My experience in Tijuana will be ending on Wednesday. I am leaving town, going to Oaxaca de Juarez, in the state of Oaxaca. That’s pronounced “wah-hahk-ah” I think. It’s sort of a hippie town probably filled with people “finding themselves” and getting cultured with Indigenous peoples. I’m excited to be going there. I hear the…

I looked at my phone today around 10:30 am. Free breakfast at the hostel ended at 11:00, so I walked down five flights of stairs to the lobby. In the breakfast area, three old Mexicans were sitting at a table drinking coffee and conversing. I saw the coffee pot and some mugs and jars of…

I’ve never been “guy who is getting some work done on the laptop while at the airport” but I am at Midway in Chicago doing exactly that. Im in a cafeteria that I came across while walking to my mysterious Gate A4A, which feels like a ten minute walk from the rest of the airport…

While driving home from work today, the highway had long stretches of snowy, unplowed road followed by perfectly clear road. Maybe the plow drivers lifted their plows while working and missed some spots. It was really windy and there were some whiteout conditions at times, but thinking that the roads were covered in snow in…

Buffalo is a dramatic place. That seems wrong. It confuses me. We are a regular Rust Belt city with mostly simple folk doing mostly simple jobs. We are not in Hollywood. And yet, the warm moist air mixes with the ice cold air in some combination to dump biblical snow on us, and it always…

I sold an exercise bike to a woman online for $20. She came and picked it up from my apartment today after I got home from work. It was really cold and windy when I went out to load the bike into her car. The bike was really heavy and the two five dollar bills…

The Bills fired their head coach today. I look forward to a new feel around the team next year. They have been very intense while Sean McDermott has been in charge and I hope that with a new coach comes a new style, one that is more fun and loose and not brooding and intense…
