Make An Assessment: London Pass

Now that I've told you almost everything about our two weeks on the other side of the Atlantic ocean (except for, I guess, some of the lodging food, but that could still come up soon; not like, regurgitation, it's long since digested, but like, I might still do a post on it), I want to...

Time Well Spent in London

London is a remarkably easy city to navigate, which, coming from me, is saying something because I'm so directionally challenged that I can't find my way around the city I grew up in. Many of the most notable monuments and attractions are within easy walking distance, but even when walking isn't the best option, the... Continue Reading →

A Weekend in Paris

Happy Flamingo Day! While you enjoy a bird-shaped cookie or a pink margarita, have a read about our adventures in Paris (which were, unfortunately, entirely devoid of flamingos). After just a couple days in London, it was time for the next chapter in our trip: a quick trip over (or rather under) the channel to... Continue Reading →

I can't pinpoint exactly when my fascination with England began, but it was sometime in my early childhood, around when I first started to grasp the concept that there were other places in the world beyond my little pocket of rural central Missouri. I consumed a lot of fantasy as a child (both in story... Continue Reading →

Easter Egg Hunting for Nerds

A few months ago, Kalen ordered some UV flashlights off Amazon. He needed them for work to check some kind of coating on specialty circuit boards they were making, but he has often found that it is more efficient to order things for work from personal accounts and have the company reimburse him. So of... Continue Reading →

Tempus Fugit

A year ago today was my last day of formal employment and I thought I'd take a few minutes to reflect on the year it's been. As always seems the case, the past year seems both surprisingly short and exhaustingly long. On the one hand, I can't believe it's been a whole year since I... Continue Reading →
