California trip, Part 2
After my earlier wanderings in California, and my adventures at Wheel of Fortune, we tried to figure out a good spot to eat lunch. We decided on the Stinking Rose, a “garlic-themed” Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills. We made our way over there (through traffic, of course!) and it took awhile to find somewhere to…

2009 Staycation, Part 3
Part 3 of the great 2009 Staycation! (Part 1 and Part 2) Saturday and Sunday we hung out at my parents house. For some reason we didn’t really take any pictures, so…. sorry! Saturday we had some friends of ours (the Olmsteds and Broadbents) that had moved from Cincinnati to Cleveland over for a BBQ.…

EFC
So one of the things that they do at work is offer occasional lunch seminars. They have a free lunch and have various topics. Some are interesting, and some I just go for the free lunch. Okay, that’s a lie – I go to all of them for the free lunch. But nevertheless, some of…

Lasik / Counties
Well it’s been one week since my LASIK surgery. Things are going very well. At the one week timeline, I guess I can stop using my drops, though I will probably still use them till they run out. I have stopped wearing my goggles at night and I guess I can rub my eyes and…

It’s blue baby!
That’s (part of) my map from the county counting website. Click it if you want to see the full-size picture. It’s pretty big which is why I just linked to it. Most importantly, the Ohio section is awful blue. EFC BABY!

Prepping for the Tour
It will likely be next Saturday or the Saturday after that for the big 50 mile Tour de Madeira. I haven’t ridden much lately, just due mostly to time constraints. I went out for a ride this afternoon and it went fairly well. I had talked some with PJ this week to try and coordinate…

EFCK
No, that’s not a swear word up there! A few weeks ago, a co-worker of mine suggested, in the vein of EFC, that I should visit every Wal-Mart in Ohio. After a bit of searching, I came across this pretty cool map – it lists the location of every Wal-Mart in Ohio. I started trying…

Why do you think they call them counties?
That’s right, folks. Not content with my madness on visiting all 88 Ohio counties in 24 hours, I have endeavored to find routes to visit all the counties in other states in 24 hours.
