Cincy Blues Fest 2012 Day 1 Welcome to O-HI-O!
The drive out of Chicago is always a nightmare. Traffic moves, but you just see one of every kind of possible disaster waiting to happen. And it takes so long! I think it was 2 hours to finally get out into the countryside and away from the cars and trucks.Then you have to follow I-65 […]

These Boots!
Sorry to say, but money burns a hole in my pocket. I had come into some extra money last summer and my first thought was I needed to get a pair of Windwalker boots. Rich had gotten a pair for his Ren Faire costume and he really liked the way they wear. The cool thing about […]

Recap of this week (June 17, 2012)
It was another hot one today. The last few days have been really adding up the heat. I think it’s Thursday evening now before they say it will be better. I like summer and the heat, but I’m really getting worried about what July will bring if it’s in the 90s now. I did voluntarily […]

Back in the saddle again
So I’ve almost put in a full week at work. My mind isn’t quite ready to accept the fact that I’m sitting at a desk and not out walking around a forested area somewhere. It seems unreal. I know I’ll get used to it. I just don’t want to. My minions did very well without […]

Vacation Day 14: Leaving for Las Vegas
Yes, Rich did happen to wake up today. Breakfast was at the IHOP attached to the hotel. Rich had a bad experience at an IHOP a long time ago, but it was the only thing close by. I had stuffed French toast, Rick had a bacon omelet, and Rich went for an omelet as well. […]

Vacation Day 7: Walking the Golden Gate Bridge
Yep, Rich woke up yet again today! Today was the first real 60 degree weather since the second day of our trip. The sun was shining down and the wind wasn’t quite so bad today. The plan for today was to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. Well, at least halfway across. Everyone else was […]

Vacation Day 5: Onward to Lake Tahoe
Rich reminded me that he woke up this morning. It was going to be a good day. This morning, we started off on another leg of the adventure called the Zurek Family Vacation. Today, we were heading into Lake Tahoe to look around and then to Placerville for a visit with Rich’s Aunt Fran and […]

Vacation Day 3: WTFwith the WiFi?
Sorry about not getting my post for Day 3 up. The hotel in Park City, UT had a horrible connection. Rich got his newspaper loaded on his Nook by standing in the doorway of the bathroom! It’s hard to image someone having a WiFi that only has one bar of strength. Leaving Cheyenne was cold […]

Vacation Day 2: Long and Winding Road
Day 2 is another driving adventure. We drove from Council Bluffs, IA to Cheyenne, WY. On Wednesday, the temperature was 92. Today, we never hit 70! I hope it gets better. I forgot to mention that Rick continually searches for great root beer. As Rich is tasting beers at brewpubs across the west, Rick is tasting […]

Just another day in the life of me
This was a pretty good week for me. The other day, I was standing in my closet trying to figure out what I felt like wearing. I usually dress based on my feelings. I guess I’m lucky that my job doesn’t require me to dress for business. I thought about my friend, Ramya, and decided […]
