Whether it’s a final day breakfast at an American Roadside Diner in Paris, a frappe from the first Starbucks you’ve seen in two weeks in Athens, a bagel in Tokyo, a desperate dinner from McDonalds in Italy. I’ve found that sometimes you just need a small taste of home while away no matter how disgusting. […]
Waterfalls, Black Sand, and Hitchhiking
While planning for our trip to Hawaii, I didn’t put much thought into our itinerary. We were going to be at the beach on an island after all, and I’m all about going with the flow when on beachy, island-y vacations. So when Adam asks the million dollar question “What should we ______” (the blank […]
Travel Day
Subtitle: In Which Zeke Obtains A Seat For Himself Travel days. Not everyone’s most favorite part of travel, but a necessary evil. I happen to be one of those weirdos who still thinks air travel has that special shimmer to it, as if we’re still back in the golden age of flight. Plane food? Delish! […]

As I’m frantically texting everyone in my office to determine how much of a wimp I’m allowed to be re: driving in the snow, I’d […]
D.Y.D.
D.Y.D. It’s an acronym I’ve thought long and hard about, or at least that is my excuse for not having written in a while. Barring the whole move, I really have had a lot of time to write. And plenty to write about. But how does one describe living west of the Mississippi? How do […]
The Longest Year
2012 is dragging. For real. Let me just say that I have been acutely aware of how time seemed to be speeding up over the last six years, but this year? Not so much. It has been 2012 for forever. Maybe it’s due to all of the rampant activity that has occurred in such a […]
