This will be us when we visit Steven's mom. We got three inches or so of snow on Sunday night/Monday morning and the temps have stayed in the mid-20s. Oh boy, I love Chicago. Despite our best efforts, we just couldn’t figure where to go abroad for winter break. Everything was very expensive and the trips …
Author: Steven
I am a money grubbing capitalist pig, but actually not very good it. I am 20 lbs overweight, but go the gym reasonably often. I have absolutely no concept of how hard the things I want to do are…until I have agreed to do them. I've got a couple of adult kids who live far away and a career that has me sitting at a desk all day.
Things is like: baseball, a really good gin & tonic, my convertible, and warm weather.
Things I am not so keen on: heights, overpriced food and having nothing to do.
Holiday travels
I was all geared up for the usual drama of air travel on the day before Thanksgiving. I had checked the weather forecast--no snow (except it was snowing, just a bit). I checked the news for anything related to traffic snarls or huge waits at security--I saw nothing out of the ordinary. So, of course, …
Oh, Great….It is Snowing
Beware of the Ides of November....because you may get snow!!! UGH!!!!! I can't believe that it is snowing. Now I know what you are thinking...how does this relate to travel? Well, dear readers, the answer is because I need to figure out how to travel the hell out of Chicago for any month that has …
Little Victories
As you all recall from our last episode, I had a somewhat trying trip from Charlotte to Chicago last Friday. If you don't remember, here is the link. Today, I pulled myself together and wrote a very nice, concise letter to American Airlines customer service. I figured what the hell, nothing wagered nothing lost. I …
Just a Bit of a Delay
I was traveling for work last week. Chicago to Charlotte on Tuesday night, then back home on Friday. The outward bound flight was nice and smooth; Chicago O'Hare was surprisingly crowded, but security moved quickly and the flight was on time. The flight home was another story. I was flying American Airlines from Charlotte to …
The Wedding weekend
Oops, this fell of the radar and didn't get published. Better late than never! I know that it isn't quite travel related, but I figured I would bend the rules and write about our wedding. Our travel related posts will be on Saturday, when we will live from New York. Sue & I tied the …
The hiatus was longer than I expected
We apologize, we truly meant to restart the blog as soon as the wedding was over, but the next week or so was a bit of a whirlwind and so here we are, married for 18 days and still haven't updated the blog. We are slackers. In our defense, we are also honeymooners, so there …
We are on hiatus
We are going on hiatus for a couple of weeks. Our wedding is about two weeks away and we just don't have the time to post right now. We will return to our usual Wednesday and Saturday schedule the week of October 15th with a recap of our honeymoon trip to New York. Thanks for …
It Was a Busy Few Days
Last weekend, as I have previously written, was a baseball weekend with Josh. On Friday night, we went to Milwaukee and had great seats. We sat in the third row just off to the third base side of home plate. We were so close, we could almost reach out and touch the guys in the …
September Baseball
Yup. Another post about the best game in the world. Baseball. For those of you who missed the last installment of as the baseball spins, I will bring you up to date. Our intrepid baseball stadium travelers (Josh & Steven) visited Pittsburgh's PNC Park in August to get to the midway mark in the stadium tour(*). …
