We all have quirks and rituals. I grew up loving baseball and that is a sport filled with very superstitious players. They have all sorts of rituals to “help” them win as well as avoid injuries. For instance, outfielder Alou urinates on his hands throughout the season in […]
I am back in my beloved city. I couldn’t be happier. As a matter of fact, I am quite thrilled. I love walking down active, full of life streets. I love seeing the city at night. I have often said that New York is best experienced at night. […]
For some reason, I catch early flights. Well, I purposefully chose early flights. The airports are less crowded. Although, airports are seemingly busier and busier even at 4am. I’m always shocked when I see people checking in to their flights before 5am. For some reason I always think […]

First off, I didn’t technically miss my flight. I don’t believe I have ever missed a flight. And, I used to travel a lot for work. Often, I used to be on the road twice a month. And now, I have a lot of miles and perks. But […]
