Coming To America

Angela and I are now in Colorado, and it's been a very nice visit so far. The trip up here was also a good one, including aerial views of an erupting volcano near Guatemala City, Los Angeles during the day, and Denver at night. Good stuff. It was also the first time that Angela had flown before, so we were lucky to have nice, smooth flights.
Upon arriving in L.A., our layover city, we were greeted by some funny things (a guy in the immigration line wearing a hat that said "Fuck White Supremacy" in hand-written bubble paint...he was also reading Ayn Rand) as well as some not-so-funny things (Neil Diamond belting out a jazzed-up version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" in the airport Burger King food court). But all in all, it's good to be here, and it's a completely new and fun experience for Angela, which makes it fun for me, too. Here are a few selected pictures from the last couple of days:

Here is Angela in Los Angeles, in front of her first plane ever.


This picture was actually only staged, but farily realistically. She really enjoyed flying.


Another first for Angela: snow.


Here are Angela and I in front of my grandma's house (the flag is there because we believe in Liberty, dammit!)

Coffee


Hello Everyone,

In honor of the upcoming coffee harvest (yes, it's upcoming), I've added a new page to http://www.ryansitzman.com/ dedicated to all things related to producing that tasty black elixir you enjoy every morning at breakfast (at least, that is, you enjoy it if you're not a big pussy). In any case, if you click here:


it should take you right to the page. However, in the past my links from Blogger have been crap, so if it doesn't work, you can go to http://www.ryansitzman.com/, then click on the link on the left that says "Stories and Stuff." From there, go to the first story on the yellow tab, entitled "coffee."

I hope you enjoy the page as much as I enjoy coffee.

Which means I'll surely be disappointed in your level of appreciation for my page.

Think about it...it's deep.

Thanks,

The Management

Ow.

I hate low doors.

Mariela

Last night our neighbor and niece Mariela came over to bring me and Angela some food that she had made. She remarked that it was too bad that there was not a picture of her on the internet, but there WAS a picture of her dog (that's Ginger, from the posting on Nov. 26, "My Old Nemesis"). Well, she IS actually on http://www.ryansitzman.com/, under the wedding photos, but just to put her mind at ease, here is a picture of Mariela (in white), with her sister Lupe, and her cousins Veronica, Enrique, and Donald:



There you go, Mariela.

Something I Can't Figure Out...

So last night, I was watching the movie "The Queen," alone, while Angela slept (she turns it in early many nights). Anyhow, "The Queen" is a movie about the Queen of England. I was enjoying it with a cup of wine, and I was wondering to myself:
"Is this totally gay, what I'm doing?"
