Charleston
Charleston came as a bit of a surprise to both of us. I had lived just outside the city for a significant amount of my early childhood and thus really only knew that the city existed. What can I...
Random London Observations
One: Either Brits did not get the memo that goatees were cool or they came and went more quickly here than in the US. I didn't see anyone with the all too ubiquitous chin stubble in London. That's a...
Viva Las Vegas!
Ahh, Las Vegas, to many the land of dreams where fortunes are won and lost on a roll of the dice and beautiful people in beautiful clothes with beautiful jewelry party the night away. We didn't go to that...
Wait Stiff
Recently we dined at a very nice and very expensive restaurant in New York. I won't mention the name of the place except to note that it was Jean Georges. Damn, I have a hard time keeping secrets. We'd...
New York
For once I noticed a fashiony trend before Mary. Apparently the new hip thing for girls and middle aged women who still think they're girls, is to wear Wellies around town. I'd forgotten the term until Mary reminded me,...

Snapshots From the Big Easy
So we wandered around a bit here in the New Orleans during the annual Waring family Thanksgiving mass gorging extravaganza. Some areas are popping back, some aren't. And there's weird little pockets here and there where a whole neighborhood...
Swankified!
While wandering hitther and yon about the steaming remains of the late, great city of New Orleans we happened upon a number of billboards advertising Carnival Cruise Lines. The billboards were basically a single non-word: "Swankified" and the name...
New Orleans
Part Three of the Breakfast Travel Series For a bit of a variant to the traditional Southern Breakfast, and as a means of giving a shout out to the city where most of my family lives, I did...
Paris Envy
Last Christmas we got a gift subscription to Gourmet magazine, something I don't think I've read since I moved away to college some two or three geological eras ago. Mom used to get it and I'd peruse it on...
