Back in May 2010, I desperately needed a vacation – it’s hard to describe how much I needed to get away in that moment.
I ended up in Antalya, Turkey, for several nights – flying Sky Airlines to and from the city.
The airsickness bag, one of only a small number I’ve ever taken […]
It’s been awhile since I featured something penile – so, today, the 100th Whatchamacallit, I went with my Cola Willies box.
The box and its contents were a present from a friend – somebody who clearly knows that I like penile objects (and the inspiration of penile objects).
I don’t recall what they tasted […]
Last fall I took a week off to explore and hike throughout The Gaspésie peninsula of Québec, Canada.
I extolled the virtues of my vacation last November – about a month after I got home. Even now, some 9 months after I was there, I miss that particular trip. My analysis of it in […]
I miss when America was great.
During the Covid-19 crisis, I am going to try and make a point of writing a blog post about an object in my home.
We’ll see how long this lasts.
This Bull Head Bourbon, produced by the Lake George Distilling Company, is batch 62, bottle 95, bottled on October 24, 2019. From there, it was stuck on a truck and delivered, eventually, to a liquor store near Wall Street, which is where I purchased it between Christmas and New Year’s a few months ago.

Few people see or use US$2 bills on a regular basis – even rarer is the above 1963 Red Seal $2 Bill.
While the modern $2 bill has an image of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, this one features Monticello.
Given the condition of this note, while it is probably […]
I picked up this hat last August while visiting Boston – and going to two Red Sox games. I actually bought this the second night – and the decision to buy it was the Pride coloring.
Baseball is truly the sole sport that I enjoy watching – it’s relaxing and laid back – slow […]
This painting, Whisky with a View, currently hangs above my whisk(e)y collection.
I bought it directly from Julie Galante, the artist, for £100 plus £12 shipping and handling in August 2016.
There are quite a few things that this painting reminds me: the obvious whisk(e)y connection, sitting above my whisk(e)y collection, the glimpse of […]
Back during the 1997-98 academic year at the University of Wyoming, I did something brave and, for Wyoming, cutting edge: I took Safe Zone training.
I tried to do it on the sly, but outside the conference room I remember that I ran into a friend and somehow had to explain what I was […]
I bought the above turquoise bracelet in 2013 while visiting New Mexico – the same trip when I bought Whatchamacallit 18, the Navajo Plant Dye Chart.
As I’ve noted before, I am not really a huge jewelry person, rarely wearing it. This is one of those things that I rarely wear. That’s not to say […]

TQE : That Queer Expatriate I'm an American living in Berlin, Germany -- which makes me an expatriate, not an ex-patriot. Before landing in Germany, I've lived in Denver, Colorado; Laramie, Wyoming; Bloomington, Indiana; and Weimar, Germany. If you want to write to me, feel free!
