We walked up on this cow eating a potted plant that it has knocked over. What you cannot see in this photo is that there are two of them, both nearly eaten. A lady came out of the store a mo ...

Josh likes to take silly photos and this one was staged by him to show off the hotel room in Jaipur. I think he was amused by the mural on the wall, which actually was quite nice and well do ...

This is another typical street scene in Jaipur. People selling fruits and vegetables along the side of the road. It was an orgy of color and hard to resist eating!

A Special Mirror

I was out this weekend, doing something I haven’t done in while, but used to do a heck of a lot – nightlife in NYC. Yeah, as I hone into 39, some of this is just normal changes in taste, I suppose. It feels good to be in bed at midnight! If you recall, your [...]

Kushner’s “The Guide”

For those who do not know me, I will start with a little background. I am not generally a theater person. I tend to like serious plays when I do go. To actively go, something has to catch my attention. I do know who Kushner, Mamet and Stoppard are. However, I deem knowing who these [...]

New York City Through the Fog

Metaphors for my life abound and some are found right on the roof.

Notice the missing cityscape? Yes, it is gone in the fog.

Ducati Goodbye : An Italian Lemon

I bought my first Ducati over 10 year ago, a Monster 900S. A fun bike that I rode my first miles on, my frist DESMO tour, and my first crash.

Most of you probably dont know who I am, but depending upon who you ask, I was one of the first few guys to help [...]

Without Struggle, There is No Progress

6660|100Thank you Frederick Douglass for reminding me of this from the grave, as tiled into the side of a work center near the Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC. I walked past this building about a week ago and have been rolling around this phrase in my head since.

Then this morning I listened to [...]

Space & Radio Lab & Science

Occasionally, I have been able to listen to Radio Lab on WNYC. Every time I do so, I am astonished. Not in a glib bored postmodernist way, but in the way where I find myself sitting on the couch listening, doing nothing but listening and imagining what they are describing. To give you an idea [...]

Our deepest fears are like dragons guarding our deepest treasure – Rainier Maria Rilke

It seems strange to write a page like this on my blog as this whole entire thing is about my travels both physical and existential through life. I suppose I can try to give a brief overview of who [...]

Oh to have your observations validated!

Again The Week pulls through! Quoting an article in the China Daily

“Some improvement has been seen among Chinese tourists traveling abroad, with less spitting and littering,” said Li Xi, a Chinese travel guide in Paris. “But what annoys the locals most is that Chinese tourists always speak loudly and make noises in public.”

Now, [...]

UPDATE: Do we need election monitors?

Take a listen to today’s The Brian Lehrer Show (podcast):

Back to the Future, Mark Crispin Miller, professor of media studies at New York University and author, Fooled Again (Basic Books 2005) accuses George Bush of electoral fraud in Ohio

And if that is not enough, check out his blog.

Not bothered yet? How about [...]

A Return to Prague

The trip was originally going to be Anthony, Roy, Dan and me, but circumstances dictated that only Dan and I would be able to go. The day of departure came and we had arranged to meet at 11 Madison Park for lunch, hop in the car to JFK, and be off for a great weekend [...]
