Posted by: Onaxthiel: We hung out in Imagisme and Catalysts' apartment until they had both headed off to work. Luckily, this delayed our departure until the Boston traffic pattern had slowed down somewhat. The weather was quite cooperative for a day of seeing Revolutionary War sights. Our route was out towards Lexington and Concord, the two targets of British raids that triggered violent confrontations resulting in the War of Independence. I have to give a hand to the British infantry of the day. They marched 20 miles from Boston harbor, out to Concord, conducted searches of suspect homes, then a return 20 mile foot march, all in less than 24 hours, taking fire during the entire exfiltration. That would be quite painful. Truth be told, I imagine that I would barely be moving for the next ... read more

rhode islandChristoph HallI've been trying once again to keep up with blogging but there isn't a lot of time to do so. I usually write them in Notepad and then cut and paste them when I can get internet. Even then it can be difficult as everyone needs to check their e-mail etc.. Driving to Providence from NYC was pretty painless and were still driving on the vegoil that we picked up in that small town on the New York/Pennsylvania border. The bumpy NYC roads cracked the front windshield a little more and the already sketchy passenger side mirror had become an obstacle for NYC bicyclists that couldn't avoid it. I seemed about every 20 minutes or so a guy on a bike would ram his shoulder into the mirror while we were parked. The mirror ... read more

We welcome all our loyal subscribers to our second glob trotting adventure. South east Asia, mainly Thailand, has been a destination Aless has been anxious to visit for as long as I’ve know her. I suspect that if she had originally known my true motive for insisting we visit Peru two years ago, Machu Pichu would have remained a figment of my imagination. One of the most difficult issues about flying from North America to Asia is that you need to start so early in the morning. Most flights leave either from Chicago or LA (the two main departure points) leave in the late morning. The problem, of course, is that we live in neither of those cities. We found a good deal from Providence RI over to Chicago leaving at 6:30 AM, so we decided ... read more

SEUFER6: DESTINATION: NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND & MYSTIC CONNECTICUT Monday-February 26-Friday March 2, 2007 MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 2007 Today we woke up to 3-4 inches of snow. It snowed most of the morning. Jessica and Tanner needed to get caught up on school work so we decided to make it a stay home day. Boy they worked hard most of the day, so we decided to reward them by dropping them off at the game room in the clubhouse to play while Lilly and Emma had a nap. They played there for 2 hours and seemed to have fun. After they got home we decided to rent some movies and have pizza. The kids enjoyed the movie Lassie, while Ty and I watched an adult movie called Little Miss Sunshine. We had a nice family day. TUESDAY, ... read more
