The van pulled over and we climbed out of the vehicle into a sea of friendly merchants. With tourists stopping by all day, the vendors set up and greet you with ‘buen precio and muy barato” (good prices and very cheap). Only after you navigate through the wood carvings, silver souvenirs, and the other assorted […]
Sunset Sunday – NYC Marathon, Central Park
On New York City Marathon Sunday, you can usually find me in Central Park when the sun sets, but I start that day by waking up early to watch the race (the professionals), enjoy a long leisurely brunch and then head to experience one New York City’s best experiences, the joy of cheering for all […]
Cheering for Everyone, the Joy of the NYC Marathon
This year I will miss an annual tradition. This weekend I will not be there to support the thousands who lace up and run the NYC marathon from the sidelines. But even from a distance (I am in Mexico) I will take a moment on Sunday to cheer. To mark the occasion, I decided to […]
Sunset Sunday – Edinburgh, Scotland

Legends of the Fall – The Campus Crasher Tradition Continues

Sometimes you have a moment. A connection not easily described by logic or reason. You really just feel alive, in tune with everything. One. Whole. I tend to find these majestic moments while watching the sunset. In those moments, I take the time to appreciate the day, to listen. Such moments occur for each of […]
Sunset Sunday – Upstate New York
A family reunion took me to upstate New York this summer. To be honest, I held little appreciation for my state outside of what I knew. Growing up, New York consisted of Long Island and the city. And when people mentioned New York – well that was New York City. Ignorance might be bliss at times, […]
Fall Foliage – Hocking Hills, Ohio
Last year I accepted an invitation to Hocking Hills, Ohio. Where? Exactly. But this relatively unknown Buckeye State destination left quite an impression on me. In the region, originally formed by Glacier run-off, visitors can explore and discover a unique micro-climate, truly taste a slice of America Appalachia and experience some of the best stargazing […]
