Air Travel III - Thin Atmosphere Reading

People will sometimes ask me how long it takes to fly between Tokyo and New Jersey. My answer usually elicits a contorted expression and a syllable or two of pained commiseration, reactions I personally would reserve for someone in truly insufferable straits – being psychologically unable to miss an episode of Glee, for example. Or…See More

Air Travel II - (sk)In-Flight

I like airports, actually. They offer such good post fodder.I step through the door and come face to face with a half-naked middle-aged man. Well not face to face; he’s turned toward the wall so all I see is his pasty, mealy back. On the shelf in front of him is his open carry-on. He’s slathering on his deodorant. I feel like I’m at the YMCA.The door to my stall bangs shut…See More

It had been a while since I’d flown –six weeks almost – so it took no time for the incongruous wonders of air travel, like the burn of a…See More

What Comes of Domestic Malaise

 I was rather taken aback the other day to find out it’s been over two months since my last post – not that anyone else noticed but I still feel better making up excuses for these things. You’d think without a pesky job to have to bugger off to every day I’d have more free time than …See More

"Absolutely love this shot. Kids running toward the water on a summer's afternoon, nothing but a hoop and their spirit and needing nothing more (except to look both ways!). Truly beautiful."

Nothing like a really good travel writer to draw you into the story! Beautifully told Kevin and so important for I feel as if I am there, making the earthquake and strife my own instead of feeling guiltily detached from an article I read in a newspaper.

I sat down to write about Thanksgiving and family and was driven here by your comments on my blog, thank you by the way for appreciating my photographs and stories.

Now I'm hooked and will be sure to dig deeper on your site.

As for my FB page, I have been told that it is a fun page to visit...that is my goal. Always be entertaining, never whiny, never boring because life is way too short for that!

You also have a fantastic Thanksgiving. So glad to connect my new travel friend!
