Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! I promise that this is the last of the “Honeymoon Chronicles” retelling. That means that September 13 and 14 from six years ago is this… So, last we visited we had had a very beer-filled day in Bruges; high gravity and The Beer Museum and what not. Well, this is Bruges – Belgium, I…
Salutations™!! I know it’s Saturday but I need to get through this. Honestly, it gets hard to keep up when I’m skipping and chopping up the days. But, that being said, I’m really enjoying my own blog walking down this path. The BCPF and I talk about our honeymoon all the time but these accounts…
Salutations™!! I messed up yesterday, Dear Reader. I stopped before I was done. But, it was a long post and this one is, too, so we will double up next time I post about it. This is from six years ago yesterday. Briefly before that, though. Today is the 19th anniversary of finding out that…
Salutations™!! In this post, I talk about what happened when we visited Disneyland Paris, six years ago today. Copied from the original “Honeymoon Chronicles” post. Bonjour, mes amis. This is Day 3 in Paris! Oui, oh oui! Beautiful older couple on Paris sidewalk When we last left the blogosphere of The Honeymoon Chronicles, The BCPF…
Salutations™!! So far this week, meaning today, we published two podcasts on The Less Desirables Network. First, on The Man Who Ate the Town, Ray and I talked about some stuff going on at Carrabba’s, King’s Classic Bakery coming to Trade Street and Five Loaves Catering finally opening a retail store. Hear that HERE. Then,…

Whilst waiting on our room to be ready, we had haggis…

Salutations™!! I’m writing this at about 1145p on August 30. Five years ago right now, we were somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean on our way to Edinburgh, Scotland. We almost missed our flight because as we were laying over, the airline or airport switched not only the gate but the entire terminal in the Philadelphia…
Salutations™!! My interest in Anthony Bourdain came right after The BCPF and I met. She talked about liking his show, No Reservations, and how she really loved it and his bad-arsed qualities. It was an immediate reaction for me. Dang! This cat is cool and he loves food and travel. He dug into things that went beyond just…
Salutations™!! Here’s the phone conversation: The BCPF: “Hello.” Me: “So, baby… I love you!” The BCPF: “Um… I love you.” Me: “I fixed the shower (it had been leaking really badly (I was proud of myself – that’s another conversation)).” The BCPF: “Yay! Thank you.” Me: “And… I love you!” The BCPF (with trepidation): “I…
Salutations™!! This morning I received confirmation that I have been allowed my release from the travel agency I was working with/under. This is a load off my mind. I love the travel business. I really do. However, it takes a lot of time and patience that I just don’t have. I don’t think I failed at…
