As you all recall from our last episode, I had a somewhat trying trip from Charlotte to Chicago last Friday. If you don't remember, here is the link. Today, I pulled myself together and wrote a very nice, concise letter to American Airlines customer service. I figured what the hell, nothing wagered nothing lost. I …
I was traveling for work last week. Chicago to Charlotte on Tuesday night, then back home on Friday. The outward bound flight was nice and smooth; Chicago O'Hare was surprisingly crowded, but security moved quickly and the flight was on time. The flight home was another story. I was flying American Airlines from Charlotte to …
Oops, this fell of the radar and didn't get published. Better late than never! I know that it isn't quite travel related, but I figured I would bend the rules and write about our wedding. Our travel related posts will be on Saturday, when we will live from New York. Sue & I tied the …
We apologize, we truly meant to restart the blog as soon as the wedding was over, but the next week or so was a bit of a whirlwind and so here we are, married for 18 days and still haven't updated the blog. We are slackers. In our defense, we are also honeymooners, so there …
We are going on hiatus for a couple of weeks. Our wedding is about two weeks away and we just don't have the time to post right now. We will return to our usual Wednesday and Saturday schedule the week of October 15th with a recap of our honeymoon trip to New York. Thanks for …

Steven is on the road so I thought I would write for him. Plus, I forgot (I know, I know, terrible!) to write on Saturday, mostly because I feel like I haven't left a three-mile radius since August. I always thought it would be interesting to travel for work. Maybe I wouldn't always get to …
Yup. Another post about the best game in the world. Baseball. For those of you who missed the last installment of as the baseball spins, I will bring you up to date. Our intrepid baseball stadium travelers (Josh & Steven) visited Pittsburgh's PNC Park in August to get to the midway mark in the stadium tour(*). …
Travel allows me to get out of the daily grind, soak in beautiful landscapes and culture that gives me new ways to interpret myself and the world. In our usual existence, we have what I call a "sphere of influence." What I mean is simply the radius in which we usually operate: work, to grocery …
When there's a lull in travel plans, like say when I've just gone back to my job at a high school and I'm planning a wedding, my next best way to get out of my own experience and environment is to read. I don't need to read books about women like me--not only am I …
