I’ve invented a new word for the Eriktionary:
chi·lo·ba (kîlōbŏ´), n., pl. chi·lo·ba. 1. a. a task which has previously been commited to but has a good chance for enjoyable enlightenment. An opportunity.
Basically, I got sick of saying “opportunity” over and over in my head so I needed to think up a new [...]

That hardly went smoothly.
Mary Kate was pretty sick yesterday morning in the Hotel and throughout the day. We made it onto the plane, but the flight attendant basically said that they would really prefer if she didn’t fly. The flight was overbooked anyway and flying sick is no fun. So America West [...]
Here we are. We’re packing up for Phoenix. Ben’s been on the phone this morning with his parents and the insurance company. We hit a small animal on the way back from Bryce last night and it damaged the car a bit. We’re trying to figure out how to proceed in [...]
Well, here we are back in Phoenix. We drove 420 miles from Bryce Canyon today. All four of us took a leg, so it wasn’t too bad at all. We stopped in Flagstaff, AZ for dinner at the Bun Hugger, a burger famous for their mesquite char-broiled burgers. Food was quite [...]
The Ruby’s Inn Best Western here in Bryce Canyon is fantastic. We arrived here about 10:30 last night to find a huge, rustic, beatiful, timber-frame hotel. It’s amazing that such a nice hotel costs pretty much the same as the Courtesy Inn in Williams, which was pretty terrible. Regardless, we’re really excited [...]
Our day at the Grand Canyon was somewhat short, and bookended by a lot of driving, but the weather was good and the view was spectacular. We arrived at the South Rim sometime around noon, and basically headed east, stopping at each of the points to have a good look at the canyon. [...]
We rolled out of bed after another lovely night of sleep. Usual breakfast, and up to Sedona. We went tothe Coconino Forest Ranger Station, which was a great idea. The woman at the desk we talked to first wasn’t much help, but we got some great maps with suggested hikes. [...]
We spent the bulk of the day today bumming around Sedona, trying to find something to do and not finding much. We got a pretty late start, so I don’t think we even got to Sedona until about 1:00pm. We went to a visitor center/theater that we had a brochure for and basically [...]
Last night we went to a burger joint in Sedona for eats–The Blue Moon Cafe. Food was pretty good… N, MK and B seemed to enjoy their meals. I was in the bathroom when the food came out, and by the time I got back to the table, they were pretty much finished [...]
We woke up today around 10:00. Niamh and I went for a little walk in the few blocks surrounding the hotel. When we got back, we had a little breakfast: Safeway grapes (delicious and safe), Pugliese bread with honey, a banana each for Ben and I, and some Nature Valley granola bars. [...]
