Pics from the Road

2008-05-18T02:37:04Z

Just a couple of pics I took from my phone camera today while Strix was driving. View through the sun roof in Strix's PT Cruiser. The leaning water tower of Groom, New Mexico. It's not as famous as the leaning tower of Pisa, nor as famous as the ...

Restaurant: Springfield Brewing Company

2008-05-17T04:43:33Z

SBC is an old favorite of ours here in Springfield, Missouri. It was great to have lunch there, yesterday. I had the jambalaya linguini, which was to die for, and a locally brewed stout beer. Very, very tasty. It will have to hold me over unti...

Restaurant: Tasia

2008-05-15T05:43:05Z

We ate at a pan-asian restaurant called Tasia a couple of days ago for lunch. I had szechuan chicken, and Strix had some tofu stir fry, and we both enjoyed our meals. The atmosphere was nice for a quick lunch, and the service was prompt and polite.

Book: Casino Royale

2008-05-14T14:08:53Z

Me, Squished, and Heroes

2008-05-13T13:30:30Z

I spent almost all day yesterday watching Heroes on Mom's DVR, which had all but a couple of the episodes from the last season. Love that show. Here's me reflected in the shiny plastic dashboard in Strix's PT Cruiser. I look kind of melted, some...

The Old Homestead

2008-05-12T06:07:39Z

I'm visiting the town I graduated high school in, Springfield, Missouri. The place has changed, as is to be expected after being gone for several years, but not that much. Still home of Bass Pro Shops and the Assemblies of God and - it is repor...
