Procrastinating on my New Year’s Resolutions
Hey, have you heard? It’s a new year or something. And we’re all supposed to make big resolutions or goals or intentions or whatever. I’ll admit it: I do get caught up in that whole resolutions business. It’s just the excitement of closing a chapter on something old and getting a fresh new start on…

Poe’s Packing Panic: Safari Edition
We leave in a few days for Africa. So, you know what that means. Packing panic. It’s a thing. And for me, it’s a repeat thing. It’s not like this is my first African safari. Or even my second. No, this is the third time we are going on safari. You could say, we really,…

Where to Safari? Tanzania or South Africa
It’s the question that everyone asks when they hear about our recent African safari. No, not what I packed for essentially three weeks of travel (although, that would be my first question and the answer is: not that much). It’s not even whether we ever got bored of seeing many of the same animals day…

RIP: Unknown Search Terms
What a week, huh? Kray up here in tha DC, y’all, what with the government shutdown and all the crazy effects of that — veterans storming World War II memorials, DC metro saying it will run fewer train cars, and, worst of all, no panda cam at the National Zoo. Then there was that whole…
