That Time We Visited Naples

I wonder if my husband would ever agree to go back. — It’s a good thing my husband doesn’t know any Italian because that way he had no idea what the guy holding a massive fish tank was yelling at him. I don’t know any Italian either, but I was pretty sure the angry guy holding an unwieldy fish tank was pissed…

Stockholm Runestone

The perfect place to start a Viking journey — We started our trip in Stockholm on a street corner where we puzzled over the mystery of how a metal barrier post thing, which, to our eyes, looked every bit like the front end of a sawed-off cannon, got so knocked off kilter in an area of town where supposedly…

Bill Clinton Slept Here

A trip to Arkansas It’s almost impossible to reminisce about a trip to Arkansas without mentioning Bill Clinton somewhere along the way. Hot Springs, Arkansas, takes pride in the fact that Bill Clinton grew up there and no trip feels complete unless you feel like you were sufficiently reminded of…

Turning 40

A birthday I didn’t want to be home for — Having a birthday so close to Christmas means that I never go anywhere to celebrate it. I hate crowds and spending money, and traveling over the Christmas holiday is the deadly combination of both. I have never been anywhere other than where I live on the day of my birthday…

Crater of Diamonds

Where you can try your luck at the outdoor gambling hall — When I told Ryan that I wanted to go to Arkansas and dig for diamonds after reading an article about some kid that recently scooped up a sizable diamond at The Crater of Diamonds State Park, I remember his response being something along the lines of, “You want to go…

I Admit, I’m Not An Adventurous Eater

I’ll look, but I won’t taste. I don’t remember where exactly we bought the box of chocolates for Ryan’s little half-sister that had her favorite K-pop band “Big Bang” emblazoned on the cover, but I am pretty sure that we didn’t buy it from any store inside the Gwangjang Market…

The Day I Would Eventually Regret

The time I took my mom out walking — There were a few occasions when there was something on tour at The Art Institute of Chicago that was too good to miss which made driving to Chicago from Milwaukee worth it. I recall one exhibit in particular that saved both my mom and me a trip to Scotland when…

A Milwaukee Story

…that of course includes a trip to Chicago. — I actually never really minded having to go back to Milwaukee as often as I did, as there was a certain something about that city which has always intrigued me. Milwaukee is a city that no one seems to watch, and it never surprised me why a person like Jeffrey…

Musings

Thinking about trees. Life and death ebbs and flows. Nature, man — we are the same. We intertwine. We go way back together. We both have stakes in this planet, this big blue floating ball. How is it that we both ended up here?
