It was about a 8 hour train ride from Prague to Stuttgart which was our next destination. Again my dad had some business to attend to and I was not going to argue since that business was in the Black Forest retreat of Baden Baden. This was another resort town founded by the Romans centuries […]

After 10 days, my mom had enough of my Dad and I, so she headed back to the States. My Dad had planned on staying with me the remainder of my trip and we were getting along well enough and it was going to be good to spending some time with him. We had a […]
My Euro Trip: Tegernsee
July 23, 2006 – 11:26 am
While I was in the Munich area, I was lucky enough to stay in the small resort town of Tegernsee for a few days. This is a pretty sweet place. It is a small village located on the banks of a beautiful sub-alpine lake. The town itself is located right on the Austrian border in […]

My Euro Trip: Quelle Challenge Roth
July 21, 2006 – 9:53 am
Those of you who have been around me over the course of the last six month know that I have not been my usual psychotic self when it comes to triathlon training. Usually when I am in Ironman mode, all I do is swim, bike, run, eat and sleep. This time around, I have had […]
My Euro Trip: Pre Race Week
July 20, 2006 – 9:47 am
This was probably the most relaxed I have ever been going into an Ironman distance race. Again for those of you not quite sure what an Ironman triathlon entails, it consists of a 2.4 mile swim (3.8k) 112 mile bike (180k) and a full 26.2 marathon (42k) all done in succession on the same day. […]

July 17, 2006 – 9:34 am
Well folks, I am back in the States and as usual, I can say that I am not too thrilled to be back. Every time I go overseas I somehow seem to find myself in the company of the coolest people on earth in the coolest place on earth. My recent three week trip to […]
Another day in paradise, or have I just lost my mind?
July 8, 2006 – 1:09 pm
If you ask anyone about me they will tell you that I am good at planning things. I am usually the one coordinating trips and adventures. I will be the first to admit that I have a regular tendancy to overlook things. Sometimes these oversights can be more of a problem than others. This 4th […]
9 languages?…um, Heck yes that’s what I said.
July 2, 2006 – 10:44 am
I recently put a little time in to install a module that allows machine translation into 9 different languages. Just wanted to let you all know. I am still messing with the format of how this will work, but the little flags in the sidebar will change our entries to your desired language. Also, I […]
Modern Art – WTF, The Met, Really Good Stuff
June 30, 2006 – 12:20 pm
In the great city of Manhattan, in the great park called City Park, there lies a great Museum, world renowned for its archetecture, the art and history it holds, and simply the history of the museum itself. This place is the metropolitan museum of art. Outside the museum there are all kinds of street vendors […]
