Same Story – Different Flight
On the road again or shall I say in the air again- it’s been a little more than a month and I’ve been fortunate enough at work to not have to fly to any meetings. It is hard to say whether or not it gets any easier for me. I was pretty nonchalant and unbothered…

Still Afraid to Fly
Here I go again. Back on an airplane. This time I’m headed to Denver, Colorado and back again to Baltimore. It will be my first time at the Denver airport. I finally got to see the Blucifer sculpture after having read about it. It is a four hour and 20 minute flight from Baltimore and…

Fear of Flying Part II
I think this is the worst flight I’ve had since I started my new job 5 months ago. By my count, this is my 19th flight. It would have been my 20th flight but Southwest canceled my flight home from Long Island one day so I had to take a train home from New York…

Traveling Again
I’m trying to write everyday to exercise my creative muscles, but I run out of things to write about. I’ll share that today I found out I will have at least two work trips in October. I will be going to Chicago next week and to West Palm Beach, FL in about 3 weeks. Hopefully…

Recent Reads
Below are some recent books I’ve read. I get a lot of recommendations from podcasts, like 10% Happier with Dan Harris and soon to be defunct Tell Me Something True with Laura McKowen, and Quitted with Holly Whitaker and Emily McDowell. I listen to a lot of sober podcasts so I think that influences my…

International Alley Party
Each year, one alley in our neighborhood organizes a potluck style dinner for neighbors called International Alley. Flags are flown and everyone that wants to participate picks a country and prepares food, a beverage, and decorations to share. I’m always super impressed by the amount of effort and creativity that people put into the party.…
