Today was the first time in twenty years I have watched my father get ready. I was reading Steinbeck in a musty hotel chair in Monterey when he walked out of the hotel bathroom clad in a white t-shirt and olive slacks. Both were pressed. He pulled up his pants, strung his black belt, rubbed […]

Writers writing should not join gamblers gambling. It’s just bad. And writers should definitely not go gambling when in the midst of writing a book. It’s just stupid.
But, oh so much fun.

A lot of us move to D.C. never expecting to call it home. It’s the city people come to for metropolitan opportunities and cosmopolitan experiences. Or just to escape. For all of those reasons, I was one of those people. Then Belize happened, but I’m getting ahead of myself.

After all, I am from D.C.  And yes, it is true, lawyers and sharks do mix.
All jokes aside, losing one’s lunch in a “resort” outhouse 55 miles from the nearest continent was not the highlight of my Belize adventure vacation. Snorkeling in crystal clear Caribbean waters, watching sunrises and sunsets on a nearly deserted island, and […]

Yes, you read right, I spent last weekend hanging out with the cows.
And I’m […]

Took a drive up America’s spine recently. It was one of those, “I can’t be here,” “me either,” kind of trips. So we threw hastily packed bags into the trunk, three dollar gas into the tank, and found ourselves driving.
We were on a road trip. We were off to escape. And we were “escaping” by […]

2007 was boring. Really boring. There was a 10,000 mile book tour, a handful of road races, in and out of the car, falling in love with Kerouac and Vonnegut, approximately $1,050 in parking tickets, drinks in Monte Carlo and the train jumping debacle, two car accidents, losing mucho dinero in Vegas to those impossible […]
