Report From the Travelling Circus – UPDATE!!!!
July 13, 2014 - If it weren't so frustrating it would be wonderful to be me. So after I watched a bit of the World Cup final (didn't see the goal), I wandered over to my new gate for my new flight. While it was in a completely different concourse a few things seemed familiar.... Continue Reading →
Reports From the Travelling Circus
(July 13, 2014) - My friends know that I bear a curse. Often the first words out of their mouths are "Any trouble this time?". And then they laugh. You see, I have a travelling curse.

I don't believe omens. Not really. But this trip might just make me change my mind. We set out on Wednesday and things were off to a bad start right away. Less than an hour down the road and one of the various computer alerts on the car went off. "SVC Tire Monitor". My car... Continue Reading →
Travelling By Twos – Plus One
Growing up vacation was the big adventure. It began in the darkness before the dawn. Bags packed the night before so that we could be "wheels up" bright and early before the bright had even arrived. Three boys in back grabbing some quick sleep at first then swapping comics or whatever to keep us quiet.... Continue Reading →
