It's time to come clean.  New year, new day, nothing to hide, no looking back, right?  I am a travel junkie.  Oh my, that feels better already. My guess is you all knew this before I did.  You were kind, didn't want to say something that might set me off and damage our...

On my first European trip (which, admittedly, included months working on a farm) I took Great English Literature Vol Two as a reading companion. Not to be recommended. I should have stuck to PG Wodehouse. There certainly is literature which offers swifter time-passage than the more weightier tomes...

Some of you can go back with me, back to the days when a running OJ Simpson was not him running from the police, detectives, lawyers, or his own messed up life.  No, this was OJ running in the airport, hurdling over luggage to get to the gate.  He was our hero, this OJ, and he made running in...
