Stereotypes of cities abound. For many, there is the incorrect perception that New Yorkers are universally rude and unhelpful. But it just isn’t so. Don’t take my admittedly biased word for it. There are studies out there showing New Yorkers are extremely helpful. We are just rushed. We […]
I love the adventure of traveling around around the world. And while I like planning some parts of my trips, I don’t necessarily plan everything out. I like to see what I find on the ground. Obviously some things like traveling between countries while already on the […]
While in Hong Kong, I was reminded of one of my favorite shows ever. That being BattleStar Galactica (the new one). So well written, acted and just overall grand intensity. It was a show that I looked forward to watching each week. Although, I must admit, that […]

Despite severe jet lag and a deep desire to wake up at 2am yet still sleep, we went off on an early morning (and eventual day-long) adventure. The day was foggy giving Kong Kong an eerie sense of ghosts abounding through the landscape. It could very well […]
I had quite a dilemma this week. I’m what is known as an extroverted introvert. I can function, even be gregarious, in groups but I hate large events. I was at a conference where my hotel was packed with participants from three different simultaneously held conferences. That was […]
While I am not a complete fan yet of Los Angeles, I have come to appreciate (its not very hard to by the way) the nice weather. I have especially come to appreciate sun and 70 degree weather in the so-called winter time. However, make no mistake […]
