A Nor’ Easter of a Trip!

Tomorrow morning I rise bright eyed and bushy tailed (maybe) for a trip to three New England states: Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. One of the reasons why I take an extended trip around this time of year is because I get two holidays in close proximity to each other: Lincoln’s Birthday and President’s Day….

He’s a real Off-Season Man, Living in His Off-Season Land…

Making all my off-season plans, for noooobody… I have to love the look on people’s faces when I talk about taking a vacation in the middle of February. To Maine, of all places. “But there won’t be anything there to do!” “Exactly!” “But most of the attractions will be closed!” “Exactly!” There’s a method to…

I Hate The Holidays

There’s something about this time of year that always brings out the gangsta violence in me.

Off to Beantown in February?

Where to next? Ideas for a Christmas adventure?

Clark Griswold - Christmas

The holidays are upon us, and I’ve been thinking for my next trip I’d like to go someplace that really pours on the Christmas spirit, Norman Rockwell style. I’m limiting myself to a 300 to 500 mile radius from New York, so it would likely have to be in the Northeast. Anyone have suggestions? There…

Resurrection Sunday

This should be a joyous day to be sure. It reminds us of Christ’s accomplished work on the cross, His resurrection, and the promise that sin now no longer has any dominion over us. We can now be saved by grace, not by works. So millions today will go to church, say their prayers, and…
