This Other Blog That Sometimes Lets Me Write for Them
Heading over to the gym for some more pain, but I wanted to shout from the interweb rooftops about a new blog that I’m contributing to. It’s part of Project: Time Off, an initiative to encourage people to take time off from work, which seems like such a no-brainer to someone who not only took…

Finally, Cambodia
It is safe to say that Cambodia has not yet recovered from the horrors of Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge regime of the late 1970s.

Maybe I Should Warm Up Before Jumping Back Into This Blogging Business
Seeing as how I hurt myself at the gym yesterday, I am super pumped that today is Friday.

A Plea to Old People at the Gym
Due to a variety of reasons (upcoming beach vacation, an uptick in free time, wishing to not be winded just by watering the garden, giving up on folding laundry because my arms got tired), my training-partner-for-eternity, XFE and I have been working on our fitness. Like, really working on it. Like, ordering overpriced paleo food…

Places I Never Thought I’d Go (or, be let into): Walt Disney World
I have tried several times now to sit down and write about our March trip to Cambodia, but I struggle with it each time. Basically, Cambodia broke my heart. It’s not just the fact that its people are desperately poor. I’ve been to plenty of economically disadvantaged places. My personal-travel-arranger-for-life XFE pointed out that many…

Checking in with an Ang Moh
I had a big jump in my blog stats yesterday, which was quite surprising considering how much I’ve been slacking on the blogging. Turns out, starting your own business is really time consuming! I’ve been pretty dang busy lining up new clients, keeping existing ones happy, invoicing, paying taxes, etc., etc. I also have a major…

Cambodian Tuk Tuks
We had a ritual when we were in Siem Reap. Well, it’s sort of a ritual we have whenever we travel, really. It goes like this: Run around like crazy people most of the day, soaking in all the history and culture and sights we can lay our eyes on, make comments on all the assorted smells…

Flying Fancy: Review of Singapore Airlines Suites
I think I’m generally pretty spoiled. And I’ve had some pretty spectacular flying experiences. But our trip in the Singapore Airlines Suites was so over-the-top, it almost made this girl (formerly from the trailer parks of West Texas) downright uncomfortable. First of all…let me just stop you right there. I’m sure you know, or suspect,…

Six Most Memorable (for Better and Worse) Things We Ingested in Hong Kong
I’d love to tell you that on our three-day stop in Hong Kong, we hit all the major tourist attractions and checked them off one-by-one. Alas, that would be a lie. We did not go to Victoria’s Peak, or Lantau Island. We did not gaze in wonder at the mid-level escalators, or pose for photos…

Eight Incredible Things We Ate in Singapore and Cambodia (and New York)
The last two weeks have involved super fun, almost vacation-like visits to a new dentist for my third round of scaling and root planing procedures. If you don’t know what this is, you are extremely fortunate. I’ve actually had it done twice before, but my new dentist (and my x-rays) suggested that I had not…
