No Agenda, No Schedule

Friday, March 7th, 2008

Growing up I never imagined myself being content in a rural setting. Sure I was exposed to Barnesville and all of its southern charm. But as I grew up my needs changed and my dreams changed and they had little to do with the offerings of such a place. But at this junction in life [...]

The Luggage Hath Arrived

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

I appreciate everyone’s concern over my lost luggage. It is, however, now in my possession. My suitcase looks fine; no worse for the wear. A few of the biscuits I brought back from the UK were a tad crushed and crumbled by it was nice to see fresh, clean boxers and some shirts. If only [...]

Lessons Learned From Lost Luggage

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

I have awoken today in Anguilla, Mississippi. That’s right, mmmm I crooked letter crooked later I hump back hump back I. I am visiting our dear friend Emily. We all worked together at The South magazine and she and I got rather close over the last few weeks. Let me just say that Mississippi is [...]

Fools Look To Tomorrow. Wise Men Use Tonight.

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

My time in Edinburgh has ended. I have had a most delightful time with my cousin Audra and her two roommates Eva and Rosanne. We have spent much time laughing, talking about fashion, critiquing bad movies and reviewing Dutch marijuana laws. In between I have worked quite a bit and been able to build a [...]

Scotland In A Day

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

Yesterday was just downright miserable. I woke up and immediately went to work. I was knee deep in my emails when I realized that it was not only raining but also gale force windy outside. “Rats,” I thought. I had planned to work until about lunch time and then take the bus into City Centre [...]

Welcome to the Highlands, Lad

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

I arrived in Edinburgh around 7pm. It was already getting dark so picture taking opportunities were slim. The rest of the day was little more than eating, chatting and going to bed. I couldn’t believe how exhausted I had finally become. By 4am I was ready to sleep. In fact, I couldn’t even keep my [...]

Je Dois Dire Au Revoir à Paris

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

It is hard to believe that I didn’t take one picture today. I just didn’t have the time or the energy. Because of getting to bed so late last night/this morning I didn’t even wake until about 12:30pm. After that I had some laundry to do and some basic errands to run. By the time [...]

Paris Chic

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

Day 7 in Paris has been one busy day. Busy enough that I now have two bruises on my feet; one on each foot just below the toes where apparently I put most of my weight on the downstep. I feel like such a tenderfoot today. The day began as normal. I woke up, went [...]

And On The Seventh Day He Rested

Monday, February 25th, 2008

Today was a bit of a slow day. I didn’t wake up until late thanks to this new method of sleeping I found called “pulling the blanket over your head to create a dark setting.” It works like a charm. I suggest everyone try it! When I finally did wake up though I shared a [...]
