Back when I was a coffee snob, I thought that it would be cool to have this, an empty, used, sack of coffee on my kitchen wall as decoration. Its time is up – and I have decided to remove it from my walls and, uh, donate it to…. Uh… I guess bio-trash? Or […] Last August I visited Boston where I walked the Freedom Trail. While there’s a lot of good things to say about the Freedom Trail in theory (great idea!), practically speaking, it has many issues. Certainly, I enjoyed many moments on the trail, including seeing this statue of Paul Revere with the famous North Church […] 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 […] I bought the above painting while visiting Santa Fe, New Mexico. According to my receipt, I paid $70 for it on October 22, 2015, at Keshi, the Zuni Connection – an absolutely amazing jewelry boutique located near the city center.

But I look at it from across the room and it brings back memories of […] Every once in awhile I have an experience that reminds me the importance of walking out of a business – or a taxi. Back in 2007, I took a taxi from Brussels Airport to a hotel – and when the taxi driver had trouble with his meter, I ordered him to stop the taxi at […] While in Boston, I made a point of visiting the 9/11 Memorial located at Boston Logan Airport. It is a very nicely done, small, memorial located near Terminal A and the Hilton Hotel. According to Massport, Remember this day. This memorial is a place of contemplation, reflection and remembrance for a world impacted by […] When initially planning my trip, I had envisioned going from the Great Sand Dunes to Laramie, Wyoming, taking the mountain route: The Rockies are a dramatic backdrop and there are lots of trails to hike and things to do.
