  • Cellphone-Less

    I love technology there are no two ways about it.   So, when on Monday I left my cellphone in the Philly Airport bathroom…. I knew it would be an issue.   But, there are a lot of things I do besides use the phone to make calls. So, I decided to make a brief list of…

  • Foliage Fun

    Foliage Fun

    My family jokes that when I’m not traveling I have a hard time leaving the neighborhood. Since my failed attempt to move into the North End, it could be easily assumed that I’d spend the weekend in the fetal position on the couch…. but I didn’t. I actually got out and explored an area I’d…

  • North End: Take One.

    North End: Take One.

    So on Friday, I tried to move into the North End.  It did not go as planed.  I won’t give you all the great details but suffice to say: Crazy Rain. the landlord decided to install new floors. he didn’t finish. there was a saw in the living room the parking permit I paid for…

  • Quick Hello

    Quick Hello

    It’s Monday and the end of a busy travel day. I have a lot of personal goals this week that I’d like to accomplish… but here is a quick summary of my weekend.

    I'm not lame (most of the time)

    Boots, Rain, and Flowers. Oh my.

    I have a love hate relationship with rain. It’s the bomb.com if you want to not feel guilty about cleaning out the Tivo in the middle of the day. It’s not the bomb.com if you are interested in being active … perhaps because you’ve been trapped in a cubicle all the damn day long. One…

  • See Ya Summer

    See Ya Summer

    Oh Summer. There you go. You’ve just left me high and dry. It’s the first official day of Fall and I’m sitting on the couch with a warm cup of coffee. Outside, it’s this odd weather mix of fog and 72 degrees and super green Fall grass. Apparently, it’s going to pour rain for the…

It’s very organized and as a result, I know where everything is normally and I’m not fumbling around the house at 4 in the morning looking…
