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.
Six years ago, I left the rolling […]

Dolphins? Please. I swim with barracudas.

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 […]

Tiny Tim Rides Again
April 1st, 2008 · No Comments
Cowboys are getting tiny.
After my Houston Rodeo Adventure, the above picture of little man Logan Stanaland was forwarded to me. He was one of many up and coming insurance liabilities and/or cowboys participating in the Nacogdoches Pro Rodeo and Steer Show.
To see Logan get run over by the mutton, and other rodeo related mayhem, click here. […]

“We don’t use 911. We use Smith & Wesson.”

Welcome to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. John Deer Tractors, $300,000 steers, cowboy hats, angry bulls, signs such as the one above, and the worlds largest belt buckles, e-v-e-r, were just a few of the sights I took in this past weekend.
Yes, you read right, I spent last weekend hanging out with the cows.
And I’m […]

When the Martinis Won’t Fix It
March 3rd, 2008 · 3 Comments
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. Over. FINALLY.
January 1st, 2008 · 6 Comments
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 […]

Philadelphia Marathon Recovery.
November 21st, 2007 · Comments Off
My legs work again. Sort of. For all of you wonderful souls that have been so supportive after the I-beat-Katie-Holmes-Barely Philadelphia Marathon, bless you. For those that participated or cheered or wish you had stayed home in bed, here are the latest and greatest in home made memories. And no, they are not mine. I document […]
I beat Katie Holmes. Barely. Philadelphia Marathon 2007.

My body is broken. At least, it feels like it is. Yesterday was the Philadelphia Marathon. I joined masses of crazed runners to pace out Historical Philly beginning at the ungodly hour of 7 a.m.
It is one thing to eat breakfast and sip warm goodness at 7 a.m. It is quite another to go hither […]
