Canada, 2008
Well, we’re back from our trip. Charlie and I had a fantastic time, even though it was a whirlwind of a trip. After leaving Houlton, ME, we took 3 days to hit up Quebec City, Montreal, Toronto, Niagara Falls, and Atlantic City. We stayed at a hostel in Montreal, with my friends in Toronto (that [...]

Bryant Park – 19.5/30. View Map Speed factor: 2/5 Crowd/Hipster factor: 4/5 (It’s crowded during the middle of the day, but there’s still loads of places to pop a squat. Part of the fun is being in the park with all the New Yorkers.) Power factor: 0/5. There are no outlets that I know of [...]
Society, Bagels & Bryant Park
If you’re ever in New York, take advantage of Sunday mornings. Get up early, go far a walk through the center of Manhattan, grab a bagel and coffee at a corner deli, and soak in the beauty of the city. It’s currently about 10 AM and I’m sitting in Bryant Park, one of the best [...]
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away
I’m sitting at a house in Toronto, Canada. The fan is blowing, cooling the room a little, but the humidity is something I’m not exactly used to in California. But Toronto is a wonderful city, and, as our trip comes to a close, I can honestly say that I was VERY impressed with Canada. If [...]
The road is my mistress…
Yesterday morning I was startled awake by the repeated buzzing of Ira’s apartment doorbell– which is less of a “bell” and more of a… well, obnoxious BUZZZZZZZ. Charlie was anxiously waiting for me at the door after having waited for 30 minutes at the 6 Ave and 33rd Street PATH metro stop. I’d slept in. [...]
If I could split myself into
Shot a wedding with Ira and Samuel today. It was a grand time! The wedding was in the Rainbow room at the top of Rockefeller Center and at the Palace hotel in downtown Manhatten. Pretty great. Shot this with my phone while I was uploading photos.
Birdhouse in your soul
above: napping on the grass at Bryant Park this afternoon. Well, I’ve been in New York for a couple of days now and, as usual, its already been fantastic. I woke up yesterday morning around 7:30 to the sounds of heals clacking on pavement and the general bustle and murmur of a New York morning. [...]
The lights go on, the lights go on.
I’m curled up in my little corner at the Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX. My flight leaves from a domestic terminal, but I ventured over here for a relatively comfortable place to sleep before i take off early in the morning. My flight for New York (via Denver) leaves at 6 AM so I [...]
I’m Wide Awake And Dreaming
Here I am. Right here at the beginning. It’s taking me far longer then it should have to get this blog up and running. Actually, once I finally went ahead and did it, I was kicking myself for being so far behind the rest of my generation. However, better late then never, eh? My main [...]
