Some expert tips…from a self-proclaimed expert that I want to pass on to you guys. So this post is about packing, about the airport, about the flight, about the post-flight, about…
Stupid does not discriminate (sorry EVERYONE). It’s not a gay thing or straight thing, a black thing or white thing, it’s not even a Christian or Muslim issue (I know, SO crazy). It is, by it’s very nature, a human (that means you & me) condition, and yes, it is contagious (more on that to…
THE ORIGINAL DON OF FACIAL HAIR, MR. TOM SELLECK OKAY, HELLO! I have traveled around the US a lot in my short time on this earth, and there are some things that just come across very strongly and catch my eye. Often it’s interior design, or accessories, or clothing, or trends. You know just half…
