Sympathy Weight Gain: Myth or Male Malady?

Becca is now 27 weeks into the pregnancy and she is – as they say – “showing.”  All things considered, the pregnancy is going well.  At Becca’s last doctor’s appointment, they determined that she has gained 9 pounds since her first appointment.  That discovery in itself is not particularly noteworthy.  Rather, I was dismayed when [...]

May the Force be with me

You’ll have to excuse me but I feel the urge to geek-out for a minute.
Lucas Arts will be releasing The Force Unleashed on September 16th.  I’ve been playing the demo on XBOX 360 and it’s pretty impressive.  If any of you (the approximately 5 people who read this blog) are gamers or Star Wars fans [...]

Delhi, Other Destinations, Dining and Diarrhea

Sorry about the post heading.  However, it’s absolutely not for shock value (well, mostly not) as you’ll read later in this post.  I know it’s been a while since my last post but the reason should be self explanatory.  I’ve broken this one into easily digestible little snacks that cover each topic.  Enjoy!

Winding down with a smooth, refreshing Kingfisher

My first full day in India is nearly complete…and I’m exhausted.  The combination of jet lag and very little sleep has rendered me useless.  I’m pretty sure that my exhaustion will guarantee a very restful slumber but – just in case – I decided to continue my international travel tradition and sample a local brew.  [...]

International travel is expensive

The next installment in the series, Chris’ Trip to India, is about the cost of international travel.  Of course it should cost more than local travel.  However, I just finished booking my trip to India and was stunned by how quickly everything added-up.  Does it make sense?  Sure.  Does that fact make it any easier [...]

Preparing for India

So, I’ll be headed to India in (gasp) two short weeks to visit the 70-person operation my company recently acquired in Delhi.  I’ve started the necessary preparations and – in doing so – realized that my traditional communication crutches (Twitter, Text Messages and other services via my trusty AT&T Tilt) won’t be readily (or at [...]

Twitter Following: Growing, Attention Span: Shrinking

I started using Twitter many months ago but only in the last 6 weeks or so have I truly come to appreciate all it has to offer and – more importantly – made an effort to increase the number of people I “follow.”  My current stats are as follows.
Following: 23
Followers: 42
Updates: 214
I know my stats [...]
