Jim & Carl & Nightfall
On Wednesday my buddy Jim Guthrie passed through town; we went to watch “A Carl Miller Performance” over at St. Andrews Methodist Church (literally in the shadow of Highland Park Baptist Church). And last night I went to the second night of NightFall, featuring Ellis Hook and the always-entertaining cavalcade of friends and acquaintances that…

Song of the Cicadas
I never realized how dangerous cicadas can be. This year marks the emergence of the 17-year cicadas (I know, “not yet legal”), and when Priscilla and I went hiking last week we saw and heard many cicadas; here’s a QuickTime movie!

Back home!
I made it back to Red Bank, Tennessee, after only 30 hours of travel on Friday. I slept most of the weekend to recuperate, and Monday I go back to work. I’m hoping to have more Australia pictures on here within the next few days!

Pix and Brisbane
I’ve uploaded a sampling of pictures of our trip so far – just a fraction of what I’ve taken to date. Beautiful weather here in Brisbane. Tomorrow (Thursday) is our last full day in Australia before we head home on Friday.

Touring Queensland
We’re here in Brisbane. What a nice city! Spent the day touring Queensland today, including seeing Steve Irwin manhandle crocs in person. Here’s a link to some pics King has posted so far. More info later (we’re standing on a street corner in downtown Brisbane right now with our PowerBooks leeching off someone’s wireless Internet…

Sydney, in the Rocks
Well, we’re sitting in a pub in the Rocks section of Sydney, waiting for a tasty meal. Fortunately this pub has free wireless internet access, allowing us to connect with our PowerBooks and upload/download mail. Here’s a picture to tide y’all over until I can properly update this site with my trip.

Going to Australia
The Great Adventure Begins… Well, I’m heading off to Atlanta and then Los Angeles and then Sydney, Australia, and then Brisbane and then back to Los Angeles, to Atlanta, and finally back home to Chattanooga. I’m hoping to have some updates while my vacation with King is still in progress, but we’ll see! You can…

back to blogger
Ok, then. I’ve switched back to Blogger from my earlier attempts at using iBlog. A large part of my reason was simple convenience, as well as seeing how well Blogger worked on Dan’s web site re-design.

Third Day In San Francisco Today I rested, and then wandered around Golden Gate Park and Haight Street. Another beautiful day in SanFran! Oh, and here are a couple little videos I shot: By The Lighthouse and Cello Music on Haight Street.

SF 2004, Day 2
Second Day In San Francisco On Sunday, King, Gwen and I travelled to Point Reyes to see the Lighthouse. Pictures are available. (Note that I’m just adding on new pictures after the older ones, instead of creating a new section for each day.)

SF 2004, Day 1
First Day In San Francisco On Saturday, after sleeping like the dead, I went with King to the waterfront near the Ferry Building. Then, we grabbed some tasty burgers at Burgermeister, met up with Gwen back at the house, and, after I had a long nap, we went to see American Splendor at the Red Vic Movie House.…

A Hop, Skip, and Jump…
A Hop, Skip, and Jump… After only 12 hours of travel, I fell – or more like crashed – asleep this morning around 2 am, California time. I left Chattanooga Friday at 3:30 pm EST on the Express Shuttle to Atlanta. I had a nice chat with the Express van driver (whose name I’ve now forgotten) – I…

Christmas 2003
My brother Scott came to town from his nest in Kansas City and my mom travelled up from Fort Oglethorpe to spend Christmas Day at my house in Red Bank. We had a nice time.

Christmas Carolling
Following in tradition of years past, Carla & Kenny/Kenneth/Sir Ken Pritchard had a combination Christmas Party/Birthday Party for their son Cameron. In addition to tasty treats and fun chats, most of us from the party went carolling by the light of candles, wandering down Fair St (and some of Berkely) singing Christmas Carols to the…

Taking the pulse
Tonight I had fun hanging out with the staff of the Chattanooga Pulse – the new weekly paper that debuted only a couple weeks ago! I salute Zach, Mike, Bill, and Eric for taking the leap of faith and making their dream real. Check it out – racks of Pulses are more and more places…

trying iBlog
Ok, now I’ve implemented iBlog (instead of using blogger.com) to generate my blogs. Here’s hoping it leads to more (and perhaps even better) updates.

The Office Party
Last night some friends gathered at my house to watch the entire first season of the hit British comedy “The Office.” It was a lot of fun – in addition to chatting with each other and watching 6 episodes back-to-back and eating fish and chips, I even had a drawing for a couple office prizes:…
