I’m squatting down on the floor of the casino gift shop, hoping to hell that no one calls security. I’m clutching my iPhone, set on speaker mode and mute, and giving the evil eye to anyone who dares to walk within three feet of me. Yes, I’m working. Really, I am. It might not seem…
I am not one to jump on the fad bandwagon. And celebrity endorsements don’t make me want to try things I might not otherwise. But when I’m traveling abroad, I’m usually game to try a local treatment or two. I journeyed to Beijing for Memorial Day weekend thanks to the now infamous $400-ish business class…
Today in the middle of a yoga class, I sat down on my mat and started crying. Big wet tears running down my face, my body was overriding my brain. I don’t like crying in public. I don’t mind crying – it can be cathartic – but I don’t like crying in front of other people. …

Lately I’ve developed a regular craving for chicken wings. I don’t think it has anything to do with the project I’ve been working in Buffalo, but perhaps it does. Unlike traditional Buffalo wings, however, I sometimes like a little bit of sweet with my heat. After some experimentation, I’ve concocted this easy recipe for sriracha…
Do you ever get in a rut? A travel pattern that becomes habit either through intentional repetition or accidental momentum? Do you catch yourself saying “I always stay at this hotel” or “we cruise to the Caribbean every April” or “this is what I do every time I arrive at the airport”? It could be a…
I will always be a Fort Worth girl, no matter where I roam. I’m also unapologetically a huge geek – and always have been. The intersection of those two data points make me one of the saddest to hear about the death of Radio Shack. The hometown company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection yesterday…
I’m in week five of one of my busiest travel quarters in over a decade. I’m starting to feel the strain of the push/pull of several small trips running together (tomorrow will start my fourth weekend in a row to be gone) that are intermixed with lots of short weekday trips. All of these have…
