The Saga of the Five Euro Nescafé
Dear Iberia Airlines: That was a neat little trick you pulled off on my recent flight. I mean pull around the coffee, tea, and juice service cart and ask politely if I want an ice cold Coca-Cola or perhaps a zumo de manzana so fresh I’d feel like I picked it myself and ran it […]
Clowning Around
Okay, so where am I? Well, I am sitting at my office marveling at the ESPN news alert that just came through my phone: “NHL: Vegas Golden Knights’ trademark request denied due to ‘likelihood of confusion’ with logo for College of Saint Rose.” Seriously? I mean boys, I wrote you back in June suggesting that […]
Do You Want to Make a TV Show?
Okay, so where am I? Last week, I decided to take a few days off and fly up to Portland, an attractive city where the people are friendly and the food is amazing. It’s a short flight. My friend has a place there so I figured, why not? When the cab dropped me off at […]

The Golden Age of Flying
My recent talk with Daniela the Flight Girl spurred my nostalgia about what flying was like back in the day. I remember those Mad Men episode with Don Draper was winging it to the coast with Roger Sterling with the suit coats still buttoned and stewardess with gloves on taking drink orders. Today is a little […]
Castle Shopping with Daniela the Flight Girl
Okay, so where am I? There’s no truth that I am in Romania looking at the Bran Castle looking at a way to make Dracula’s home a summer retreat if I am ever allowed back into the former Communist state. In 1897, Bram Stoker’s described a dream vacation house—a historic castle that offers 360-degree views […]
Summer Travel: airberlin to Germany

Ms. Emmy: YOU KNOW HOW TO PARTY!
Oh my lovely giant Emmy statuette. I flirted with you all night and after all that you went home with a hundred or so other writers, producers, actors, and actresses. And this morning, there you are. Face down after a wild night of partying and rubbing elbows with the television elite. Most of us would […]
