I Love Too Many Time Zones
Here I am in London on a heinous seven-hour lay-over on my way to Lisbon. I have that happy nausea feeling that comes from the sketch-sleep you get on aeroplanes, or from collegiate all-nighters. (Or maybe it is the man sitting five, six, seven, eight seats away from me with his shoes off. His […]

Maryland, My Maryland
I am headed back to Maryland tomorrow for a long weekend and a wedding. Hooray for some long hugs with my family. Oh Maryland, where this week some folks in College Park made 50,000 cupcakes to give away on Maryland Day. (Photo by Sabine01)

San Fran Break-Fast
Well, after about twelve weeks of my travel fast, I’m taking off for a weekend in San Francisco. I’ve never been to the fair city. I am excited. I’m also excited that the two books that I read ahead for classes happen to be the very two books in which ten pages of papers are […]

Mobile upload. Union Station
The Amtrak lady took one look at me and said “Sorry. No bikes allowed on this train today.” And then my eyebrows went sky high. And then she giggled. Amtrak lady got me. The train is delayed so I’m power reading. There’s a guy behind me going to Carpinteria and wearing a large cowboy hat. […]

Mobile upload. LA metro
The weekend rucksack definately changed my center of gravity on the bike ride to the metro. But I made it.

Biking to Santa Barbara
To commemorate my second day of 28 years of age, I am trying something new. I’m biking from the Klein house in Altadena to Santa Barbara. Sweet Jesse Borden is planning a tri-birthday bonfire for Elise, Trevor, and I tonight. How could I miss that? Yes, I’ll be using some Metros and Amtraks and possibly […]

I Fly With Crickets
I am on a flight heading west, and I’m blogging from my phone, like a silly star trek girl. I’m in Houston on stopover watching a strange sight from my plane window. The baggage people are loading six, no, seven large boxes of live crickets into the cargo hold. Hmmm.

In Review
I’m flying back to California this morning, after a nice it’s-almost-my-birthday weekend with my family. My Mama (yet again) made me more carrot cake than I could eat. I wish I could share it with you. Last night I ended up chatting with Rosie Thomas, in the most unsuspecting of places. I was washing my […]

EKG Me, Mr. Prophylactic
I had to go to the E.R. tonight. I’ve been having these weird heart-palpitations since I got back from Africa, and today they were on the rise. I was just shrugging it off as little-girl excitement over my transcontinental-skipping and my upcoming move to California. That was until nurse Mama Rose said, “I think you […]

Sky Blogging
I’m blogging from the sky on my flight back to Baltimore. I almost always request the aisle seat because I think it’s the seat with the most freedom. I can get up and skip down the aisle if I like to. I am sitting next to a bona fide arm-rest hogger. Travelers, you know these […]

Tsunami Warning
Ladies and Gents, I survived my very first tsunami warning. We took a nice road-trip down to Dar es Salaam on the Tanzanian coast to visit Young Life Africa’s illustrious Dyan Larmey. (Oh, I love Dyan!) It was such a nice visit. But then late last night a guy out in the road yelled in […]
