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.

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 →
I’ve been pretty lucky as a food blogger. Since launching My Burning Kitchen in 2005 as a place online to document my journeys and thoughts, one of the best things was meeting Anthony Bourdain. It resonates even more now that he's gone. I won’t go on about how he changed the way we talked about... Continue Reading →

Paul and I were handed laminated menus with a choice of two Japanese dishes - interesting since I thought we would... Continue Reading →
Thanksgiving last year was unlike any Thanksgivings of past. The previous holiday (2014) passed me over after getting the news of my mom’s passing and her wishes to be buried 24 hours after her death which made a trip to attend the funeral impossible. So in 2015, I made an effort to visit her on... Continue Reading →
San Diego Comic-Con 2016 is finally over and quite honestly, we're not sad to see it go. If you were one of hundreds of people who stopped by the table to say 'hi' and buy a book or shirt, you likely got a story about Paul's current medical condition. He has a kidney stone but it's...
