I got back from Europe on Friday evening. Last night was Nina’s wedding. I’m still pretty exhausted, but I will try to tell more about my trip soon.

Leaving for Europe
5/15/2008 – 11:06 pm
I figured this might be my last post before I headed out for Europe. I will be extremely busy with the packing/wedding stuff going on in the next few days, but I wanted to post and let you all know where I will be headed. Andy and I finally laid out our itinerary and it looks something like this:
- Mon. May 19: Leave St. Louis for Rome
- Tues. May 20: Arrive in Rome.
- Wed. May 21: Rome
- Thur. May 22: Pisa/Florence
- Fri. May 23: Florence/Travel to Venice
- Sat. May 24: Venice
- Sun. May 25: Milan
- Mon. May 26: Nice/Cannes
- Tues. May 27: Marseille/Travel to Paris
- Wed. May 28: Paris
- Thurs. May 29: Paris
- Fri. May 30: Return to St. Louis from Paris
We finished making reservations at all of the hostels this evening. The total for our room and board comes in under $300 per person. We tried to avoid all of the places which had comments describing hookers or drunk guys staring at you as you slept, but even so, if we don’t come back know that we loved you all very much. This is going to be awesome!
Pretty Much My Life Is Better Than Yours Right Now
8/7/2006 – 6:05 pm
I’m currently listening to: The sound of rain falling in the Rockies
As the title says, pretty much my life is better than yours right now. Basically I’m chilling in my hotel room after a fine morning of fishing in the half light of the canyon as the sun crept over the Rockies. Here are some pictures of my exploits.
I’ll see you kids on Saturday.

Summer Is Almost Over
7/31/2006 – 7:44 pm
I’m currently listening to: Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde - 4th Time Around
I keep telling myself that when school starts I will begin to post in this blog more often. I have a theory of why the posts seem to stop when summer rolls around. Essentially, most of the people I care about are in constant communication with me during the summer. I see my best friends almost every day (or at least every week). As a result, I don’t feel the persistent urge to explain my life’s happening on the Internet. I guess this is a little unfair, as some people might not live in St. Louis (which can only be seen as a blessing for them). Unfortunately, I don’t really feel like typing very much right now. I’m really just wasting time for Curtis to let me know whats going on tonight.
I really haven’t been up to much lately. I just work a lot, and then work when I get home on different projects. I can’t say that I’m unhappy with this though, I really enjoy the work I’ve been doing. At the end of this week I leave for Colorado, on my highly anticipated family vacation. I know, you’re all envious.

I’m no good at blogging.
7/2/2006 – 9:45 pm
Sorry guys, this whole blogging thing has been more than a failure this summer, its been a fiasco. Generally, when I am not writing entries, I at least check my blog and notice that I haven’t posted in a while. This summer, I have been so busy that I don’t even sit down at my computer very much, let alone check for comments or anything. I guess thats what having a job that puts you in front of a computer screen for 40 hours a week does to you. Oh well, I don’t really feel very bad, considering most people are normally trying to get me off the computer anyways. I did, however, purchase a new monitor, a VX2025WM. Its a 20″ widescreen display, so I can pretty much just buy a TV tuner and have a 20″ HDTV in my room. It should get here by next Friday.
Unfortunately (or not so unfortunately), I won’t be around to accept this beauty, because I am doing the recreation for children’s camp this summer. It should be a wonderful excuse to get outdoors and take a break from RadTech. I am really looking forward to the fun times that will come from it. In addition to this fine use of my week, I will be traveling down to the Lake of the Ozarks as soon as I get back into town with Pat, Jen, AJ, Ross, and the Wilson Family. Good stories will definitely follow.
At any rate, I’m already sick of writing in this thing, so I’ll see all of you later, hope your summers are going well.
