No, this isn’t some gruesome tale about an ancient axe murder having taken place in the streets of Paris. Actually, it is a bit of history and I know it’s summer vacation and brains have been turned off but I think you are going to like this. When you are in Paris, you can amaze […]
Sadly, I have just finished reading the latest adventures of David Sedaris, author of When You Are Engulfed In Flames. I say sadly because I laugh harder than I usually do when I read about the misadventures of he and his partner, Hugh, as they traverse the world. Actually, Hugh has few misadventures. It […]
As I go along my merry way through the land of the Internet, I come across all sorts of crazy and/or unnecessary things that would be fun to have or just fun to know that they exist.
I am fairly certain that no one would actually use this anymore, but it would be so fun to […]
Try to imagine if you can, getting all jazzed up in your “I am so going out on the town and am going to look amazing” outfit, only to find yourself donning a hard hat, goggles and white painters uniform while being handed a sledge hammer in order to smash walls, closets and bathrooms at […]
Enjoy the day!

While the historic moment freed only 7 prisoners and […]
Friends, lamenting the fact that they paid $4.17 a gallon for gas this past week, generated a conversation over dinner of how the US, aside from a handful of major urban areas, lacks so significantly in good public transit. The town I lived in for the last 12 years is so un-pedestrian friendly for both […]
As you may or may not know, us bloggers have our wily ways of discovering certain things about our blogs: readership for the day, popular posts, where in the world some of our readers come from and which bloggers have linked to one of our posts in order to make a point or add extra […]
I am a lover of art in all its forms. When I step inside the Louvre, I stand in the central court and struggle with which wing to enter first. I know, no one out there is boo-hooing over my dilemma. Living in Paris allows one the luxury of taking in ancient Egypt one day […]
