The Lone Star State Will Soon Meet: THE LONE RANGER

For the first time ever (I’ve been saying that a lot lately, but anyhoo…), this lone ranger will soon be rangering it up in the grandest state of them all: TEXAS! I have been anticipating this trip literally since last August when I registered early to attend SXSW, which takes place every year in Austin,…

I’m getting antsy in my pantsy

It’s been 8 weeks since I traveled, and the restlessness from not having gone anywhere for that long is driving me bonkies. Even a day in Manhattan hasn’t been enough to satiate my wanderlust. I feel the road calling, and I must heed its call if I’m to maintain my sanity. I took a break…
