Adventures on planes, trains and automobiles
Wednesday morning found us cruising along I-40 through Amarillo, Texas and onto Oklahoma City en route to our final destination of St. Louis. We made a brief stop at the “Bug Farm” in Texas, which has a handful of VW bugs all spray-painted, nose-in-the-ground. We took some photos and hopped back on the road. I’ve…
We landed in Williams, Arizona last night around 10:30pm, a good 750 miles under our belts. Come to find out, I’m horribly allergic to the desert. We stopped in Fresno at an In-N-Out for one last taste of California and I was all right. Tehatchapi was our next driving switch and we hopped out to…
Dave and I are leaving California in the morning after a great family-filled weekend. We celebrated Ted’s college graduation on Saturday night it was a good time to see everyone and say goodbye, then tonight Mom and Dad took all of us kids out to Rutherford Grill before we went back home for some more…
Dave has packed the kitchen completely, with the exception of the plates, flatware, food, one frying pan and a spatula. So this morning when we were kicking around the idea of more than just coffee for breakfast (refer to 2 weeks ago for a lovely story on how that turned out) we decided to use…

I…
I had arrived on Thursday night and Dave took me for pizza. Long Island has not shortage of delis or pizza places with Italian names all claiming the Island’s best pizza. Friday was spent around his hometown of Northport and Saturday was New Year’s Eve, which was spent in Queens with his friends from high…
I love Dave’s hometown. We walked around the village yesterday, down to the dock. It was sunny and 50 degrees (in New York. In late December.) Fabulous.
I’m writing this 36,000 feet in the air on my phone, hoping that I will in fact be able to save this post despite being in airplane mode. Fingers crossed. *Update: a draft does in fact save locally. Score one for me and technology. But mostly me.* I’m flying to Ohio to surprise my friend…
A coach I once knew told me you me, “you can’t make chicken salad out of chicken shit” and I’m fairly certain in most cases that is true. However, my trip to Colorado might be the exception to that rule. I flew to Denver on Tuesday evening, after finishing up an event at work. I…
