I’ve spent a whole day and night in this mysterious and misunderstood country. And I love it already! Colombia truly has gotten a bad rap, and over and over again, we got a chance by meeting friendly people and seeing wonderful sights to prove that it deserves a second look. […]
I am lying on a very hard bed at the Intercontinental Hotel in Medellin. We landed at about 9:30 pm and were met by Alejandra, a 20-something young woman with a lovely smile and a shapely figure. One of the first things that she told us was that this city […]
The hotel is in Medellin’s El Poblado residential area, the Intercontinental rests on a hillside, overlooking the valley. Paul Shoul and I should arrive there around 9 pm. Will keep you as posted as I can!
BOOM! BOOM! That’s how Robin Jaffin punctuated her letter to the Amherst MA board of selectmen when she complained about her neighbor the farmer. In order to keep away unwanted birds, he’s been shooting off a propane-powered gun that makes a boom boom noise in frequent intervals all day long. […]
I remember once telling a woman acquaintance who had just begun a fundraising job at a local college to pursue the richest woman in Massachusetts–Abigail Johnson. She’s the scion of the Johnsons who run Fidelity, the world’s largest mutual fund. But at 45, she’s already been passed over by dad […]
Once more, GoNOMAD reaches high and scores! We have been exhibiting at a major New York Tradeshow for four years, and every year we have gotten more out of it. While we’ve loved our January shows at the Adventure Expo, the time has come to move up. So I’m proud […]
I passed this fatal accident last night at about 6:30 pm on Rte 91. Apparently the driver and passenger, 19 and 43, crossed the median and hit head on a vehicle driving southbound. Traffic quickly backed up for miles in the southbound lane. I snapped these shots and quickly emailed […]
Last night I had trouble sleeping. I tossed and turned and eventually got up. That’s when I read about Roswell Rudd, American Trombonist and Renaissance man. A story in the WSJ profiled this prolific musical experimenter, who travels to Mali and the Caribbean in search of new beats. Rudd is […]
I sat outside on the deck tonight, it was humid and it really felt like summer. Sad to think that tomorrow is August and then…well, it’ll all be gone sooner than we think. I read the WSJ and a story popped out that compelled me to read further. It was […]
Brad Shepard and I were joshin’ on the email last week and sounding like corny cowboys, setting up my visit tomorrow on the Morning Show with Bo and Brad, on WHYN-AM. I have been an AM guy for many years now, if you ask me the best radio comes from […]
As Donnie and I drove south from the ranch, we passed a curious site on the side of the road in Fairfield, Montana. A series of pens held a gaggle of double-humped camels. A second pen held elk, and in the far corner, a solitary and huge bull camel. We […]
After a dinner of fine grass-fed steaks cooked on the grill, (about as good as steak can get, and I’ve had Kobe as well as Smith and Wolensky beef), we ventured out for a wildlife watch. These of course can be disappointing, but as we drove over the dirt road […]
