The problems with my back began a little after my mom died. I recall walking Doctor in the rain and as I stepped onto a wet metal grate, my foot slipped and my back went out. I could’t stand upright without pain and, trying to be as cost conscious I could be, found a nearby... Continue Reading →
It’s been a while hasn’t it but I’m still here. Since Doctor’s big escape from the Rover sitter last October and our big reunion, I’ve been keeping to myself, microblogging over on Instagram and enjoying the love of my sweet puppy (who is also now on IG) and husband. There is traveling to make up... Continue Reading →
Most happy endings don’t have a follow up, here’s ours. Doctor’s health Shortly after reuniting with Doctor on Sunday and telling Babs our how of how he came to us, she warned us about several things. Doctor may suffer from PTSD. Who knows what he encountered out there? Did a bus nearly hit him? Did... Continue Reading →
If things had gone according to plan, I would be regaling you with tales from Alaska, a trip to celebrate Paul’s 50th birthday. Paul’s lifetime goal was to visit all 50 states and Alaska was his last, so a 50th on his 50th. Instead we spent 88 hours looking for Doctor who escaped his sitter’s... Continue Reading →

Podcasts in my rotation include Radiolab, NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour, The Splendid Table, The Sporkful, Nerd for a Living, Forever 35, BJ Shea’s Geek Nation and just recently... Continue Reading →
If you’ve been following me on my Instagram account, you’ll know that I recently visited Scandinavia. But it wasn’t too long ago that I took food photos with an actual legit film camera. Young’uns not familiar with film photos won’t know what it’s like dropping off a roll of film to be processed, waiting for... Continue Reading →
Media tours are a funny thing. I’ve been on a few over the years like San Felipe, Montreal, Hawaii and Montana, it has never been a vacation for me. For one, with the exception of Mexico, I can never bring a guest. And two, everyone on the tour is on a strict schedule. There’s almost... Continue Reading →
To read the first part of the trip in Japan, click here. Flying from Japan to Philippines took approximately four hours and despite the relatively short trip, we were still fed on the flight. Paul and I were handed laminated menus with a choice of two Japanese dishes - interesting since I thought we would... Continue Reading →
