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 »
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 »
Our Malaysia Airlines flight from KLIA to Singapore was on-time and uneventful. While the 737 had a very new interior, the seat pitch was really tight. I’m not often grateful that I’m short; but on this flight, I was glad my legs weren’t supermodel-length or my knees would have been bruised being smashed up against the seat in front of… Read more »
Welcome to the first installment of my trip to Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore! I’m about a week into my adventure and figured I better start writing things down before I forget. There’s so much to see and experience in this part of the world that it would be easy for things to blur together. If you like my ramblings, read… Read more »
I was trying to answer a message sent to me by a reader and as I was poking around here to find a post that I had written a few years ago, I realized that I was sitting on 249 posts. I figured I would use my 250th post to thank you for reading this little ramble-fest of mine and… Read more »
I’m back home in Austin after my bday trip. But the trip was about much more than celebrating my annual trip around the sun. It was also a time for me to be by myself and come to grips with my dad’s passing. Everyone goes through grief differently it seems, and for me, I really needed to be completely alone… 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 »
Now that SXSW is over, I had thought that my life would settle down for a few weeks at least. While I had a lot of fun running around, listening to a bunch of live music and discovering some new bands, I’m not going to lie – SXSW is not a time where you get to relax. And I’m paying… Read more »
OK, now that I’ve checked out of that hotel, I need to warn all y’all about staying at the Sheraton Jacksonville… Do not be deceived by the nice newer furnishings. As evidenced by my last post, that place has the worst insulation between the walls of the guest rooms. I’ve stayed in Motel 6s that had better sound proofing. Yesterday… Read more »
I realized that I never followed up from my previous paranoid post. I did go to the doctor, who looked at the growing red thing on my leg and wasn’t sure exactly what it was; but she thought it might be some kind of dermatitis, or worst case, maybe basal cell carcinoma. She gave me a prescription for a steroid… Read more »
