Day 1 – depart for Zurich It’s that time of year. Time to explore a new place. This trip is seeing me go “high tech”. Well for me, anyways. I most have made the switch to an e-ticket / check-in (Mostly… I still print out the tickets just in case. Especially as there are two … Continue reading Switzerland and Strasbourg
Goodbye, my sweet baby…
Goodbye, Sylvie I said goodbye to my sweet baby today. A little over 18 1/2 years ago I went to the Humane Society and picked up this cute little one-year-old black cat. She was a tiny, little thing. And she never really grew much bigger as the years passed. The sign at the Humane Society … Continue reading Goodbye, my sweet baby…
Return from NYC
Back from a wonderful trip to NYC, which I'll admit made me miss the East Coast! Everything fell into place so well and was interesting and fun. The public transport was a breeze, save for one day when my train got rerouted and sent me in a completely different direction than I had been intending … Continue reading Return from NYC
Strange day
Strange day I’ve had. It started with the odd woman at the bus stop. Peculiar thing yet strangely familiar. She was dressed very smartly with a long, dark dress coat and dyed magenta hair. Her dangling Frida Kahlo earrings matched the large, pink Frida Kahlo bag that she clutched while staring forward with an intense … Continue reading Strange day
Surprise song at a gay bar
Ventured into a gay bar this evening and heard this gem (Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order) and it was like I was awakened. I was dancing in my chair and singing. It felt great. This must be what most people there feel whenever the latest popular dance song comes on. Made me wish there … Continue reading Surprise song at a gay bar
Minneapolis – dating sites
So I've met a whole slew of people from dating sites recently and I'm learning that I either need to move, change my orientation, or possibly both... It makes me laugh how quickly people move on. Even if it seems like there could be some friendly connection. I know I for one can't tell from … Continue reading Minneapolis – dating sites

Istanbul-Dubrovnik-Montenegro-Zagreb-Plitvice Lakes-Venice Day 1 It’s been a long while since I’ve done one of these. Much more complicated these days. Looking forward to unplugging from work and the usual routine and replugging in to something that always really feeds my soul.

Chile & Peru
Checking out a continent that is new to me. Happened accidentally as it often does for me. No joke. I had no idea I’d go to Ireland a few years ago but the flights were cheap and I was like, “hmm. I’ve never been /there/...” I was planning to go to New Zealand and Australia … Continue reading Chile & Peru
Thailand (Bangkok, Krabi) and Cambodia (Siem Reap, Angkor Wat)
Day 1 My first trip to Asia. I got through security so I’m in that time between then and boarding when part of me wants to lie on the floor and take a nap. I’m not sure why I get so stressed out by that whole process. And trek to get here. And the arranging … Continue reading Thailand (Bangkok, Krabi) and Cambodia (Siem Reap, Angkor Wat)
