DECIDING WHAT TO SEE

My kids are very much into museums, mostly because they love Indiana Jones. I [...]

I would like to say that I am relatively adventurous: I eat street food, I use public transportation, I exercise in dress clothes, but there are some things to which I don’t routinely subject myself.
One thing on that list would be “large animals”. I don’t know jack squat about riding a horse, but when I [...]

After BlogHer, I took a day to Rest and Recharge in San Diego, at Residence Inn in the Gas Lamp Quarter.

I really didn’t have any experience with Residence Inn; I just thought it was a name.
I didn’t realize that by “Residence”, they mean “you can actually live here”. But you totally could!
Why Residence Inn is [...]

Every Labor Day weekend, downtown Atlanta morphs into a fantasy universe know as Dragon*Con.
Dragon*Con is tricky to explain to those who haven’t heard of it, but Atlanta’s annual science fiction convention is having its 25th anniversary this year.
Deeds and I were given an adult pass, and I learned that children under 7 don’t need a [...]

Our day started off with complimentary juice and iced tea, delivered to our door with a gentle knock, as requested. You get those kind of perks for free when you are a Gold Level Member of the [...]

I will confess, I’m not a big fan of typical “travel sized” games.
They usually have tiny pieces that get lost. Plus plastic junk is ugly.
So that is why I am very impressed with Tegu’s Pocket Pouch; 8 pieces of magnetically connecting wooden blocks in a lovely felt case.
These Tegu Blocks can construct all kinds of [...]
