I’ve been on vacation in Sedona since last Saturday, but I’ve yet to catch more than a fleeting glimpse of the sun: Although the sunrises have been glorious, each day has gotten soggier as the hours have worn on. Today was different. I awoke to rain and thick fog. I decided to skip my usual […]


Sedona’s energy vortexes may be the world’s largest invisible tourist attraction: Every year, thousands of people come to experience what they describe as a subtle energy that emanates from the earth. I’m not exactly a New-Age-crystals-and-incense type. But still, I wondered if there might be something behind the hype. So this morning I set out […]


Today may be the shortest day of the year but to me it has seemed interminable. Steve is ill and the weather is crappy, so I’ve spent most of my day in the apartment. And in doing so I’ve learned three valuable lessons: (1) cable TV sucks; (2) beer tastes better chilled; and (3) refried […]

It’s been a big year, travel-wise: In March, I visited my parents in Florida. Then I spent two weeks in Paris. Shortly after, I attended a family reunion in Williamsburg.
