A Day Trip to Vail

Working for a company where I have to periodically visit places like Vail, Colorado, is so taxing. A rough life, this definitely is.

Please enjoy.

“‘Tis the night – the night
Of the grave’s delight,
And the warlocks are at their play;
Ye think that without
The wild winds shout,
But no, it is they – it is they.”

Boo!

<Silence>

Me: It’s really quiet tonight

<Silence>

Me: Riley?

<Ghostly sounds>

Me: You’re making echoes in the bathroom again, aren’t you?
Riley: Maybe

 

Quote of the Day 29-Oct-2014: On The Veil Between Worlds

“It’s said that All Hallows’ Eve is one of the nights when the veil between the worlds is thin – and whether you believe in such things or not, those roaming spirits probably believe in you, or at least acknowledge your existence, considering that it used to be their own. Even the air feels different on Halloween, autumn-crisp and bright.”

In Which We Are Almost Back To The Future

Marty McFly: where are you now? People have wondered for decades now when Marty McFly will make himself known to the world. People have wondered when he will appear in his DeLorean, straight out of 1985.

Well, okay, maybe not. But, people have wondered when we would have hoverboards. My friends, the time is nigh. They do exist, and with a little financial backing via Kickstarter, Hendo will make them commonplace!

Me: Yes.

“It’s not what you did, son. It’s who you did it too.”

I’m not a huge fan of Keanu Reeves. His movies can be fun, but generally speaking the only character he seems to do really well is Neo from the Matrix.

That said, don’t piss him off.

Minor spoilers below the trailer, as always.

“Halloween was confusing. All my life my parents said, ‘Never take candy from strangers.’ And then they dressed me up and said, ‘Go beg for it.’ I didn’t know what to do! I’d knock on people’s doors and go, ‘Trick or treat.’ ‘No thank you.'”

Quote of the Day 24-Oct-2014: On Learning Your Craft

Mr George R R Martin of Game of Thrones fame

“I believe that a writer learns from every story he writes, and when you try different things, you learn different lessons. Working with other writers, as in Hollywood or in a shared world series, will also strengthen your skills, by exposing you to new ways of seeing the work, and different approaches to certain creative challenges.”

A Park Is More Than “Just” A Park

Sometimes a quiet morning alone in a park is just the ticket. And what better way to relax than spending “me” time with a few friendly ducks. 

Enjoy.
