We dutifully forked over another thirty bucks to get the Wi-Fi at the booth, so now I can show you all the tent that we’re using here at the show. Our staff artist Dave Chouinard created some excellent signage, as he does for the cafe and the website, and his […]
We’re in the big Apple for the next three days, meeting friends, reader and advertisers who all know us through GoNOMAD. Last night Kent and I took a long, circituitous taxi ride down to the lower East Side to a bar called Lolita. Packed in like sardines, 20-somethings guzzled drinks, […]
I bought a used ipod Touch the other day, and it came on a messy looking taped up box. It has an engraving, that says ‘Verlyne megan miller’and ‘be humble’ beneath. After I charged it up, I opened some of the icons on the touchscreen and was given a window […]
A most excellent article just came out about my favorite little towne. I had a fun time with the writer from BusinessWest, Joe Bednar, with whom I spent part of an afternoon with a few weeks ago trumpeting how great Deerfield is. At one point I took him outside of […]
Nathan smiles for the camera, but sister Sofie is a little wary pictured in her party dress.
Last night we were amazed to see the change in the score. Suddenly, the Cardinals looked like they might squeak it out. We all watched as the Steel Curtain went down. Wow! I have good memories of my visit last June to this small city of just 400,000 with with […]

Despite our life of luxury and relaxation here in Puerto Morelos, we’re not that far from all of the bad news that keeps piling up in the US. We read the Miami Herald’s Cancun edition and except for the few pages that promote “The Amazing Whale Shark,” or “How Xcaret […]
Just 6,000 people live here in Puerto Morelos, and though there are plenty of American and Canadian tourists, it is full of Mexicans going to school, going out fishing and running bustling restaurants and cafes. We visited a bookstore with lots of used books in English, and met a woman […]
What comes out of your feet if you soak them in a bath with negative and positive ions? I am still not sure what it was, but tonight, under the instruction of Gloria Guerrero, I placed my feet in a bath and watched as it filled up ten minutes later […]
Imagine: a press trip with a whole day of absolutely nothing. Today’s such a day, the equivalent of a leisurely Sunday morning. We’ve covered the attractions, met some of the interesting people, filed a slew of blogs and photos and now…well it’s time to kick back. The day begins with […]
About two years ago, an amazing network of watery underground chambers were discovered beneath the vast Yucatan jungle. They were just a few of the thousands of cenotes, sinkholes formed over millions of years partly as a result of the catastrophic meteor hit that took place in the sea just […]
