Motel 6 on some freeway exit. The downside is that I am 30 miles from a reasonable sized town with…
Crash Into You
I had a nice week at the Crash Pad Hostel in Chattanooga. It was a slow week in Chattanooga so I pretty much had the whole place to myself. Chattanooga is growing on me although I might get bored there pretty quick. Seems like most people there are either young or married, neither of which are in my future that…
Going Where The Weather Suits My Clothes
For those of you keeping track, I have moved on from my 3 month stay in Cleveland. My Handyman skills were stretched pretty much to their maximum usefulness. I felt bad that I was getting room and board in exchange for on the job learning and daily roam arounds of the Lowes and Home Depot. Cleveland itself was good but…
Skinny Little Boy From Cleveland Ohio
The end of the year is rapidly approaching and I am quite busy procrastinating pretty much everything I have to do, I am going to cheat a bit and post my end of year status to the blog instead of doing a Christmas card. That way, I get an easy blog entry and you don’t get a paper cut opening…
There Is No Way Out Of Here
From earlier in the summer….. After a few days driving around the blast furnace between Los Angeles and Phoenix. I had had enough of the color of brown. I was eager for some fresh air, cool breezes and a bit of green. I headed to the mountain town of Flagstaff, Arizona via as much of the old Route 66…
Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls
I wasn’t really planning on going to California on this trip. I just found myself crossing the border in my ongoing effort to avoid Las Vegas. But there I was, staring at the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and Mt Whitney with Yosemite beyond. How could I turn around now? But first I had to get past the…
