New York part 2: Central Park and The Met
While taking a bite out of the Big Apple, several bucket list items were checked off: Times Square, eating NY-style pizza in NY, The Top of The Rock, Central Park, and The Met.

Elk Neck State Park in Maryland; the Giant Peach in South Carolina
I took a day trip to Elk Neck State Park in Maryland to meet some fellow campers. It’s on a long peninsula, across Chesapeake Bay from Havre De Grace. At the end of the peninsula is the historic Turkey Point Light, built in 1833. A giant peach, known as the Peachoid, sits on the west side of highway 85 at FATZ Cafe in Gaffney, South Carolina
But, wait! There's more...Ain’t never been there, they tell me it’s nice.
Life’s been good to me so far. (Click to play the song.)
Like a good snowbird, tomorrow I’m heading to Florida for the winter. Pennsylvania’s turned cold (but I think that started a few months ago).
I’ve been ready to leave for a new place for a while. I’m really looking forward to meeting up with about a dozen friends and framily (friends who are like family), several who live there, and several as they come through the panhandle. With one exception, these are all folks I’ve met on my travels. You’ve got to love that!
But I’m nervous about this trip, more so than usual, and I don’t know why. It will take me about four or five days to get there, maybe six.
But, wait! There's more...Nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs, and Cibolo in Boerne
Hi, remember me? I’m that gal who used to blog here. Yeah, yeah, so I’m flaky when feeling overwhelmed. But I make up for it with my vivacious personality. Heh. Another leap of faith was in my near future, and this time I was afraid to jump. Yes, I gave up … But, wait! There’s more…
Trip to the Suburban Ecosystem: A Vision of Sameness
Looking out the small window of the 737 as it flew into San Jose Airport I saw one thing: Sameness.
Miles and miles of sameness. It was as if someone took a house-shaped cookie cutter and laid out millions of identical little houses on cookie sheets made of grass, bordered by roads of concrete and asphalt. Hundreds of thousands of cars zoomed in between the green blocks of sameness.
But, wait! There's more...I just got felt up by TSA
I’m at the Sioux Falls airport checking in for my return flight to Austin (via snowy Denver). At the security check point I put all my stuff on the conveyer belt and turn around to go through the metal detector. But there is no metal detector. In its place is … But, wait! There’s more…
I told my therapist about you. Because the zombie apocalypse is coming and you need a shirt.
I told my therapist about you. t-shirts By now you’re all aware of The Great RV Roll-about. Maybe more so than you’d like. Hey, it could be worse – this could be another post about my cat. For those of you living vicariously through my experiences, I thought you’d … But, wait! There’s more…
Cement boats, giant artichokes, old jails, and two-story outhouses.
Really, what more could one ask for? Monterey County is one of my favorite places in California. Santa Barbara being the other. But when it comes to the coastal views, Monterey County wins hands down. Big Sur, Carmel, and Monterey have some of the most beautiful coastline in the country. … But, wait! There’s more…
Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves. Allegedly.
This post is a mish-mash of the highlights from the beginning of my new year, much of which seems like an episode of the Twilight Zone. I’m not able to post as frequently as I’d like since I’m on the road in remote locations. My internet is spotty and electrical … But, wait! There’s more…
There’s a pyramid in Arizona. I don’t think the Egyptians built it, but what do I know.
Crazy dinosaur marketing schemes, lighthouses, giant golf ball houses, wayward donkeys, naked bookstore owners, and now this. A pyramid. Arizona is probably the coolest state when it comes to unique and odd attractions. I used to think I’d have to go to Egypt or Mexico to see a pyramid, but … But, wait! There’s more…
