Meet Craig Bido

( family and travel and fun )

Above: Craig Bido catches some shuteye
A couple of weeks ago, Craig Bido (Bee-doe) attended a wedding of someone who was from Oil City, Pennsylvania.  Bido and I crossed paths around 2:30 a.m. in the stairwell of the Arlington Hotel in Oil City, where the wedding reception was held.
You see, my family gathers every few years […]

Napa and My Bad Back

( family and travel and fun )

So Napa was a great time. We stayed at the Best Western “Inn by the Vines.” When my father inquired as to where the vines are, they directed him to the fence that separated the hotel from a Shell station. Here are the vines:

Here are vines from an actual vineyard at Goosecross […]

Just Arrived in Napa Valley

( travel and fun )

Twice in two days on Freeway 41 I get to watch someone flash their lights to pass. Is this a new thing that no one made me aware of, that it’s now a cool thing to do? After picking up my brother and Deidra, who had both had some drinks, I drove us […]

K.I.T.T to be a Mustang?!

( old school and family and television and fun )

This doesn’t make me very happy. The new Knight Rider TV show is going to feature a Mustang. I bet my brother Josh isn’t real fond of the idea either. Here he is, in the Knight Industries Two Thousand.

I personally think that they should stick with the original Firebird/TransAm. Or an even […]

This reminds me of you

( food and fun )

Brian Poulin calls 911 because of a beer emergency.

Everything Amanda

( food and friends and fun )

My friend Manda never really writes just to say hi.  But occasionally I’ll get emails from her out of the blue.  Like once, she sent me a series of pictures of herself with no real explanation.  I liked one of the pictures so much I made it my wallpaper on my computer, which got a […]

Dios Mio, Cerveza de Costa Rica!

( travel and fun )

In 1995, I spent a bit of time in Costa Rica as a mandatory component of my studies at Goshen College. While there, we drank a lot of beer, specifically Imperial. We drank a lot of Pilsen too. I’m not sure how much “a lot” is, but I do know that my […]

Justin Wine Society - Always a Good Time

( family and Taco Bell and food and friends and travel and fun )

A week ago today I headed to Paso Robles with my family, add Deidra, add Short on Saturday and subtract Jonathan Oswald. Angie couldn’t make it because she took another vacation to Illinois. Short hired the homeless guy from my alley to dog sit. We headed to Paso because Justin Winery was having their member […]

Another Trip to Ventura

( food and friends and travel and miscellaneous and fun )

I spent the last weekend in Ventura working with Dan in an attempt to build an online coupon empire.  Friday I got to hold Ava, and I may even make her blog if I’m lucky.  As I was holding her, Dan and Marlene took approximately 80 photos in the span of 4 minutes, so now […]

Sheesh! Where have I been?!

( food and news and sports and family and friends and entertainment and television and miscellaneous and travel and fun )

Seriously, not a single post since April 21st, and that wasn’t even a very good one.  It’s not like I’m so busy that I can’t be troubled to write a couple of sentences on my weblolg.  I’m not off saving the world or anything.  Since April 21st, this is some of what I’ve been doing […]
