I’ve been traveling a lot these past six weeks, which always seems to happen to me in late winter/early spring. I come out of this not-unpleasant seasonal affective disorder hibernation and all of a sudden trips appear out of the blue and it’s all HURRY, HURRY YOU’RE GOING TO MISS YOUR FLIGHT ZOMG WHERE’S MY […]

Tomorrow I’m headed to NYC again. It’s a short trip for work (I’ll be on a panel at Blogher Business), but I’m going to get to see my friend Tim. Here’s a video of the last time I saw Tim in New York — this at the Top of the Rock. We were enchanted by […]

It just wouldn’t be fun without a few WTF/oops moments, right?

This weekend Dre and I went on a little retreat to Harbin Hotsprings, a hippie hotsprings resort a few hours north of SF. We have a friend who lives/works there with his partner, and we figured what better excuse to visit than having a hippie host to show us the ropes?
We had a most delicious […]

I’ve arrived in Chicago for BlogHer, and am totally loving the hotel room that Jen snagged for us. The W pretty much rocks, although the cheezy pasta room service was totally meh. Oh and the light in the swanky bathroom is sort of unflattering. But whatever: 300 threadcount sheets are making me very very happy. […]

Dre and I just got back from almost a week in Montana,
visiting first with his dad’s side of the family and then his mom’s.
I managed to have a great time despite the 100-degree heat, thanks to many MANY jumps into Flathead Lake. Check out the […]

This weekend Dre and I went camping and hiking with my dad and Sassafras. Dre’s posted his pictures, and I’ll be posting mine in little batches over the next few days. Here are my pics so far. Keep watching the set.
The moral of […]

While I sit here navel gazing until I become the psychological equivalent of a klein bottle, I would like to inform you that posting may be slight this week because I’m heading to Los Angeles tomorrow night. While there, I intend to mostly talk, smoke, and laze about in the sun with friends not thinking […]

I owe y’all a summary of my time on the East Coast. There’s a lot to tell, so prepare yourselves.
