From One Music Mecca to Another

Nashville at Night

Finally made it to Nashville Friday night, well, just outside of it actually. I got tired of playing Russian Roulette on Priceline.com for the past week, so I opted this time to stay at a suburban hotel outside the city limits. Hotels.com had an excellent guest rating for the Country Inn in nearby Goodlettsville, so…

Living without a GPS

Despite my eternal love of gadgetry, I didn’t own my first cellphone until 2003. I remember before getting one I was always thinking, “I don’t need a cell phone, it’s not like anyone would call me since I don’t have any friends, wah wah wah…” But then I finally got one and now I can’t…

I’m on a mission, baby… a GPS Mission!

I’ve been playing around with GPS based apps ever since I purchased a GPS cradle for my iPod Touch, and lately I’ve been trying out one called GPS Mission.

No Girlfriend = More money for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Once I got my tax refund, it was time to spend, spend, spendspendspend, all for me, and nobody else but meeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Well, maybe Momsie too….

Racing Against the Storm: Day One at Boston

Hannah's Rock

I left on the ninth, the massive storm front that had just dumped 55 inches in Washington, DC only a mere few hundreds miles away and slowly making its way north. Despite the forecasts, I threw caution to the wind and hightailed it out of New York for a four day adventure in Beantown. There…

Going another way

Statue at Red Lion Inn

Finally wrapping up a whirlwind of a weekend before heading back home tomorrow. To recap, I traveled to the Berkshires to spend a night in Stockbridge at the Red Lion Inn, and then stayed at a roadside motel in Barrington for the last two nights and using that as a launchpad to return to Stockbridge…
