I am stuck out in Atlanta for a few days for work, trails and tribulations of working int eh USA. Today was a long day, 5 hour flight then basically worked a full day! I managed to call the wife. Today was day 2 at college for her, sounds like it is going ok :) Smurf is studying a ton of stuff Maths, Physics, Physcology.... It looks pretty packed, she is in college everyday....

Hmmm....I wonder if I will go back to an apartment full of cushions and scented candles? She has been threatening me :) I think she may just drink all the wine and eat all the coco-pops!

I am nearly done reading "Touching the Void" - in short, if you have not read it then do so! It is gripping. I have only put it down so I have something to read at the airport tomorrow!

The weekend was great! Smurf and I met with other friends in Golden Gate Park on sat morning and played another 9 holes of golf, this time in day light! I did a lot better then on Friday. Then we went home and cleaned up in order to head out for the 8th annual dive bar pub crawl in San Francisco. We were a few hours late and everyone seemed.... very happy...

In short it was a RIOT! So much fun in the The Mint Karaoke bar and Zeitgiest - a SFO must go to bar. We caught the pumpkin train home (midnight)- the Train driver was on form "You will have to do better then tat Batman an Robin" We wish we know what he was talking about! The folk seating in our carrige were fun too. It was more like a party train :)

We went to Bay Meadows race track on Sunday and watch some horses race. That was fab! We even cycled up there, it seemed up hill both ways witha head wind both ways.... Very crazy. When we got to the track we even place a cople of bets, we though one came in, but then it was pointed out we did not know anything about betting and we had not won anything.

I came to the conclusion that I like doing anything that involves sitting in a grandstand seat and drinking beer:

Horse racing
Baseball
Basketball
Ice Hockey
Football
That American egg throwing game aka Football

I think I could just sit in a grandstand watch paint. If I could drink beer at the same time...


Smurf was a good lass and did not drink. Well, she did not get a beer but she kept trying to drink mine! Cheeky I tell thee.

Anyhoot - I thought I would use my time wisely here in Atlanta. Now my work is done and my body is still on west coast time, I thought I would spend some time and carry out some maintanence on the Blog. For those of you who are too lazy to hunt around and see what...

- Changed where I live
- Added the 2 potential Tahoe resorts to "My Snow"
- Added XKCD to the the links
- Fixed Ad-trip link

So there you go!

I am now going to climb into bed and watch some commercials on TV....

A simple question for y'all....  

Kirkwood

or

Northstar

I am erring towards Kirkwood at the moment....

Answers on a postcard......

Ah, random Fridays, I love them. We were meant to go to Santa Cruz tonight, but as Neil-a-tron could not make it we decided to go to the local park movie night thing. But we found out it was going to be full of rug rats....uuurrgghh..... NO THANKS! Kate suggested we should go hit some golf balls. Turns out to be a STERLING idea! We met John and Yolanda, that are a fantastic couple, and we played golf at sunset with floodlights, see the vid for details!!!!
