Posted onJuly 31, 2018December 5, 2018Leave a comment

It’s been a funny summertime everywhere, it seems: record heat in the UK, cool temps in Portugal but hot as blazes elsewhere in Europe. But here in the Midwest, we’ve had a gorgeous run of fair weather, first up at Read More …

Spotted Cow Sighting

Curds & Root Beer

Posted onJuly 18, 2018December 5, 2018Leave a comment

When you bite into a cheese curd, the sound may remind you of chewing styrofoam—not that you’ve done that since you were a kid, right? Still, this fact shouldn’t keep you from enjoying one of summer’s greatest snacks. But that Read More …

Today At FL340

Posted onJune 20, 2018December 5, 2018Leave a comment

In the past 10 weeks I’ve crossed the Atlantic four times—twice for work and twice for family matters both sublime and deeply sad. It’s enough to make me think my frequent flyer status is due for an upgrade. But no, Read More …

Chasing Doug Through SoCal

Posted onMay 30, 2018December 5, 2018Leave a comment

I Almost Never Left MCO

Posted onMarch 21, 2018December 5, 2018Leave a comment

I ponder yet another trip to Florida–always for work; I almost never go there by choice. Not that there’s anything wrong with the state (I’m a fan of Tim Dorsey’s Serge Storms), but I get my fill during these annual Read More …

Fat Tire On A Tire In Topeka

Posted onFebruary 21, 2018February 20, 2019Leave a comment

A Lite In A Plastic Mug

Posted onFebruary 14, 2018February 14, 2019Leave a comment

Champagne In First

Posted onNovember 23, 2017December 5, 2018Leave a comment
