SantaCon is Coming to Town
Actually, SantaCon is already here all day and well into the night. Every second weekend in December, SantaCon seems to take place on Saturday in major cities across the U.S. and other places in the world. Basically, everyone dresses up as Santa Claus or some other Christmas-themed character and goes out to make revelry in … Continue reading
Payback
The boys apparently had quite an evening of drinking at the holiday dinner last night ’cause M. didn’t crawl in until after 10:00 a.m. and A. followed shortly thereafter. “Someone” in the office told me that M. had actually left the dinner or ensuing bar early to “help a friend.” Some girl allegedly sent him … Continue reading
Hawaii Photo Journey
Meant to show you a few photos from my latest trip.
Bah! Humbug!
The holiday season has been here for awhile, but my holiday spirit disappeared about 10 years ago. When I lived in L.A., Christmas was my favorite holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving!
In all honesty, Thanksgiving is my second least favorite American holiday, after Halloween. While everyone else may have memories of friends and family getting together sitting around the dinner table enjoying a fabulous feast and interesting banter, mine are nothing like that. My family memories consist of everyone getting together, eating, arguing, laying around watching … Continue reading
My Last Full Day in Hanoi
Tuesday was my last full day in Hanoi, yet I still wasn’t that interested in seeing the sights or dealing with any more taxi drivers. Believe it or not, after breakfast, I spent a few hours back in my room! Which reminds me, I’d like to comment on the breakfast at Art Boutique Hotel. There … Continue reading
