The people of Boston : David
I was fortunate enough to spend some time in Boston this week during a conference for work. There is never quite enough time to actually see the city when you’re at a conference, but we were afforded some breaks. On one of my breaks I walked down Boylston St. to the place I had read…

Things you’ll learn during an excursion
1) Always check to make sure the places you want to go are open. I like being spontaneous. But I’m also impatient and I devastate easily. Biking my heart out to find a locked gate isn’t as much fun. But it was a good lesson to learn. 2) Sometimes things look soft and harmless but they…

The people and city of Los Angeles
This past weekend I was in Los Angeles cheering on a great man in the LA Marathon. To see blubbering photos of said man go here. We biked around a lot of downtown Los Angeles. It made me miss home. There’s just something about a big city that makes me deeply happy.

Walking with Orbison part three
The leaves finally changed. This was actually at the Arboretum in Houston but I felt like it set the mood of this walk with Orbison. It also finally rained. It’s been raining all week. Orbison hates showers. He acts like I’m trying to stick him in a boiling cauldron and maneuvers himself so forcefully into the crevasse of the wall. But…

I want to be a Redneck
Hear me out. I just spent five days in Deer Park, MD and it was glorious. You know when you go home for the holidays and after the forced interactions with distant relatives or worse, your mom’s friends, you feel more exhausted then when you got there? That is what I was trying to avoid.…
