Sorry I’ve been so quiet on the blog front. As the title will lead you to believe, I’ve been pretty busy lately. Starting with the middle of last month, I’ve: spent a long weekend in Denver hanging out with a close friend and then immediately flew to Las Vegas with that same friend and a group of ladies to see… Read more »
For the past couple of years, it seemed like I was going to Florida quite often. I have a close friend that lives near Miami and another close friend who got married there last year. And although I have a scar from melanoma, I still find that the beach relaxes me; but nowadays, I’m slathered in SPF and wearing a… Read more »
As mentioned in a previous post, I’m taking my mom on a trip to Alaska. In fact, she’s on her way to Austin as I type this. After looking at my work calendar (but mostly based on the flight connections and prices to fly from Ohio), I decided to have her fly here to start the trek. I’m excited but… Read more »
Before you even start making elderly jokes, this post is not about my age 😉 I’ve discussed my travel addiction in a number of other posts on this blog so it should be no surprise that one of my weird life goals – in addition to seeing a game in every NHL arena (halfway there), standing on the Prime Meridian… Read more »
A reader emailed to let me know that Adam Ant released some U.S. tour dates for later in the year. This correspondent was concerned that I wasn’t aware because I hadn’t posted anything yet about it. And seriously, I love the people who actually read this blog. You guys are awesome. Between your emails and the nice messages, you make… Read more »
I used to go to San Francisco quite a bit back in the day for work. But about a year and a half ago, I changed roles in my company (and just recently had another role change). Upshot is that I hadn’t made the trek to the city by the bay (woah-ooh-ohh-ohhh-ohhh – the Journey song is now stuck in… Read more »
I’ve been a little quiet over the past few weeks for a variety of reasons. One, my dad’s birthday was about two weeks ago and frankly, I wasn’t sure how I was going to react. As I expected, I really missed calling him and wishing him a happy birthday and I know that my mom had it even worse than… Read more »
I intended to write up an interesting article I came across. Y’all know how much I love science and delving into the details of new melanoma research. But as I sat down to type it, I started writing something entirely different. A few more people I know have been diagnosed (or rediagnosed) with some form of cancer in the past… Read more »
I’ve been a little quiet on the blog front recently as I’m adjusting to my new job. This past week, I was invited to attend a workshop for a work project and shockingly, I now have a boss who thinks I should actually attend meetings that I’m invited to. So I was excited (but a bit nervous honestly) to be… Read more »
Well, last week was interesting and by interesting, I mean it was a crazy complicated clusterf*ck. Honestly, I better have gotten all of my 2019 drama out of the way. Although my blog usually covers cancer and travel, I need to unpack what went down last week; and since my blog is, um my blog, this is the outlet I’m… Read more »
