Flying eye-level to thunderheads and over a seemingly calm, sky blue ocean, I was reminded today of our impact — on situations, on the world and on each other. From the ground, the air feels humid. Still. Stuffy. Only when we’re above the clouds do we see how much of an impact they really can […]
My parents used to love walking through model homes. I think they still do, but they don’t do it as much as I remember from my childhood. Housing tracts, condo complexes, town homes — everything new was fair game to look at and walk through. I’m not sure if the goal was ever to move, […]
I’ve always been fascinated by the moon. Its beauty is something that’s magical and captivating, and I’ve been under its spell ever since I was a child. I asked for a telescope one year for Christmas, maybe around the age of 7 or 8. I was certain it would take the moon to new heights […]
There’s nothing I enjoy doing more on an airplane than taking advantage of a cheese and fruit plate, accompanied by a glass of wine or cocktail. The elements may not be of the highest quality, but…hello — I’m on a plane. In the air. Watching the world go by. And there are delicious delights resting […]
I’m proud to say that if I miss my exit or street, I won’t cut you off or blindly make my move, hoping that you see me and make room. I will proceed in a sane manner to the next possible place where I can turn around. I did this twice tonight. The first instance […]
Do you ever do things outside of your work hours that are the exact, complete opposite of your 9-5 (or whatever your hours are) activities? Your 9-5 might be an office, a truck going from here to there, it can be parenting, customer service in the retail sector, teaching, a courthouse, a gym, an airport […]
A pre-flight wine flight did wonders for my acceptance of our delayed departure. The seat-back digital button pusher and screaming infant immediately behind me, however, were trying my patience. The storm was moving in quickly and, despite the crew’s urging to board swiftly in order to beat the weather, the usual passenger dawdling ensued. As […]
After nearly a month of doing a pseudo-vegan diet to fit into a snug [understatement] bridesmaid dress, I cut loose and set my tastebuds free today. A nearby vineyard was my target, and I had a sneaking suspicion I’d be making up for lost time. Before I knew it, I was taking down a foot-long […]
I’m not sure if it was because I’d embarked on some crazy vegan diet shenanigans, whether it was the altitude, my early morning cocktail or if it was due to getting three hours of sleep last night. Whatever it was, it gave me buttercream dreams somewhere over New Mexico. I woke up after dozing for […]
I knew it was going to be a long day, but I didn’t think it’d be this long. I nearly forgot to blog, something that shocked the heck out of me. The day before a trip is always the longest — for me, anyway. Part of it is driven by my need to have things […]
