Just got back from my morning workout. 5.45 miles according to my pedometer thingy. Been gone for 3.5 weeks and so far have missed one day of working out. My strategy is to work out right when I get up no matter what. Since I have my runners, I never have an [...]

My seat on the flight from Seattle to Newark was right at the very back. The plane was full so I guess I was lucky to get on and not have to wait for the next one at 1pm. I powered through most of a new book I started reading - The Curious Incident of [...]

I arrived in Romania late Sunday afternoon and the weather was excellent. About 60 F - versus 40 C in Delhi. A bigtime relief. Ioan and his father picked me up and we immediately made the 4 hour car trip to his hometown of Bacau.

I have been a on/off cricket fan since my year in Oz/1994. Being in a Cricket loving country the past week makes it easier for me to follow a bit and catch up on who’s who and world standings.

The past few weeks I have been lucky to work with both Nick and Suchi in the flesh. It re-affirms by belief that nothing beats working with a person face to face.
Yes, the internet and all the things that it does for interaction are superb. From e-mail, chat, message boards, wikis, blogs…so many [...]

Those of you who read the BootBlog may remember my recent musings on how online friends become real-life friends. What some of you who read that article may not know is that I heard from several BootsnAll members after it was published who said, "Yeah, that's interesting and all, but we've been doing that for years now." And it's … [Read more]

Awhile back I posted here about getting into the Boston Globe Travel Show for free. Turns out that was for the trade conference during the day on Friday Feb 19th, not the travel show for regular consumers like you and me that runs from the evening of Friday, February 19 to …
