Between dealing with my impending divorce, work, the chores needed to untangle my life from my soon-to-be-ex’s, getting the condo ready to put on the market, a busy work load, and the stay-at-home order I’ve been living under for the past month and a half – let’s just say I’ve got a lot going on. The burden of the divorce… Read more »
These are very strange times we’re living in. The Covid-19 virus is burning through the globe, prompting governments to declare that their citizens must self-quarantine, shelter in place, or otherwise restrict their movements to prevent the spread of the contagion. I have been working from home for over a year now. Open plan offices are not conducive for me to… Read more »
After two stops on my 2019 midlife crisis tour – Atlanta and Orlando – it was time to head to the final stop in Miami. Monday around 1pm, after some work calls, I was in the Caddy heading south. The drive towards Miami on the Turnpike was much slower than the ride north, made seemingly much slower with the lack… Read more »
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.

They… Read more »
Be warned, this is going to be a vent-post… In a few minutes, I have to get moving and get ready for my friend’s wedding down here in Key West. My friend Renee and her fiance had quite the adventure getting here. They were supposed to fly down Monday morning but then we saw a Facebook post from her fiance… Read more »
I know it must feel like I’m in Florida every other week. And maybe because it’s pretty damn accurate. I’ll be heading back to South Florida next week. However, this time it’s for a wedding of a friend of mine from back in the day. She was one of my best friends when I lived in Ohio. Even though I’ve… Read more »
My sleeper compartment on the night train from Prague to Budapest ended up being single occupancy, since the person that was supposed to hang out with me in Prague decided to skip out on me. The compartment was in one of the newish Comfortline sleeper cars. While it was more modern than the Polish sleeping car, it actually was more… Read more »
Picking up from the previous post…My sleeper compartment in the Polish train from Krakow to Prague ended up being a single, which made me extraordinarily happy not to have to share with either a boisterous young backpacker or a grumpy older woman. The compartment was in an older train car, no doubt about it. But it was clean and relatively… Read more »
