Apparently, I am:
Mad Tom Kidd
Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Even though you’re not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!
What be thy poirate names, ye scurvy dogs?
(Hmm. Maybe I should quit my job […]

Another fairly quiet and slow day at work, something which I am completely, totally unprepared to have. Downright creepy.
Chatted with mokatz a bit.
Posted the remaining four entries from our Hawaii trip, so thankfully that’s all done now.
Time to wake up Liz and cook some dinner. It’s stir-fry night! Yum!

Mood:confused

We are back from Colorado, back from visiting family, back from saying goodbye to my grandmother, the dearest, sweetest, most magical ray of sunshine to have graced all of our lives. In spite of the sad circumstance under which we gathered, despite the sorrow of her departure from this life, the woe of separation, […]

It felt pretty damn weird to be at work this morning, for any number of reasons. Mostly it has to do with being off for three weeks, which is quite honestly just about as long as I can remember. But I’m sure that the fact that 9 AM still feels like 4 AM […]

We’re back from Hawaii. A good time was had by all. Since I know some of you all read in Friends mode, I am posting this now to let you know, since my back-dated journal entries will otherwise never register in the most recent posts of your respective friends. (Did that make […]

Had breakfast with Liz. Went back to sleep. That felt good.I talked with sam16 a little bit last night, and got some IM time with mokatz this afternoon. Good to be back in touch.
Sorted photos. Exported photos. Reorganized server a little bit for photos. Uploaded photos. Rah.
Did a […]

Why did I leave?Oh, right, to take care of the cat. She’s very glad to see us.
Apparently so is the Ohio weather. We hear it hasn’t snowed since Christmas. And it’s just started up since we’ve been headed home. Obviously expecting us.
We flew all night to get to Chicago. Liz […]

It was just before sunrise when we docked in Honolulu. We had a nice breakfast with Anne and my parents, with plenty of hugs afterward, since it was the last time that all five of us would be in the same place for the foreseeable future.
We split up and headed back to our cabins […]

We arrived at the port of Nawiliwili, Kauai, at sunrise, and it was glorious. I am really going to miss the sunrises here when I get back to cold, nasty Ohio.
The Star was running about half an hour late, so we had to hurry off of the ship in order to get to our […]

Liz finally broke me today on our downhill bike tour.
Grandma would have wanted us to go out and face our respective days with vigor, so we went ahead with our tours.
The tour bus took us up to the summit of Haleakala, the 10,000 foot tall volcano that dominates Maui. I was squished into the […]
