Notes on Another Trip to DC
ByRileySome Sunday nights are pretty average. Like this one. Did some writing. Did some grocering. Watched some Adventure Time. Dined on potato soup. Attempted to exercise my booty to optimal. That king of thing. Some Sunday nights you hear Mavis Staples and Bonnie Raitt sing Will the Circle Be Unbroken, and you smile so hard…
A Town Called Dunfermline and a Journey Through the Fjords
ByRileyMagic, I find, happens where you least expect it. That’s the oldest magician’s trick, isn’t it? A little misdirection to divert the audience’s attention. “Look here! Look here!” the magician cries, because the sleight of hand is happening the other way, and where misdirection and craft meet – VOILA! – magic. Travel can be like…
An Athens PS
ByRileyHere’s a little something of absolutely no importance. I do this to people all the time. I finally got got by it. This is the result.
Kos – The Little Island with the Big Mosaic
ByRileyKos lies not too far off the the western coast of Turkey. This isn’t a geography lesson. I may be the last person on Earth from whom anyone would want to take a geography lesson. I’m only telling you this because I took a ferry there from Bodrum once. Well… last month, actually. We spent the entire…
Athens, Istanbul & Notes on Hydration
ByRileyWhat happened was this. We had Bonnie Raitt tickets for San Diego and planned to spend a few days soaking up good tunes and Vitamin D, while partaking of the perfecto teas at The Tea Pavilion in Balboa Park. Then, Turkish Airlines went crazy let’s-break-into-the-U.S.-market fire sale, offered ridiculous roundtrip prices, and I was given…

I almost choked when I read Allentown – as I live about 45 minutes away in the Scranton area. Upside, it’s an easy trip to new york – buses and trains are uber cheap if you don’t want to drive. Downside, farms. And things close early. But I hope you enjoy Pennsylvania!
Cool. We looked in Scranton. We are definitely looking forward to the short drive/travel into New York and Philly being less than an hour away. Thanks for the welcome.
I’m sorry people suck, but welcome back to the East Coast.
Are you seriously moving to Allentown? I live in Allentown. No fuckin way. Too weird. Well we can have a mini VS convention..lmao
I cracked up when I read Allentown. I swear it’s a west coast move east coast thing. Two years ago when I was moving from Portland, OR I moved to Bethlehem (just east of Allentown) because it was the most affordable place I could find.
I then moved out here to Chicago.
Not anything against the area… just, I missed being in a city.
My suggestion for going to the city would be either to bus it (about $20 and two hours) or to drive to Harrison, NJ and take the PATH in. Gross, but well… it is Harrison. 🙂
Good luck in A-town. It is less smoggy, at least.
