Before I hurt my knees, I had planned a ski trip to Sun Peaks, Canada with a group of friends. Since I’m not one to let a “little” detail like two busted up knees ruin my vacation, I signed myself up for a dog-sled ride instead.
My friends dropped me off…crutches and all. The [...]

While aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln for a six day cruise from Oahu to San Diego, this picture was taken on the ‘bow’ at about 26-30 knots??
I’m not sure who those idiots are but it sure pissed the ‘air boss’ and ‘handler’ off….
The ‘Air Boss:’
The ‘Handler’ —who was a very cool guy and probably has [...]

So I went to Virginia Beach for a visit with my bff who moved there last March…This was my third trip to see her in the past year and a half, and it was just a quick trip. I flew in on Thursday and headed to Chicago for work on Sunday.
I had to entertain myself on Friday because [...]
You better Belize it!

One of the things my bff brought with her on this trip was a CD with pictures from our trip to Belize earlier this year. As I was looking at them, it all came back to me…so even though this happened awhile ago, I couldn’t resist ‘talking up’ the trip because it was truly one of the coolest [...]
Podunk Idaho
Posted in Outdoors, Vacations, fishing on Sunday, July 6, 2008 | 7 Comments »
I spent the past week in Idaho doing my favorite kind of fly-fishing:
-Small creeks
Miles and miles of creeks that don’t get too much fishing pressure because they’re not easily accessible at elevations between 6000 and 8000 feet…(My fishing bud TP is the red shirt in this pic):
The snow melt/runoff has been ‘late’ this year so [...]

-Blah-ha! “Sake-Bomb Riley!” Click on pic and ‘try’ to read my shirt (the ‘bromance’ begins):
-Skinny-dip and Cigars?
