How I will spank 2012 like it owe me money

2011 was pretty much an amazing year of travel for me. It started with snowmobiling in the mountains of New Hampshire, visiting Portland in Maine, hanging out in Boston, flying to Texas for SXSW, visiting Austin and then Dallas, doing a road trip that spanned Colorado, South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho and Utah, and finally a…

A Tale of Two Tracking Bugs

In the world of geocaching, there’s a fun activity that involves the use of what’s called Travel Bugs. Basically, Travel Bugs are items of virtually any nature small enough to fit inside a geocache, with a unique tag attached to each one. These tags are shaped like dog tags, and have tracking numbers that can…

Oh my aching ovaries…

2010 – FINALLY a year that didn’t suck flaming hogballs

For as long as I can remember, every time a year came to an end I would curse it, spit at it, then kick it in the groin and declare good riddance as I eagerly awaited for the ball to drop to finally put that crap year out of its misery. But for the first…

A Tale of Two Candles

Yankee Candle Store Sign

I left New York on a freezing cold morning, just before sunrise. I had to stop by a gas station first to recheck my tires, since one of them had driven over a screw sometime in the past two weeks. 6 years I drive my car, including a 14 state trip in October, and I…
