New Blog!!

NEW BLOG!!  Sid was here  ...www.sidwashere.blogspot.com

A travel related blog where I write about getting ready for upcoming trips, fun with Google Maps, and actually taking the trip. First few months will be posts leading up to my Argentina trip at the end of Feb through March.

I'm glad to report the posts won't be daily but periodic, possibly weekly as I tackle more travel related tasks!

See you there, thanks! -Sid.

Jan 1st Pic! - Curtain call

"Fin"

Well folks...that's it. The curtain call, the last show...err post. It's been a fun year of playing around with my camera and learning to take some fun pics. It's a bit hard to summarize one of the most well documented years of my life..."well" in terms of actually having had something to say most of the days, not in terms of the actual writing or quality of the pic's...but you already knew that! 

I wish I could say it was a Roller Coaster of a year, you know the Up's with the downs, but it was mostly a drive through Kansas (Flat). Nothing wrong with that. 2011 has a lot of fun things in store for me, starting with a great trip to Argentina (Travel Blog to follow), one if not two full marathons, some new ventures on the money front, and as usual, adventures that I might be able to recall even when I have dementia or Alzheimer's at the age of 119. I can just see senile 119 year old self reading this blog..."this guy writes like crap, and how much damn tapenade did he really eat while drinking wine!" 

Thanks for those who followed my adventures and for those who read them periodically. Have a great 2011...and trust me I'm really relived I don't have to take pic's every damn day! 

Dec 31st Pic!

"Toast to Bubbly"

20 minutes before the new years count down we popped champagne...I'm not a a fan but I realized the drink I'm accustomed to having approximately once a year barring any celebratory events is actually quite good if you get the good stuff! I picked up a 93 point rated Brut Champagne, not sure who the winemaker was but I'm loving the extra dry champagne...it was really really good. I was almost sad when it was done. Eva in the midst of drinking champagne realized she was pretty damn near the edge of starvation after having worked a 14hr shift, so we paired our champagne with some good ol' In-N-out to ring in the new years! hmmm...that kiss had some extra onion in it! :) 

"We pop champagne" 

Thank god...err Bill Gates for spell check, it's a life saver when you're complicating your blog with words like Champagne and complicate...
