Prior to going on this cruise, I had all kinds of reservations about spending my vacation time this way. I was envisioning a week-long outing with people elder to my grandfather, buffet style food and hours of mandatory bingo every day. But that wasn’t the case at all. Here are the top ten reasons of [...]
I am off to spend the weekend with my friend Jerry and his family in Dallas, Texas. Right now I am sitting at the Seattle airport watching it rain. Next week, I promise to blog more and maybe even post some pictures from this trip.
While in Plettenberg, I was fortunate enough to run a marathon/half-marathon with both my girlfriend and my parents. Warning, large pictures and smiles.
Upon returning from Germany, I write about some thoughts on my mind (at four in the morning while struggling with jet lag.)

Ok, this is my second bad flight experience in just a couple of weeks. Last week I was unhappy because Horizon Air ran out of beer on my flight from Portland to Santa Barbara.
This week, I am writing because I got stuck at the Philly airport for ten hours – thanks to the friendly folks [...]
It’s 11:30pm and I am about to lay my head to rest on a soft pillow here at a fine Holiday Inn in Pittsburgh. We had a great first day on our book tour with two book signings and some important consignment deals. I am a little bummed that I am flying back tomorrow, which [...]
