Sampling the Wine and Sake of Oregon

Last month I headed up to Portland and Seattle for a brief personal holiday of sorts (because we all know how extremely busy I am on a day to day basis), and while in Oregon, I met up with my friend Meeshie for some raucous good times. Of the various adventures we had though, nothing …

FLIGHT BLOG: New York to LA Live!

Well, here I am. On another plane. But unlike my recent Alaska and Jetblue excursions, this time I’m on American Airlines, and you know what that means — GoGo in flight wireless! That means that I am writing to you live from the skies, relaying useful and petty information AS IT HAPPENS. The glories of technology. …

Awful Toddler Ruins What Could Have Been A Delightful Transcontinental Flight

Today I flew from Los Angeles to New York, and I had the supreme displeasure of being seated directly behind the world’s worst toddler. I knew this kid was bad news way back at Burbank airport when he came running up to me and HID behind my luggage. I don’t like when unruly children with …

My First Attempt At Yoga

For the past several months, I’ve been promising various friends that I would try yoga, but every time I try to get my act together, something comes up, and the whole endeavor falls apart. It’s been quite frustrating for all parties involved. Well, this past weekend, whilst summering in sunny (yes, sunny) Seattle, my friend …

ALASKA FLIGHT BLOG: We Flyin' First Class Up In The Sky!

Ardent readers of this blog may have noticed that content has been somewhat lacking over the past few days. That’s because I’ve been touring the Pacific Northwest, enjoying the sights and sounds (and various libations) of Portland and Seattle. Well, now I’m back, but of course I couldn’t just FLY somewhere without sharing the experience …

ADVENTURES IN PUTT-PUTT: Best of Boomers Palm Springs Shoot-Out Edition

Last weekend, my friend Jash and I drove out to Palm Springs for the day to meet up with Sly, who was on Holiday with our college friend Rodrigo. Of course, by the time Jash and I arrived in the desert resort town, Sly and Rodrigo were in the throes of poolside relaxation twenty miles …

FLIGHT LIVE BLOG: Flying Back To LA — Curse of the Ginny Seat

Well, I’m back up in the air and headed back to Los Angeles, and I’m proud to report that there’s no Ginny in sight. I was a little concerned that my arch-nemesis would be returning to the Left Coast with me, but thankfully, she’s nowhere to be seen. Perhaps there’s an urgent candy cane blazer …

The Exciting Conclusion of The Flight Blog, Or The Time I Got Yelled At By A Woman On A Plane

People. People, people, people. I just endured a horrifically awkward ninety minutes on an airplane, and admittedly it was really my own fault. I was live blogging my flight from Los Angeles to New York, and as I am wont to do, I fixated on random minutia in the cabin, particularly that which emanated from …

ADVENTURES IN FOLKSY AUTUMNAL ACTIVITIES: Bloggers of the Corn Edition

If this blog seemed particularly quiet on Friday, it’s because I spent half that day getting in touch with my inner farmer. That’s right, in a shocking departure from my usual urban adventures, I headed north to the San Fernando Valley and visited Forneris Farms, a random outpost in Mission Hills, CA that’s home to …
