Mid-Vacation Update
I’m in the middle of this year’s vacation to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. The best friend, Holly, came out with me this time, and she’s been meeting parrots. This picture was taken on my second shift, which was spent at Sinjin’s (the former HQ building) with miss Millie, who’s part of the biggest loser club […]

Moar Vacation Details
Thursday morning I was slated to try on some shirts for a presentation the store was doing at lunch, so I skipped the morning shift. That gave me the opportunity to tour Wild Friends and Parrot Garden. Parrots are still not my thing, but I think I want to take a Wild Friends tour every […]

Back In Kanab
It’s vacation time again! Spent Monday in Vegas at Aria, and got to spend some time with a friend I made on Bitnet. His SO gave us an awesome tour of Encore (he worked on it). It’s got sumptuous furnishings and an orthogonal layout (which is only notable because it’s a casino). Fun words I […]

Best Sleepover Evar
Went to Graz last week to help celebrate Holly’s birthday. Greg was out of town doing doctor-y things, so we had the place to ourselves. Speaking of which, I love the new place. Any time you get to live in a building that’s 150 years old and it has electricity and indoor plumbing, it’s a […]

October Is Crazy
The pic is Dis on my lap after I got home from San Francisco. And it’s also what I feel like right now. October is probably my favorite month of the year. It’s chock full of awesome. There’s the Renaissance festival and Halloween and the leaves turning. But it is also too damn busy. And […]

Thursday Recap
First something I forgot yesterday: Dr. Patty Iampetro came in to check on one of the cats in Benton’s while I was there, so I got to say hi. That’s the entire extent of what I said. She’s my fav from the show. She and John Garcia. But I’m sure she gets that all the […]

Wednesday Recap
Quick recap for yesterday. Fully intended to do it last night but was worn out. Morning spent at Benton’s in Niblet’s room. Brush beds, wipe surfaces, clean litter boxes, sweep, mop, wipe windows, and then dishes while Sasha supervised. I had no idea how many dishes a house like Benton’s can generate, since most of […]

Arrival in Kanab
I was trying to get a different perspective of the sign than last year’s. I ended up getting a lovely picture that highlights the Unimproved Road sign. Most of the pictures are / will be over on the Flickr stream.Today I had the fastest lunch EVER. Stopped at Cracker Barrel, thinking I had plenty of […]

Now In Smell-o-Vision
Okay. Not really. But I wish you guys could smell the hyacinth in the first picture. The ball behind it is water – a fountain in the Bellagio conservatory. Speaking of Bellagio, it’s looking a lot better. They’ve pulled all the broken flowers from the lobby. Dale Chihuly is visiting Saturday, so maybe they wanted […]

Quiet Weekend
Had a lovely pre-vacation weekend. The weather decided it was summer, which I could have used some warning about. (I’m sure the dogwood was thinking the same thing.) But it was beautiful out. Ate dinner with the folks and saw Bette’s interpretation of The Three Musketeers, which totally rocked. And dropped in at Commander Salamander […]
