Ah punctuality, you wily nymph, you. So close, yet so very far away. Wait, let me back up. Not quite ready for this part of the story yet, we need a little preamblizing. (Not a word, you say? I bet it is in Joss Whedon’s Firefly universe. Ergo, it should be in ours. I willContinueContinue reading “Killing Time – NOLA”

NOLA Photo Series #6
Aslan – photo provided by author Many people of NOLA made my 2018 trip fantastically memorable, but nobody more than Aslan. Read more about this thoughtful, artistic soul here. I hope our paths cross again someday. Related: Other NOLA photos can be found here, here, here, here, and here.
Rashomon Series: The Notebook – NOLA
It’s that time again – time for “something a little different”! Inspired by one of my favorite stories, Rashomon, I solicit the thoughts and opinions of others who have tread the same path as me, but (inevitably) they bring a different perspective. End result: you get twice the story. (I’ve successfully wrangled a “second voice”ContinueContinue reading “Rashomon Series: The Notebook – NOLA”
NOLA Photo Series #5
French Quarter – photo provided by author Another notch in the NOLA photo series. I can’t recall ever having a better time just wandering around day after day, no destination in sight, just my camera phone in one hand and a delicious icy cold Hurricane in the other. (Don’t judge.) Shot on iPhone 8, blackContinueContinue reading “NOLA Photo Series #5”
Touristy Things
Until quite recently, I hated tours. With a passion. How can that be, you ask? There is so much to learn, and the knowledge of the guides is right there at your disposal. Why not let them open up that world for you, show you what you didn’t even know to explore? Oh, let meContinueContinue reading “Touristy Things”
Blessings from Bast – Positano, Italy
Cat on a Positano Roof – photos provided by author She knows a good gig when she sees one — this furry ball of gorgeous has actually shown up more than once in my reading of other people’s blogs about journeys to Positano. An absolute camera-mugging, attention-crazed, ultra-self-confident specimen, milking her chance to steal theContinueContinue reading “Blessings from Bast – Positano, Italy”
Rashomon Series: Positano, Italy
Back to my “something a little different”, inspired by one of my favorite stories, Rashomon. (Does doing it twice officially make it a habit? Okay, okay, not quite there yet.) The idea is to occasionally solicit the thoughts and opinions of others who have tread the same path as me, but (inevitably) they bring aContinueContinue reading “Rashomon Series: Positano, Italy”
My Favorite Mask-Takes
I’ve done a couple of safe-cations in our current pandemic climate, and hope to do a few more over the next year or so (yes, I’m prepared to safe-cation for as long as it takes). So inevitably, I am going to be out there, wearing my mask and encountering other people wearing their masks. AndContinueContinue reading “My Favorite Mask-Takes”
New York, NY Photo Series #2
Cafe Duke – photo provided by author View from my tea at Cafe Duke, just down the street from my room at the Michelangelo. I ventured out for an early walk and breakfast to celebrate my first morning in New York. It wasn’t my first time in the city, not by a longshot, but thisContinueContinue reading “New York, NY Photo Series #2”
Chicago, IL Photo Series #2
