The Time I Went To A Séance in Sedona

March 23, 2013

Although it’s been two weeks since my weekend trip to Sedona, I never posted about it. And since I’m a little bored right now I figure now is as good a time as any. In all my years of annual Arizona trips, I had never made the less-than-two-hours-north-of-Phoenix trip to Sedona. My Aunty Debbie and [...]

Hiking Pinnacle Peak Park

March 19, 2013

In all the years I’ve been going to Arizona, I never once went hiking. Our trips were always all about baseball. Oh and that one year we went to the dog races. But that story is for another day. This was my first trip to Arizona with the Pacific Northwest relatives, who are avid hikers. [...]

Five Days in Arizona

March 8, 2013

I’ve been to 16 of the last 19 years of Spring Training, and this year is the longest trip of all – 10 days. I normally make the annual pilgrimage to the Cactus League with my Bay Area cousins (and fellow SF Giants fans) but they weren’t able to make it this year. So instead, [...]

Scottsdale, Day 1

March 17, 2011

Hello from the desert! We arrived late last evening and picked up our powder blue Crown Victoria car rental which told us it was 91 degrees outside at 9 pm. :/ We headed straight to my aunt’s home in the West Valley where my folks are staying (they happen to be coincidentally visiting at the [...]

Wrapping Up The Week

March 15, 2011

Workouts: AM: Dailey Method PM: 5 rainy miles It’s been a really long day so this will be short. I ran a tough 5-miles tonight and learned that one shouldn’t eat a tub of salsa and blue corn tortilla chips before a run. I was pretty miserable the entire time. Oh and it rained. No, [...]

March 7, 2011

I’m back from my first of two Spring Training trips! While it was a lot warmer than I expected (I’m not a fan of hot weather), it was still a lot of fun! Here’s my top 10 favorite photos (in no particular order): {My first view of Scottsdale Stadium. These are the banners that were [...]
