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 […]

Saving Fall. And my new pet deer.
November 13th, 2007 · Comments Off
Fall Has Been Canceled After 3 Billion Seasons according to a recent article in the Onion. This required immediate investigation as fall is the best season. Ever. See Moffett make for the Blue Ridge Mountains. (Or as the Colorado side of the family likes to say, “the East Coast Hills.”) I will let the pictures and […]

Moffett Back. Sort Of.
October 17th, 2007 · 3 Comments
So I’m back. And as I stare at this picture, I have to wonder what I was thinking to get on that return flight.
Moving on…
Thanks to guest bloggers Linda, Jarod, Missy, and Book Reviewer for their contributions in my absence.
Now it appears I must do my own thinking and writing. Coming off ten days in the […]

What Vegas Can Do To You. And the Pussycat Dolls. And the Ghost Bar. And…

View from the glass-encased balcony at Ghost Bar, on the 55th floor of the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas, NV.
I was in Las Vegas for a few days this week attending a conference aimed primarily at statisticians. The conference was informative enough but it was made abundantly clear, I’m sad to say, that not much […]

Guest Blogger Palooza. Moffett Out. October 4-14th.

Dear Gentle Readers and Bored Workaholics,
I am taking a ten day hiatus from life. In my world, “life” includes electronic equipment. In an effort not to loose your interest, I have asked several diverse and gifted guest bloggers to share their talents with you while I’m away, as well as collected a few “presents” to leave […]

Amazon Bookstore Cooperative
Minneapolis, MN
Minneapolis. Home of the world’s cleanest streets, biggest t-shirts, and craziest cats. And my brother. Hello built in tour guide. Or something like that. Upon arrival, he introduced me to his world. This would mean the sans humid 70’s of beautiful Uptown Minneapolis, and his bohemian cool friends, which I am taking […]

Running of the Elvises. Book Tour. Week 11.
August 20th, 2007 · 1 Comment
On this final week of book tour, I was afforded a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Something people around the world people dream of experiencing.
You know what it is.
The Running of the Elvises.
Just think of it. Over fifty people dressed up to look like Elvis, ranging from full on white, flared, studded costumes, to pairs of massive […]

Are you Sam’s Sister?
August 18th, 2007 · No Comments
My brother is graciously playing host while I’m in Minneapolis. I thought to repay him by letting him know that e.v.e.r.y.o.n.e. wants to be Sam’s sister. So I took it upon myself to create a one of a kind t-shirt and, well, I’m hoping he’ll speak to me again. Someday.

Moffett Meanderings. Minneapolis, MN. More book tour.

Moffett Meanderings. En route to Minneapolis, Mn.
Benefits of air travel.
An airplane is the one place it is acceptable to eat Pringles and drink bad Chilean Chardonnay.
In a word: incommunicado.
Finally had a moment to read my mail and answer some correspondences…from May.
Obtain reinforcement for my blissful happiness to not have children via the screaming 8 month […]

Tattered Cover
Denver, CO
There are bookstores. Then there is the Tattered Cover. Situated on Colfax Avenue in Denver, it occupies a former theater with lofty, high ceilings, and is composed of achingly tall bookshelves, velvety green carpeting, and a world of books unlike any I had ever seen. Walking in, I half expected to hear the […]
