In February of 2008, the combined Casper-Lochridge clan (all 6 of us) travelled to The Mayan Riveria for a week of ruins, sand, and exotic animals.

Adventures in un-foreign lands, Day 3
Posted in Adventures on September 9, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
We woke up on our first morning in Vancouver excited to see the aquarium. With the closures of the previous day, we were afraid the aquarium would be closed, but a quick visit to their website assured us that the aquarium would be open. We left the hotel, had a quick breakfast at an alleged [...]

Day 2, Part 1
We awoke on day two in a single story house outside just of Seattle. We got up, showered and dressed, and helped my uncle make breakfast. As we finished eating, my aunt rose and joined us. We took a quick morning trip to a nearby park which they like for bird [...]

Day One of our trip started out normally. We woke up, showered, dressed, had bagels for breakfast. With all of the things that needed to be loaded into the car; dishes to be washed, or at least placed in the dishwasher; cats instructed to mind their behavior while we were gone; etc, we didn’t hit [...]
Wherein Nature has it in for me and life becomes exceedingly busy

Dear readers,
I haven’t written to you much because life has become quite busy
these last weeks of summer.
I’ve been finishing up a couple of
projects at work, and just when I think I’ve got them done,
another thing pops up. It’s a little bit like trying to fit an
octopus into a shoebox – sure, it will go, as [...]

Emerald Photographic Society had our first official field trip of the season today – Thanks Jeff, for planning it and getting all of us out there.
It started out well – aside from not sleeping until 4 hours before I needed to be up. I made it there right on time, we had a good-sized group [...]

Today the Mister and I ventured out to the Scottish Festival on River Road. We got a late start waiting for the hot water heater to generate enough for two showers, and arrived just in time for the doggie parade, which, sadly, I didn’t get any decent pictures of.
What I did get, however, was a [...]

A group of Pagans in Albemarle County, Va., was recently given permission to advertise their multi-cultural holiday program to public school children – and they have the Rev. Jerry Falwell to thank for it
Evidently, one of the parent’s in the district lobbied (with the help of Falwell’s legal group, Liberty [...]
The Magic of Creativity

So I took myself out to my car on break this morning, partly to make a phone call to my bank, and partly to go and fume about the latest corporate BS email. While I was sitting there trying very hard to remember the new password that the bank phone agent had given me, The [...]
Missus

Well, it went exactly the way everyone said it would. Which means no-one else noticed the various mistakes and goof-ups we made.
What went wrong:
I don’t think anyone noticed the lack of punch. There was still water and sparkling cider for anyone who didn’t want wine – although the cider was gone before we got [...]
