Time to break out the thermal underwear

Single digit temps. That’s what’s waiting for me when I arrive in New Hampshire this Thursday. I knew I should have invested in a Timberland wardrobe instead of donning Banana Republic winter coats and blowing kisses to myself in the mirror. Ah well. I may get frost bite and die of hypothermia, but if I…

The Top Gagillion, Fafillion, Illion, Yillion iPhone Apps For Travel

Navigon

Even now there appears to be a lack of a definitive list of iPhone/iPod/iPad based apps useful for frequent travelers and travel bloggers.

Hotels.com had an excellent guest rating for the Country Inn in nearby Goodlettsville, so…

There Goes the ‘Nati Hood!

Skyline Chili Spaghetti and Coney

After crying for a while over my beautiful ride while it rolled into the shop, I got my rental and booked a few extra nights in Columbus, Ohio using Priceline. As good as the successful bids were, I had a feeling I could have lowballed it even more and still get a room at one…

Hello, my name is Lincoln, and I hate women.

So today I came across this video: Have you noticed, whenever you can see the driver, it’s always a woman? Watch the last one too, you just KNOW that was a dude who did it. Awesome. So anyway, I show it to my male coworker, and we get to a discussion about how women are…
