THE coffee cup
Sunday, October 4th, 2009

We always hit the Coffee Cup in Nelsonville on the way out of Athens, Ohio, and it never disappoints.

we failed to find the witch’s grave
Monday, May 25th, 2009

Well, the directions to the grave in West Branch State Park in Ohio were not bad. We took the asphalt trail to the left, where Porter Road takes a sharp right, and we found the first trail on the right, but we did not find the stones marking the grave just into the woods about [...]

the art was nice

The Allen Museum of Art in Oberlin is quite nice, actually. The only wifi I saw in town is not worth mentioning, however.

a case for the universal remote

If I ever get an olde tyme truck, I’m totally painting it like that. No, really. Totally. No… Anyway, South Park is on the hotel cable, and I don’t have cable at home.

catching up
Monday, November 10th, 2008

I didn’t get the chance to send this before, but that’s the World of Coca-Cola museum. If you’re a fan of Coke or Americana or both, it’s well worth the $15 admission. If you’re not, then never mind. One word of advice: don’t try the Beverly. Truly the worst taste I’ve ever… well, tasted.

It was a beautiful wedding. Truly. Play that funky music, white boy.
