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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I have put up Day Four and Day Five of images from Edinburgh. You can view them here.
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
