I acquired this hat on August 8, 2018, while attending University of Wyoming Night at the Colorado Rockies – hence it has Steamboat (the bucking horse) and his rider in Colorado Rockies colors and “Go Pokes” embroidered down the side. A tasteful CR logo adorns the back.
The game was against the Pittsburgh Pirates […]
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 […]
In early April 2014 I visited Seoul, a city that I can easily imagine living in. I’ve actually visited the city twice.
I’ve told any number of people that if you told me today that I would have to move to South Korea tomorrow that I would say, “Wow – that will be challenging […]
I realized that, theoretically, today I am flying back from a weekend in London. In an alternative universe, had I not travelled to London, I would have headed to the north side of Berlin for a Berlin Flamingos Baseball Game against the Hamburg Stealers.
For reasons that I’d rather not explain too clearly, I […]
Looking at my Covid-19 postings, I realized that I have not yet shown any of my Japanese (or other East Asian) belongings.
Much of this boils down to aesthetics: I love visiting Japan, South Korea, and Thailand – but the typical art that they hang on their walls is not art that I want […]
I lost my father five years ago this coming February – this is not something I actually spend a great deal of time dwelling upon, but rather he comes to mind at some of the oddest moments.
When I least expect it, he pops into mind – environments where I don’t think I would have […]

I’m winging my way south tonight – leaving the northern hemisphere, heading toward parts I’ve never visited before. I have been south before: South Africa and Swaziland – but I am very much biased toward the northern hemisphere in my travels.
While in Japan I attended three baseball games – on […]
View from my hotel room in Seoul — third floor of the Hotel Manu. I would stay at Hotel Manu again.
My trip from Berlin to Seoul was long – and while none of the travel, in and of itself, was stressful, by the time I got to Seoul Saturday evening, I was completely […]
Welcome to Mazda Zoom Zoom Stadium, 3rd base side, 14th section, row 30, seat L231.
I will readily admit that the reason for my Japanese vacation is completely and utterly insane.
I went to Japan to watch the Hiroshima Toyo Carp play baseball.
At some point it occurred to me that I haven’t been […]
Yesterday, while killing some time, I picked up and started to read Mikey Walsh’s Gypsy Boy, an autobiographical tale of his upbringing as a Romany Gypsy in the United Kingdom.
He reflects back upon one of his Christmas presents – the ones when he received, as a four year old, a battery operated quad bike […]
