Hanging out at the RCC

-
I'm sure that I'll be able to post a few more Atlantis photos in the next week. In the meantime, I am off to the Middle East and passing time at the RCC at Concourse D in DC. I worked, really I did for the last 3 hours and now I can't take it anymore. I have vacation brain and it's time to blog. What to blog about? Travel of course. I made it here without delay. Woo-hoo! What did I do last night in the 45 minutes between getting home and falling asleep? Booked more travel.

Yes, more travel. Someplace exotic? No. Fun? For sure No. I am going to spend a day in Raleigh to cook chicken. That's all you need to know for now. I'm flying coast-to-coast for this purpose the third week of March. St. Patty's Day? Driving to LAX to stay in a hotel. I may have to get there early to have a pint.

Speaking of pints, I have to confess that I have not been drinking other than the odd beer in the Bahamas. I have been to busy to go out and beer tastes better with friends. Even the Kalik which was okay almost did not get finished but the waiter was having none of that and told me to finish my beer.

Where or where are you Oatmeal Stout?

I'm sure there will be a lag now between posts but next time it's from Dubai.

    I'm ready for a Guinness, but it might make my headache worse. Why did you delete one of your comments from my blog?

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

-
Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...

COASTAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISHCOLUMBIA - AND ALASKA....THE TSUNAMI WARNING AND WATCH STATUS IS CANCELED FOR CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISH COLUMBIA - AND ALASKA... It's good to know that today's media is so excited for another tsunami, that newscasters managed to panic coastal residents for thousands of miles. My neighbor came rushing out her house to call out "tsunami" in 3 hours! She was ready to evacuate. We could not convice her that while we are near the beach, it is a good mile away, with a major freeway inbetween us and a nice rolling hill. She was still ready to go to higher ground, bathrobe and all. Luckily, the Weather Channel has announced the cancellation of the alert. I guess I can sleep now and not have to worry about being washed away.

Calgary, Canada - The Starfleet Experience

Image
Against all odds, the Star Trek Starfleet Academy Experience was in Calgary the same time as me! It was interactive with games, Klingon language lessons, and the Kobayashi Maru exam. All of it is to test what area you'll be admitted into Starfleet. Entrances are timed to reduce wait time to do the activities and it never felt crowded. Here's my image getting ready to beam up. And if this plays correctly, it's my actual beam up. Turns out I'm Uhura and bound for Communications!
