    What Changes When We Get Older? 

    After turning 46 year old last year, I was talking with my wife about how I feel differently compared with when I was 39 years old. I tried to recall how I thought when I graduated at 22, when I was working hard at 29, when my daughter was borned at 31, I was divorced…

  • Travel By Train Or Plane

    After reading http://seat61.com/ and watching the movie  Before Sunrise, I had a very romantic notion of traveling by train.  My first trip on the Eurorail from Paris to Copenhagen took me 15 hours and  tor·tur·ous moments where I’m telling myself to get some sleep or I’ll be hallucinating in the bike train. Hmm, I still…

  • Parisians are just like Americans

    Well I could safely say that I understand Parisian life a little bit more after running through to 140 metro stations, getting a hair cut, buying food at the local markets, going to shop at their farmer’s open air markets, biking around town on my bike for 30 days. Here is the recap and sorry…

  • Small Business Owners

    I’ve always loved small businesses owners.  They risk their time, their life savings to open a business that they are often passionate about.  The reward is usually not forthcoming immediately but they have confidence in themselves to plow forward and eventually a small percentage of them succeed and flourish. Support your local small businesses (if…

    Kate: having fun traveling

    It was not an easy trip for her.  Jet lag, grumpy parents, long walks during metro transfer, parents who want to walk thru Amsterdam without a stroller..  but I think she had a blast eating her way thru both Paris and Amsterdam.

    Guys and gals, for a sinful week of fun and food, you must come to Amsterdam. This city is lively, everyone speaks English, it’s a very relaxed and opened environment (open prostitution, open gay marriages, legalized drugs).
