I’ve Been Everywhere, Man

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

At a party last night, I was reintroduced to the Johnny Cash song, I’ve Been Everywhere. It’s been sung by many others artists too, of course, and it was originally written by Geoff Mack between 1959-1962.
Cash’s version of the song is included on the American 2: Unchained and The Legend of Johnny Cash albums, […]

Creation Museum

Monday, December 31st, 2007

This week, while on my 9th Annual New Years Eve Roadtrip (to Charleston, West Virginia, but I am passing through many other places as well), I went to Petersburg, Kentucky, a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio, to visit the controversial Creation Museum that opened just this last May.
I’ve been asked why, as a scientifically-minded atheist and […]

101 List: Golden Gate Bridge and OFC

Monday, November 26th, 2007

Over the long Thanksgiving weekend, I went back to see my family in the San Francisco Bay Area where I completed two of my 101 List items.
The original list item #83 said to go to the top of one of the Golden Gate Bridge towers, but, unfortunately, that’s just not allowed anymore due to superfluous […]

Passing Through Pico

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

Yesterday, as part of Mike Schneider’s second annual Great L.A. Walk, Jenn Moore and I hiked the entire 15.6 miles of Pico Boulevard from its start at the Coca-Cola Bottling Plant in Downtown Los Angeles to its end at Shutters On The Beach in Santa Monica.
Along the way, we passed such places as the Los […]

Bay-to-Breakers 2007

Monday, May 21st, 2007

Last weekend, Danny Granville and I drove up to San Francisco to run the Bay-to-Breakers race again, completing 101 list item #32 which said that I needed to “get my best time ever”. I didn’t quite do that, but I just revised that entry to say “get one of my best times ever”. […]

Lost in Hawaii

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

After wrapping Alvin and the Chipmunks early last week, I flew with Melanie to Hawaii [we’ve since broken up, though] which completed my 101 list item #56 (while also bringing me a step closer to completing item #51).
We only stayed for three nights, but it was enough to see most of the island of Oahu. […]

“We’re going to Casa Bonita!”

Friday, April 6th, 2007

Melanie and I had lunch today at Casa Bonita in Lakewood, Colorado. Up until a few days ago, though, I had no idea that this place was even real. I had only known it from the classic episode of South Park in which Eric Cartman was so desperate to go this “Disneyland of […]

Fargo? You betcha.

Monday, January 8th, 2007

Melanie and I just got back from a 4,600-mile roadtrip through 15 states. It was exhausting, but definitely a lot of fun. We spent two nights at a super-suite at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, and later spent another two nights in Fargo, North Dakota, where we celebrated New Year’s […]
