Back in December 2018, I spent a week in Bogota, arriving on December 24th, departing on December 31st.
It was an extraordinarily nice, low key, vacation – including a graffiti tour on Christmas Day, a food tour, a post-conflict tour, and a trip out to view the countryside.
Really, it was generally fantastic.

A couple weeks ago, just before Easter, I took a long lunch and wandered by Berlin’s branch of Galeries Lafayette, the French department store. It’s actually quite convenient to my office and since I had forgotten to prepare a dish for a party I was attending, it’s basement boutique grocery store gave me the opportunity […]
Yesterday I had a meeting with somebody and I brought with me a bar of chocolate for him.

Me, I get them one out of every four trips to the movies in Europe and for some odd reason, I had a Crispy M&M […]
I am in Detroit, and I am happy to report I have been fully inspected.
This morning, at the first security checkpoint in Frankfurt, I learned that my Timberland Boots contain just enough metal to set off the metal detector. Having learned my lesson, I took off my boots at the second checkpoint, only to […]
It’s been a memorable week for my clothing. It started Thursday when I showed up at the office wearing a black undershirt with a crimson-red shirt and a pair of blue jeans. No big deal, except that a few hours later one of my colleagues showed up wearing an identical set of clothing.
That wasn’t […]
