Back in Aotearoa, which means “Land of the Long White Cloud” in Maori. It certainly deserves that moniker today. You’d think I was in London in spring or something.
After work tonight, I have a couple interesting things to tell about my trip. Check back soon for storytime.
UPDATE: Too tired to even eat; [...]
Thursday was a great day for us here. 2 items in particular were quite exciting. The first:
and the second:
UPDATE: Sorry for those that may not quite get the third picture. Here’s a hint. And if that doesn’t do it, this one should.
It’s been over two months and as is typical for a new house, it has taken some time to get settled in. You have to pick off rooms one by one until they’re something like you hoped them to be when you first envisioned the place.
The day after I got back from NZ, we [...]
Yes, you’re at the right site. At least I think you are.
I hope you like the new look. There’s a lot to be done yet, but it’s a start. I’m working on the style sheet, but I know it’s better already.
In the comments, let me know what you think or if you [...]
10 days is far too long between entries, but what can I say? I suck.
The Embassy Theater post is still coming, but I’m not sure when. Probably right after I get back to NZ since I’ll be feeling the LOTR vibe again. Especially since I’m flying Air New Zealand this time, not [...]
I’m in the San Francisco airport waiting for my flight to board in about an hour. Slept a bit on the flight from Sydney, but certainly feel off kilter time-wise.
I’ll be home by about 6 tonight, though I don’t imagine I’ll be doing much this weekend besides spending time with Gretchen. I still [...]
On my way home tomorrow morning. 4:15 AM taxi!! Ugh!
Here’s my schedule:
Air NZ #141, Departs Wellington 6:40 AM, Arrives Sydney 8:20 AM
United #870, Departs Sydney 1:50 PM, Arrives San Francisco 10:05 AM
Northwest #360, Departs San Francisco 12:20 PM, Arrives Minneapolis 5:55 PM
A long day. Strange how we arrive in San Francisco earlier [...]
Ever since Lord of the Rings came out, I have felt a bit like one of my personal little secrets was out of the bag. Having traveled to New Zealand 10 years ago and being awed enough to take 1500+ photos in less than 3 weeks, I knew first hand how beautiful it was [...]
I’ve been wondering why I have this luck with an internet signal in my apartment now when I haven’t had anything here for 2 weeks. I think I have figured it out.
The apartment management finally got around to getting me a TV this weekend. No biggie since NZ television is nothing to get [...]
I aim to please, so at the request of a loyal reader, here are a couple pictures not from New Zealand. It’s our dear Avery as the flower girl at a wedding a couple weeks ago, joined by Uncle Nathan.
