(I totally screwed up leading up to this trip, you see, having planned to do many more teaser posts. And I have no excuse for it, as this trip had been in the works for months. Hopefully I’ll make up for it in the travelogue.)
Day 01
The first day of any trip isn’t especially thrilling travelogue material. Or maybe it just takes a far more talented author than myself to make going through the TSA line at the airport something filled with thrills, chills and excitement.

Hey all – Just a quick post here. Sorry.
I’m still in Vancouver, playing tourist now that we’ve been to all the events we had tickets for. Lots to say but, unfortunately, I’ve come down with a cold. I’m currently draining like the Mississippi and coughing with such force it feels like being punched in the chest.
So a long post just isn’t gonna happen. Heck, I’m not even going to reply to comments (which I always do) on the last couple of posts until I get back.

So, I’m sure all have guessed by now, but just in case, clues 3, 2 and 1…
All of which leads to…

(I’m a bit hesitant to post this so soon after evil V-Day (apologies to those who celebrate, but if you’re single, it pretty much is, ya know?). There’s actually no relation, first draft was done in Mid-January. Ah, well…)
For most of my time on the planet (well, past puberty, anyway), I’ve always found members of the opposite sex who were pretty close to my age to be the most attractive.
Admittedly, that’s no great revelation, is it? I mean, duh right? What you may or may not find unusual is that I usually tended not only to prefer who were my age, but often skewed 4 or 5 or so years older. Although it made me a bit of an odd duck amongst the guys in some ways (that’ll happen when one is 18 and making eyes at a 25 year old (“Duuuuude! She’s almost thirty!)), it didn’t bug me, as most of my truly close friends tended to be a few years older anyway. This we mostly explained through the whole only-child thing: I was used to hanging out with adults when I was a kid, so when I was in college and my twenties, I naturally gravitated towards older friends and older (if you will) women. My fellow freshmen didn’t hold my interest.

So, you may all have noticed that, for a blog supposedly about hiking as well as general geekery, there hasn’t been a whole lot of hiking posts of late.
The reason is simple: I haven’t been hiking.
Why? Oh, I’m so glad you asked…

A friend of mine recently got married, a fact which makes me unbelievably happy.
I got a voicemail from her the other day, the first in several months, and it was quite unlike anything I’d ever heard before. There was a change. Something different.
I must admit, it was really quite striking.

Just a quick question on a Friday: do any of my wonderful, talented readers know Adobe Illustrator?
I took a class several years ago, but I find myself a bit rusty and in need of some help…
Whatever the case, have a great Friday!

So, here’s my little experiment. I’m going to add comments as I watch the show; if any idea intrigues you, feel free to add to it.
(And if it bores you all to tears, I’ll try to blog something more interesting soon! :))
