20 Feet From The Sun − 30 July, 2007
Posted by geezypete about 1 year ago 203 views
Traveled to Boise, ID on Sunday for a meeting with clients.  Quite surprisingly, Boise is about 10 million degrees, has no trees, no local cuisine, and people live there.  All four traits instantly reminded me of Fort Worth.  The highlights of the trip were 1) Watching an e...  read more
Red Sox 10, White Sox 3 − 20 July, 2007
Posted by geezypete about 1 year ago 251 views
Went to Fenway Friday and watched my second Red Sox game in 3 days. Not being from Boston and always fearful of being a late jumping bandwagon type of fan, I hesitate to say that I am a fan of the Red Sox fan. However, if they will let me join the Red Sox Army, I am on board. There is simply n...  read more

My cousin Fil took the camera and clicked a weekend's worth of pictures during my mini-holiday in Boston.  Some of the pictures are actually pretty good (road shot and field).  I suppose that being 4 feet tall helps when you are framing / centering scenes, but the kid has talent.

I had to travel to New York for work and decided to turn the rest of the week into a mini-vacation and see some family in Boston. Flew into Macarthur Airport on Tuesday night and the weather was so good that I was inspired to go running. Went to bed and woke up to a downpour. I talked to the...  read more

Temples in Japan − 19 August, 2006
Posted by geezypete over 2 years ago 322 views
Easily the most scenic day of our trip is when Gerry, our guide, took us to some religious temples in Japan. The temples themselves were fantastic and were covered in wonderful gardens. I hate to use the word "neat", but it was "neat" to see people expressing the own religio...  read more

Samurai Sword − 20 June, 2006
Posted by geezypete over 2 years ago 341 views
Along our travels through various tourist sites in Tokyo we stumbled across a Samurai Sword shop. The only employee was this old man who did not actually create the swords, but was more a sword polisher and sharpener. The place was very drab, but very clean and the swords were arrayed in gl...  read more
