I Guess It Must Be Wanderlust

Another plane ride
Bouncing through the Singapore
This time to Europe.

Leaving in the morn
But unlike John Denver sang
My bags are not packed.

I like to travel
It's a blessing and a curse
I've learned to accept.

Lots of things to do
Before I hop on the bus
Thus I end this post.

I Can't Get No Sleep

I think I am becoming nocturnal. For more than a week, I have been getting very little sleep at night, and just a little more during the day. I am not sure why exactly, but I am hoping that at least it might help me adjust to the European time zone I'll be landing in this weekend.

Tonight during my sleeplessness, I have cleaned my entire bathroom. This would be a bigger task if it were not the size of many bathrooms found on recreational vehicles. I also created a new set of photos on my Flickr pages.

I figure this would be a good time to give you a few fun links I have come across lately. I bet you all missed the Swiss invasion of Lichtenstein. As I'll be in the area soon, if anyone would like to join me for a follow up invasion, email me!

Speaking of flying. I think I have discovered a way to get bumped to first class. Too bad you do not get to enjoy all the perks.

Here is a funny video for Red Nose Day/Comic relief.

Need a new search engine? How about searching with Meat Loaf?

Hamlet once said, "To sleep, perchance to dream..." I guess I will give it a shot.

Just Like A Friday Afternoon

The perfect haiku
Was created in my head
But I forgot it.

Joke from days gone by
Used to close out an email
Made me laugh hard.

Seventy four cents
Made from online commissions
In the last two weeks.

X-files marathon
Trying to watch them all
This could take a while.

He was annoying
Always watching what you wrote
But now he is dead.

Warm It Up

This week's theme at PhotoFriday is "heat." Here is a photo from our frozen adventure to the lake this January.

Ice Ice Baby

From time to time I find stuff online about friends of mine. And being the guy I am, I like to pass it on to the rest of you. This morning, I saw a link to the World Ice Art Championships. As I clicked it, I remembered how years ago at Miracle Camp, I worked with a guy named Jeff Stahl, who was an amazing ice carver and chef. So after a couple clicks, I discovered that he and his team finished second place this year. This joins their 4th place in 2006, 3rd in 2005, and 4th in 2004. He and his team even got a nice write up in the Chicago Tribune, complete with a video.

I'm telling you, it is pretty stinkin' cool what those guys can do with a whole lot of ice and some chainsaws. Be sure to check out their work.

Pass The Dull Weekend

Their laugh was too loud
As I entered the subway
Must be the mustache.

A wreck out my door
I want to go check it out
But must finish this

Two weeks 'til spring break
I'm attending a conference
In the Black Forest.

It must be true love
Carrying your girlfriend home
Passed out on your back.

A killer offer
Might have set my summer plans
Road trip anyone?

Call It My Addiction

It has been a while since I've posted a photo for PhotoFriday. This week's theme is "addiction." The Turkish pistachio is one of mine.
By the way, my supply is out if someone wants to hook me up.
