I'm still struggling to come up with a handle for the new girl. Herself 2.0? She's not really a Herself. Too much feminine charm for that. It'll hit me. She invited me to Reynosa to see where she grew up, her hometown. She has a house there that she inherited, and it needed sorting out. … Continue reading Reynosa, Mexico

Gone South
Real south. Visiting Reynosa Mexico with New Woman. Had to stop by Chip & Joanna’s Magnolia empire on the way. The rain quit before Austin, she took the wheel at San Antonio. Long day it was. Time to get horizontal.
Sandbridge, VA
Last week I headed up, back to the motherland. Virginia in this case, to Sandbridge. Sandbridge is a beach, some ways south of Virginia beach. Unlike the traditional beaches, this one is nearly all rental properties - no hotels, no motels, no camping. There's exactly one beach store/restaurant that looks like it could be on … Continue reading Sandbridge, VA
Richmond, Va
Haven't done a travel story in some time. This weekend found me at a wedding somewhat south of the motherland (Northern Va), in Richmond. The area in that part of the country has a number of fantastically beautiful winery venues, and this one was was spectacularly so, with a view of the James River. Richmond … Continue reading Richmond, Va

My previous trips have been to … Continue reading Montreal Canada, Sector 21 Building 2071 Room 1401
Oberlin Revisited.
I've told my kids on many occasions, in any situation - Even a job interview or car purchase, sometimes all there is left is entertainment value. So you may as well have fun with the situation. It's an attitude like that - My attitude, that gets me into trouble in places with funny people to … Continue reading Oberlin Revisited.
New York, NY. If you can make it there…ahh…screw it.
It's been quite some time since I've been to the big apple. Most of my travel keeps me clear of the northeast corridor, thank God. There's not much I like about that region. So I wasn't thrilled when the word came down NYC may be in my plans. In the past, I'd take the shuttle … Continue reading New York, NY. If you can make it there…ahh…screw it.
Washington DC
One of the funny things about DC is that I grew up here, But then I moved. So I look at it differently now, like a foreigner . Fall and Spring are the best times to hit this city. In the spring you have the cherry blossoms, as well as crab apple, apple, pear, and … Continue reading Washington DC
