For some strange reason, I feel the need to be understood about a comment I made in a prior post. The comment I would like to address is: "I mean humorously, just look at this picture :)"

The humorous part didn't refer to how small the fireworks were in the picture. Instead, it referred to the fact that I was using a picture from a crappy digital camera to demonstrate how lame the fireworks show was. Understand? Good.

I just realized why I felt the need to explain this. I miss my sister. She's one of the few people who could laugh with me about this on the same humor wavelength as me. I was thinking about her when I wrote about it.

My sis just reminded me of my commitment to write a once a week update on my blog. Here goes.

I spend part of last week visiting my girlfriend, who lives in Kentucky. It was great. We went to Cincinnati on Sunday to watch the fireworks on the river. We spent most of the day walking around and people watching so it was a lot of fun.



The fireworks show was fairly lame for such a big city. I mean humorously, just look at this picture :)



On Tuesday we went back to Red River Gorge (park info here) for about the 6th or 7th time. I guess its bug season now. We got eaten alive by flies. Next time I'll remember to bring some repellent. The gorge never ceases to amaze me. This time we made a friend on one of the trails.



As usual, we found new trails and stunning cliff top views. I highly recommend visiting this place. I would have more pictures if it didn't rain on and off while we were there. Here's one I shamelessly took from www.redrivergorge.org. It's a picture of Chimney Top, one of my favorite places in the park. You can read about it here.



When we got back from the park, we watched the Lexington fireworks show. It rocked! It was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Way better than Cincinnati's fizzle fest.

I left Wednesday morning and drove 3 hours straight to work in Indy - not exactly an ideal way to start a work week but well worth it! My trips to Kentucky are always a blast.
