It’s been a long few days, without a blog post.  I’ll tell you all about it in a photo gallery. How I Spent My Days A Wanderin’ – Geneva Edition (please excuse any holes… although it is a Swiss edition!)

First thing first — Happy Mother’s Day. My mom is the best. Okay, now time for just a quick recap of the Geneva Marathon. At times it was super windy, the kind of headwind that makes one feel like despite running forward there is ZERO progress being made and one is little more than a […]

You don’t understand the humiliation of it… to be tricked out of the single assumption that makes our existence bearable. That somebody is watching. We are actors, we are the opposite of people. […] We need an audience! -Player, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead Friends, runners, Geneveans.  I come not to bury Son of a […]

What a long and sleepless night that was. Fifteen and a half hours from Prague to Geneva. There wasn’t any murder or international intrigue… unless you count an occasionally screaming baby and the unmistakable aroma of cigarette smoke oozing out of every pore and fiber of several passengers. This is a quick recap of the […]

I opted NOT to take a city tour this trip. It wasn’t the money — the pros were something like $35 and the “AirBNB experience” was something like $22… though I don’t know if either one of those included various admissions.

I was snippy.  When scanning my boarding pass as part of Main Cabin 1 to get on the plane, I got pulled aside to have my passport checked.  Apparently scanning it online when I checked in yesterday and this morning at the airport wasn’t sufficient… or the various databases aren’t synced or something.  But I […]

On May 1st, 2019, I deleted the apps for Facebook and Facebook Messenger from my phone.  I had decided it was time to take an extended break from social media.  I didn’t like what it was doing to me and I hadn’t for a long time.  So while I had logged out previously, even temporarily […]

The good folks who run the Runs with Scissors race posted some of their photos… which I promptly scrolled through and cut and pasted the ones with me below.
