I Want To Believe
I used to think the only way to travel was for months at a time. Then I took on a serious job at a small college which limited my ability to buy one way tickets to random places. This last week I experimented with a "normal" vacation. You know, the ones that only go one... Continue Reading →
The Other Honolulu
The styrofoam cup of Tequila next to me continues to devour the ice cubes I feed it. I purchased the bottle from a smiling hawaiian shirt clad lady in the lobby, which left me feeling like she is pretty successful at what she does, which isn't hard, selling booze to tired travelers who just got...

Bigfoot Island
This wasn't the first time I'd gone in search of that indomitable creature that stalks these misty hills, creeping through rain-soaked and moss-drenched nurse logs.
