I don’t normally like big cities, but New York is different. There is something happening on every block and always something to do for everyone. I think it would be impossible to get bored in New York City. Jersey City,…
Bad Luck Gators
I almost went to a New York Giants game… They were playing the current champs, the New England Patriots so the game would have been a good one. I couldn’t get there though because my 10 year old second cousin…
Where Did New York Come From?

I almost didn’t make it in to Canada. I got pulled aside at the airport and asked to go through a different line than everyone else into a room with one border security guy. He grilled me about why I…
Shopping in Chicago
It’s funny walking around a place that is all name brands. Fashion isn’t high on my list of hobbies, but I do need to get a new jacket – so I braved the Magnificent Mile for a morning to see…
