Started out my web surfing today reading a link on Budget travel on line, where Kent and Sony’s blogs were mentioned and linked. Then I began reading Kelly Amibile’s and Erik Olsen’s entries on Gadling, and finally ended up reading a comment by “Easily Pleased,” who runs a fun food-based […]
We worked hard today at the Javits and now are enjoying some wine in our 24th floor room of the Marriot Marquis NY. We are returning to our old favorite restaurant, Osteria Gelsi, on Ninth Avenue, with Sony, Paul, Kent, Lisa, Cindy, Joe, Cathie, all celebrating the GoNOMAD brand as […]
In 1967, when the population reached 200 million, Life magazine dispatched 23 photographers to locate the baby and devoted a five-page spread to its search.

Today my daughter Kate is handling the interviews for servers at the new GoNOMAD Cafe. We lined up about five candidates, and so far one sounds like a keeper, and the second one who didn’t show up, she’s not. “Late to the interview, late to the job,” said Kate. I […]
Tonight I drove around and around in the New York City traffic, listening to a new FM radio station. One of the hosts was called “Radio Chick” and she lead a spirited discussion on a new topic–Dinner Whores. These are the women who go out to dinner with men again […]

One final push and a list to check off. We’re off tomorrow morning to New York City for the Adventure Expo travel show. This show is a biggie: 30,000 people came through last year, and we had a booth that was visited by what seemed like all of them. Like […]

On the Smokinggun.com website today, I heard about this. Another writer unravelled. “In an October 26 show entitled “The Man Who Kept Oprah Awake At Night,” Winfrey hailed author James Frey’s graphic and coarse book “A Million Little Pieces” as “like nothing you’ve ever read before.

I worked for the Daily Hampshire Gazette from 1986 through 1995, and one of the suggestions I often used to make was that we sell the unsold space for a discount after deadline. Don Nunes, the ad director, called them “remnant ads,” where house ads would usually run. We did […]
I woke up this morning after one of those dreams you keep thinking about. It was about my prep school reunion, and the sadness of saying good bye to all of those old chums. But then I cracked open the laptop and eventually landed on Google Video. What a treat! […]
