I have not been trapped under a large piece of furniture, contrary to what one might assume. Although if I were to be trapped under a large piece of furniture, I’d like to imagine it would be something ridiculously obscure like a sarcophagus or a pipe organ. I became slightly obsessed with the idea of…
Breathe. That’s the advice I give myself every morning when I wake up. It’s one thing I know I can do. I’ve been lax in posting the past couple of weeks as I’ve made a major career shift and I’m anticipating a couple of months in the weeds as I wind down my old practice…
Its the end of the first weekend of March Madness. My bracket is still fairly intact except for Kansas. (Rock Chalk Jayhawk was not giving me any love today!) And that’s just the beginning of the weekly update. I’m one week down in my new position at a new firm and settling in nicely. I…
It’s almost spring here around the Jetsetter’s Homestead. This past week was another week on the road doing site work followed by a weekend of spring cleaning at home. I’ve been getting things in order because I start working for a new firm tomorrow… my first time in twenty years to start somewhere new as…
Oh what a week it has been! I have enjoyed my featured slot on BoardingArea. I write in real-time and my plan for the week originally was to spend some time recapping normal travel things (more dispatches from my extended Indonesian trip, solo cruising, a side-by-side comparison of Delta/American in 2015, and perhaps even a little…
Let me get this right out there – I live in Texas for a reason. Easy access to anywhere in the US, proximity to family, my beautiful hometown of Fort Worth, and occasionally great weather. But a few times a year I begin to question my decision when the weather gets yucky. I am usually above going…
Greetings from the Hyatt Regency DFW where I’m waiting out the impending ice storm. I’m due to fly to Buffalo tomorrow (insert “out of frying pan, into fire” style comment here) and know better than to try to drive in Texas when this stuff hits. So I’m camped out watching the Oscars and hoping that…
I’m all about those throws… beads, beads, and more beads could easily sum up my week. But that wasn’t the only good part for the weekly recap. It’s been a good week from all sides. I got my car back, I’m in New Orleans for one of my favorite weekends, and things at work are good….
It’s Sunday morning here in the OC (which no one who lives here actually calls it) and that means it is time for the weekly recap here at its new date (Sundays). My former Sunday morning Around Prior2Boarding post has moved to Saturday mornings. I’m looking out at a hazy February day that will hopefully burn…
The rumors of my demise are greatly exaggerated. And I did not literally get trapped under a heavy object. Although figuratively speaking, it has felt that way. The reality has been that life this last week hit the apex of “crazy busy”. I knew it would and should have planned for it – for the…
Happy Monday! What a week… I don’t know where to begin. I started off the week talking about Uber earnings (and whether they clear minimum wage now) in my own market with recent rate reductions. And then less than 48 hours later, I suddenly found myself sitting on the side of the road – a…
Greetings from home… after five trips already this year, it was nice to wake up in my own bed this morning. It was especially nice given that I woke up sick. Almost like clockwork, I get sick every year right around the last weeks of January. Usually its the result of the time zone hopping…
