Sign Language

This sign/sculpture was located on the grounds of the Lotte Hotel in Seoul, Korea. Apparently this was their attempt at being a green hotel.

I have a layover in the Singapore airport on my way to Jakarta. The Singapore airport is very modern, very clean, and they speak very good English around here. In other words, it’s hard to find goofy signs here. One of the first things I noticed getting off the plane was their name for the “moving walkway.” The Travellator!! Much cooler name.

Be careful, you are approaching the end of the travellator!

As the season begins, this is the only sign that means anything to me.

Some fine gardening on the grounds of Tra Vinh University in Vietnam.

So I’m in Minneapolis for the ITeach conference (canceled due to weather) and find that my hotel is only two blocks away from one of my favorite places called The Local, which is an Irish Pub. It’s in Downtown, or is it Uptown? … I really have no idea. In the back near the rest rooms they have a special Kissing Room (no lie) where amorous couples can go to make out. It is semi-private, which is probably enough for making out but hopefully not private enough for much more than that (although I expect to see a video on YouTube any day now that proves me wrong).

Just sittin’ and waitin’ for spring training to start. The old Western Metal Supply Company building helps form the left field wall and bleachers at Petco Park in San Diego where the Padres play their home games.

Pitchers and catchers report in Peoria, AZ on February 16 while the rest of the team starts on Feb. 21. Ahhh, spring is in the air! (at least that’s true in Arizona)

One of my all-time favorite players from my all-time favorite team. Goin’ to the Hall of Fame. Wish I could be there. The address of PETCO Park, the Padres’ new ballpark, is 19 Tony Gwynn Way. Yes, his uniform number was 19.
