I took this picture yesterday morning on my walk by the beach Yesterday was my last day at my job. I really think its the first job I’ve ever quit. I’ve had a handful of jobs over the years (bookstore employee, lifeguard, auditor, graduate assistant, etc) but I don’t think I’ve honestly ever “quit” really…
This past Monday the odometer on my car hit 88, 888 miles. That seems monumental right? I don’t remember many of the other “historic” turns of the odometer, but I do remember the exact moment that I hit 77,777. It was August 23, 2009. I was just about to finish my summer internship in New…
Do you ever feel like your balance is just “off”? That’s how I’ve felt this week. Just like I was off balance. I mean there are actual examples of this. On Monday (I think it was Monday), I fell over in the elevator unprovoked. Yes, this is 100% true. Despite being a relatively quite work…
I feel a little bit lost this week. Lost is a slightly dramatic word, but it applies none the less. The necklace that I’ve worn pretty much for the last 15 months or so…. broke on Monday morning. I’m not an “accessories person”. On a consistent basis, I wear one ring and my necklace. No…
It almost seems like a waste of time to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my vacation in Maine over Labor Day, after all I’ve written about it twice now (here and here). But I think one of the great things about Maine was that I did things that I wouldn’t normally do and barely thought…
I could sit in the back of the boat all damn day and watch the water A week ago today, I was getting ready to take a nighttime boat ride and look at the stars. Seems a far cry from blogging in my bed with a glass of ice water :). It’s no secret that…
You know when you have so much fun you can barely even make a list of it? Well that is what Maine amounted to. For reals. It was so good that I can’t rush a blog post about it. It needs bullet points and links. Instead, I’m going to just tease you with this glorious…
View from the Wing… 6:30 AM Getting up at 4:20 in the morning is pretty uninspiring. Getting up at 4:20 in the rain might be a speck worse. Alas, the weekend is over and it is a travel week again. A few thoughts on this morning: I’m adding something to my bucket list. I want…
People often fall into one of two camps when certain things come up. Lake or Ocean? Beer or Wine? City or Country? I like to think one’s interest in sending and receiving mail is one of the those types of categories. Personally, I L.O.V.E. getting mail. I also love sending mail. Its not about getting…
As a continuation of yesterday’s non-love letter to US Air, I thought I would share some of the performance statistics that shed a little light on travel frustrations. Now, admittedly, I’m a little bit crazy and spent the time to do this research … instead of say, sleeping ….but, I kind of needed to validate…
