The Comforts of Home

One of the things I miss the most in Vienna:

My piano...all the keys sound and it's in tune...wonderful.

Someone's Hero

There's nothing better than being able to come to the rescue of a friend in need. Even when it's small things like bringing words to mind or helping with the appropriate useage of apostrophes.

An Empty Sky Line

Orchards in Dinuba, California

Powerless

There's nothing more frustrating than finding yourself without the proper cords for one's electronic devices.

First as I'm packing to come to Dinuba I find myself without my camera battery charger (and I'm pretty sure I left it in Vienna).

Second as I'm in the car on the five hour drive to Fresno I find that I didn't bring my iPod cord...now I have to look forward to another five hour drive without music. Or worse, five hours of listening to ESPN...

And lastly, as I watch my laptop die last night, I realize that my power cord is still on the floor of my living room. Good thing Dad brought his laptop.

My Superstore of Choice

Unfortunately they didn't have the spandex shorts I was looking for so I can fit in when I'm running in the park.

Yes, Woolly Mammoths do still roam the hills of Southern California

Have I mentioned the dinosaurs that are a couple of acres over?

My Ride

My dad has been generous enough to loan me his truck for the month. It's really fun to drive. The only bad part is (aside from the gas mileage and the fact that it's the size of an U-bahn) is that it's automatic...so boring.
