Lame, But True
Posted: August 8, 2008 Filed under: Dangerous Book for Boys 6 CommentsI went to see the doctor recently and he told me that I have the Egyptian flu.
I’m going to be a mummy!
(My mom says this joke is old, and has never been funny. But um, I love jokes like this. And besides…it made a good announcement, huh?)
Happy March 2009!
Family Reunion 2 of 2
Posted: August 7, 2008 Filed under: All's Well That Ends Well, Brothers Karamazov 2 CommentsThe Romgi’s side of the family, this past week in Brian Head, Utah.
Cool clouds on the drive down
Back of the Mustang, top down!
Very, very windy in the backseat
Petroglyphs - middle of nowhere, Utah
More petroglyphs
Windswept hair after our ride in the Mustang
Antelope petroglyphs!
The Romgi with MORE petroglyphs
Tombstone of my 4th great grand uncle in the Parowan, Utah cemetery
Heading out on Ben's "easy downhill" hike (starting elevation: about 11,000 ft)
Weird communications tower, and me without makeup
AMAZING view and dangerously steep cliff behind us!
See? Pretty cool!
We all thought Ben would die
I’d like to insert that shortly after we went down the next switchback after these pictures, it started hailing. Hail is actually quite painful to walk in, especially when the weather was nice when you left the cabin so you wore a t-shirt and the only comfy pants that fit anymore. Then the hail turned into a downpour, which continued for about an hour while we continued hiking. Needless to say, I was thoroughly soaked and thoroughly freezing.
Finally the rain let up.
Ben and Krista still look happy at the end!
When I get it from Krista, I’ll add a picture of the Romgi and I at the end of the hike. We look appropriately sad about being soaked to the bone.
All in all, though, it was a great trip and a fun hike (in retrospect)! What have you been up to this summer?
Family Reunion 1 of 2
Posted: August 7, 2008 Filed under: All's Well That Ends Well, Brothers Karamazov 1 CommentMy side of the family, in New Mexico this past June.
Dusty road to the cabin
Our dusty car when we arrived!
Incredible cabin my grandpa built from scratch
The Romgi and I after a sleepless night of driving
Me, unaware I'm in a picture
One of the rooms in the cabin
This is why I'm not a real photographer.
Two of the four horses my grandpa brought up to the cabin for the weekend
The outhouse still stands, even though there's a flushable toilet inside
Indian paintbrush (Castilleja angustifolia)
Did you know New Mexico was green?
We liked the orange and red in this shot.
Our Neon did not have a good time going on this rocky, rutted road.
A real fixer-upper
Heading back to Utah

Goodbye, Chimney Rock!
