Fathers, be good to your daughters/Daughters will love like you do… -John Mayer One week ago, I returned home from a trip to the town where I grew up, Bellevue, Washington. I had not been out to visit in nearly three years, although my mother and father had made a couple of trips to visit [...]

Stuck (happily) in New York for the weekend
Posted in Coney Island, Travel on February 22, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
This is the most awesome travel delay ever. I woke up this morning in Nanuet for my last day with my current client, only to discover that the snow that had been predicted all week had started to fall early and in greater quantities than first thought. My scheduled flight home tonight had been canceled [...]

I know I promised you a story about my Indiana trip last weekend, so here it is. On Sunday afternoon, I headed to the Greenville/Spartanburg airport to catch a late-afternoon flight to Washington, DC, where I would connect at Reagan National (I can hardly bear to call it that) to a flight going to Indianapolis.

Remind me never to schedule a return trip on the Friday of a holiday weekend out of LAX

…and now I’ve come to get it back. Yes, I have returned to San Francisco for the first time in eight years. Eight years ago, I was on my way to being accepted into the University of San Francisco’s M.A. program in creative writing. I was thinking about making this place my home for a [...]
Goodbye my Coney Island baby

I hopped the 6 a.m. bus to New York on Saturday morning, just to spend a few hours in Manhattan and Brooklyn. I won’t be able to do that so easily for much longer, so I needed to say my goodbyes. Coney Island was so quiet. I got there around 11 a.m., before most of [...]

I’m feeling a little beachy today, so here’s a photo of one near Newport, Rhode Island. My husband and I went there for thanksgiving this past year…. we stayed at the Inn at Newport Beach, in Middletown. This photo was taken just outside the inn. Nice place. I love the ocean. Since I grew up [...]
