I managed to pull myself away from the poker long enough to keep my promise of posting today. I was getting sick of all the donks bad beating me anyways, so it is a welcomed hiatus. I had some motivation calling me in the fridge as well – lamb that I picked up at the [...]
I lied! I said that I would be back yesterday with a post, but alas I got sidetracked and didn’t get to making one, and I have lots of stuff I want to write about to boot. The reason for my delinquency is that I have started playing some online poker again. I found a [...]
I don’t know who started it, but it is a great idea! Officially today is Shrove Tuesday, but it is more well known as Pancake Day here. Why? Because you eat pancakes on it! Wanting to blend in and adopt the local customs, we decided that this was a tradition we could sink our teeth [...]
Ah, memories of rainbow-suspendered, hairy-chested aliens from Ork are all rushing back to me….. Oh, sorry. Got a little distracted there. Let’s get back to the purpose of this post – our trip to York yesterday.
Yesterday, after three months of talking about it, we finally headed to York for the day. The forecast was for [...]
Well, not much new to report since the Prague journey, but I am trying not to leave it too long between posts. The lady and I have been under the weather for the last few days and so I have taken it as an opportunity to catch up on some movies that have been piling [...]
Oh man I am good! Czechmate! Haha. I got plenty more where that came from too. I am not sure if you have caught on to my comedic genius, but what I am doing is replacing the word “check” with “Czech” in various phrases to come up with witty titles. I know, it is advanced [...]
First off, I wish I could take credit for the clever title of this post, but I can’t as it was plastered on t-shirts all over Prague and if anyone ever went there then they would know I was stealing it, so there is no point in trying. Next, Prague is a fantastic city and [...]
It’s going to be a short one today I think. I am a little tired from walking downtown and back, about 4 hours round-trip it ended up being. I had to go get a haircut and some currency exchanged and I figured I would bring my camera along just in case. I wasn’t in a [...]
While a fan of Star Wars, I am by no means an expert, and so, whether Darth Vader was a sith lord (should it be Sith Lord? is it a title like the President?) or not, I do not know. I am sure someone will correct me if he was not. I could probably look [...]
My, oh my! Am I becoming a good husband-to-be or what? Today, I decided to try my hand at baking – for the first time ever pretty much. Cindy and I have come to an agreement that I am the cook and she is the baker. However, with her being gone most of last week [...]
