Comfort Zone
"Google, define comfort zone." "Comfort zone. The place in which one functions with ease and familiarity." Well then, by formal definition, my comfort zone measures at an approximate fifty-mile radius, ninety percent of which consists of farmland and sagebrush. It is endless stretches of fields, country backroads, and Grandpa cussin’ the referees between grumbles of “you call that holding, ref?” and “someone get this man some binoculars!”

A Toilet, a Mexican Restaurant and Swingers
Cancun, Mexico—the hub of collegiate spring breakers partying until the break of dawn. It’s also a place where the average family, equipped with their 2.5 children, goes to indulge in the all-inclusive luxuries of the great resorts located in the hotel zone or just outside of the city center.

July 13/14, 2017 – Greyhound Bus 6933
Suitcases, backpacks, hiking boots, and bodies line the glass and concrete terminal. Metal benches produced in some no-name factory in an arbitrary city by sad little people who once believed in upward mobility are held in place by other equally sad men and women who still cling to the hope of making it big. A life-sized Barbie on the TV overhead decries this political atrocity and that and brings news of yet another murder in our precious hidden gem of a flyover city.

Griswald Family Vacations - Take 1 and 2
Take 1 Wally World... here we come... Look kids! Big Ben! Parliament! We are so the Griswalds..... So, I'll start with the good news. We were grateful to have made it from Southern California to Utah before sunrise. We left a little late, as often happens with the hustle and bustle of leaving the house with a family. Our 7 hour drive often stretches to 8 with traffic and sometimes even 9 with the frequent potty and refueling stops. So, we were quite happy to make good time and get there with some sleep inducing darkness left to help us harness the zzzz's.

Quest of the Phoenix 2017 (8)
I woke up at 4:45 AM and couldn’t fall back asleep again, thanks to the combination of cacophonously singing birds and the gastric havoc wrought by yesterday’s gluttony. At least this would help me get an early start since I had a helluva drive today.

Walt Disney World Orlando
As someone who has visited Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida four times now, I consider myself somewhat of an expert, as do other people. I find myself constantly giving advice, directions and have even been mistaken as a cast member a few times.
