Hi all,I am being presumptuous in assuming this post will actually post given this blog has been dormant / hibernating for several years. But what the heck, let’s presume! Will be a good step in my quest to become a half glass full person. Just landed in Rabat – the first stop on our 10…
Lanes Are a Suggestion
Last full day in Morocco. All the cities we’ve been fortunate enough to visit (Rabat, Casablanca, Fes and now Marrakech) have their differences but one thing they have in common is lots of traffic circles and lots of different types of transport going lots of different directions lots of the time. It’s lots! Today the…
“Don’t Forget to Not Look”
That was the sage advice given to my Gate 1 Tour companions by our guide, Aziz, as we prepared to cross a street. Cars whizzed by with nary a care / potentially gunning for us tourists trying to get from one side to the other. Tourists! As a New Yorker, I know the feeling but…
What comes around apparently does go around
Say hello to my new WIDE 8 and1/2 sneaker (I am a 7 and 1/2 normally) working hard to accommodate my increasingly angry and puffed up right little piggy. To help with fit I borrowed one of my mom’s sad threadbare socks. Now I see a mom sock buying errand in my future. I will…
I’m sorry – First Amendment

I’ve seen my future
It includes swimming pool yoga to Uptown Funk, happy hour 2 for 1 pina coladas and bathing suits with long skirts that could be repurposed for use in skating competitions.
NY Staycation over – Aruba hat selection begins
My awesome Australian hat did not make it back to The States alive (it’s harder then you think!) so I am wading through some random hats I’ve purchased over the years and never got around to throwing out. Can someone explain 1) why this hat has not one but TWO zippered pockets 2) why I…
Taylor Swift was not here to welcome me back!
But I don’t care. Something much better to put me in a New York State of Mind. What? My apartment will still be there and roach infested 20 mins later and the Newark Airtrain / NJ transit combo drops you at Penn anyway and it was only like one extra down escalator away….don’t judge me…
Boarding earworm…”Back to life, Back to reality.”
What would the trip be without one more WordPress/blog technical difficulty? Literally stepping on plane for 25 hrs of travel ahead and just did some mild troubleshooting. Let’s see if this last very not important / housekeeping-ish post makes the blog before we take off. Giving it 30/70 odds. This is an update to the…
