We are back from Vegas, and let me tell you: it’s good to be home. One can only stand so much of the visual/moral assault – not to mention that not only did I have to be in my conference sessions all day, but also spend time with Laura as she wanted to explore several [...]

Laura and I will be travelling to Las Vegas Today. I’m going to attend a conference, while she’s going to hang out with me.

And I thought we were done with Winter! Anyhow: our flight back from Tampa [where we stayed with a friend after our Naples trip - and went to a hockey game] took a very long time. In fact, we were over six hours delayed due to bad weather. Funny thing, though: we were fine with [...]

Today was a great day. We arrived in Naples, FL last night and discovered that we were fairly tired. All that planning Laura did seemed not too important today when we just sat on the beach. We did a little swimming in the Winter water, though. That was… uh… refreshing? I just about froze my [...]
