A mind of mush, and why it makes me want to kill people and break things

Walking on railroad

Lately if I could remember my own name, I consider it a success worthy of the Nobel prize. My mind has just been in a funk lately, uninspired to blog, uninspired to plan any new trips, uninspired to do pretty much of anything except roll into bed and sleep for a 100 years. And I…

Well I won’t be doing THAT again for a while…

Made a near midnight run to 7-11 for cookies and ice cream. You know, it’s right down the block from me and I’m thinking it’s late, nobody should be around and I can get my goodies in peace. Instead I run into a old lady flailing her arms because her car broke down, running around…

A Melancholy Evening in Portland

Autumn Birches by Albert Bierstadt

Been feeling a little blue today, partly because I haven’t been feeling well, and partly because the loneliness has been creeping in while I was hanging out at the lounge. I was at the Portland Museum of Art for most of the morning, a pleasant surprise as I found most of the art to be…

Only problem is, I don’t HAVE…

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…

From Battery Park to Fort Tryon! (But I still haven’t found what I’m looking for)

Liberty at the docks

Decided to do a combo of urban caching and hot cocoa sampling in the city on Sunday, starting out at Battery Park and working my way uptown. BooYAH! :-D Here’s the thing though, whoever said this was a city that never sleeps was stoking one up. Three of the cafe/chocolate shops I wanted to check…
