Notes from Harpswell

We’ve got  our XO here, and there is wireless — so I figuerd I would look up the tide charts and see if I could post to this blog. Looks like I can! I’m not checking email though!
We arrived late in the afternoon yesterday at the cottage that we are renting up here in Maine. [...]

Evan’s Visit to Moose Hill

Moose Hill is an Audubon reserve sanctuary. A sanctuary is a place that is reserved for animals to live.
So Mrs. Duggan’s class, which I am in, learned about two different things.  First half is the Indians. Second half is the trees.
So here we go about Indians: We saw and heard the name of an Indian house. The [...]

VT trip

We took a few days off and went away. It was great!
Saturday, we saw my parents and brother, celebrating my brother’s birthday, then went to my H.S. reunion—or part of it, anyway.

We went to the family-friendly park gathering. It was billed as a “picnic” but began at 2 and we left at 4:30, so we [...]

In Atlanta

The flight down was bumpy — but I’ve been on worse — and it was delayed out of Dulles because of weather. And I have to say, if you can avoid the Atlanta airport, by all means do it! Very crowded, and difficult to negotiate. It took me a long time to figure out where [...]

So what have we been doing, anyway?

The pictures on Flickr tell a visual tale, I suppose. But here’s a quick rundown of the things we’ve been up to in the last month:

We had a great vacation in Florida. Highlights of that trip include: beach beach beach, visitng with my grandparents, minigolf, a dinosaur exhibit at the McKee Botanical Gardens, and [...]

Homeward bound!

As the sun sets over the Tower of the Americas (yes I finally did figure out what it is called), I look towards home… Actually, the sun is rising right now, but somehow a picture of a sunset seemed more appropriate.
The key thing really is the sun! It was a beautiful day yesterday, [...]

A lot of conferencing… a little site seeing

After a day of conference sessions, I just wrapped up a much more enjoyable kind of conference — a video conference via Skype with Cathy and Evan. I am enjoying communicating with them this way, because I not only get to talk to them but see all of their facial expressions (and Evan is good [...]

In San Antonio

Well, I’m finally here:

That’s the view from my hotel room window.
The trip was fairly uneventful, though I swear everyone was conspiring to make me miss my flights. First, I got to the airport a little on the late side. After going through the self check-in kiosk, I had to go to the counter to get [...]

Back from Victoria

I wish I actually took this picture below, but unfortunately I didn’t have a camera with me any of the times I walked by the beautiful parliament building at night in Victoria. But this is what it looked like, so I thought I would share. (And just to make sure I am giving credit where [...]
