The Vespa finally arrived — not quite two weeks after ordering it… I could have had it right away if I hadn’t decided to get it painted bright orange. As you can see, it’s got a little pearlescent effect in it — and there’s no doubt about it, it’s orange as hell.

Megan and I went up to Door County this weekend… Beautiful place, at least one you get there, and if you can ignore the biting flies and mosquitoes. I still have lumps all over my head from those buzzards. We camped at Newport State Park, a incredible place with only about 20 campsites, all back-pack only — so, no cars, no crowds. Just lots of bugs. And birds! lots of birds.

Here are a few photos — more on Ofoto:

PS The Vespa is being delivered tomorrow!

Here are a few photos from my trip to Paris for AdMonsters Europe a couple of weeks ago:

  Out on the lake with Jessica, Deb and Michael a few days ago. Pretty darn nice here in the summer.

I have a thing about cover songs, so I put up a web page about some that I’ve run across. I know, I know, I’m supposed to be working. Heh.

I was out sailing yesterday evening on an E Scow — very cool. Fast boat! Hoping to have the Vespa by Friday!
