Going Home.
Having come back to America from the Middle East, there was a requirement to head back home and see mom and dad. I utilized the initial couple weeks being back in the USA to handle the things that need to be handle after a year abroad. There was finding an apartment, rifling through loads of […]

Adjusting to the Weather.
It’s been a minute since I’ve left, what had become, my desert home. I have to say that of the small number of things I enjoyed about the desert, the heat would be number one. It’s interesting to me how something like the weather can have a lasting effect on people’s impressions of a place. […]

On My Way To Petra.
So…today started out as chaos. I got up super early, so I could get to the Jett Bus station and be the first one in line. The man I talked with yesterday on the phone said to be at the bus station at 0600 to get a ticket. Figuring earlier is better, I decided to […]

Who knew? I’ve been fortunate enough to have spent time in several desert settings. The deserts of Turkey were serene most day. […]

I just want to watch the luge.
Growing up a mere hour and one half from Lake Placid, it shouldn’t seem unusual to anyone that I am a great fan of the Olympics. I love the olympics! All of it. All the sports (okay, figure skating not so much). I love the stories, the different places on the globe, the designs of […]

Sick … sucks.
I’m actually at the point where I’m just starting to feel better. Made it to the gym for the first time in a week. For the last week I’ve been sick. Nothing traumatic, just your standard head/chest cold. But, let me assure you that, when in the desert, being sick sucks. Like any good red […]
