So why do you love autumn so much? There's something about that crisp, fall breeze that fills me with hope. It just makes me want to pursue my goals. You do realize that things are dying in the fall? To prepare for winter? Yeah, I know. It just seems weird to put an entire season …

Leaving Las Vegas. (Blogtober #11)
I'm leaving on a jet plane... Typically, when vacations end and I'm on a plane about to head back home, I nurse that melancholy, vacay-is-over-back-to-work-help-me feeling. Reason #1,097,012 why I need to quit my job, gain some kind of independent wealth, and just travel the world and write. Anyway, I've decided, as I wait for …
Autumn in Vegas: Chill. (Blogtober #10)
On this, our final full day in Las Vegas, we visited the home of my bestie's niece and enjoyed a hearty dinner with her family. I am full, content, and slightly melancholy at my vacation ending tomorrow. But the end of a vacation means another should come soon, right? Plus, I made a new friend. …
Autumn in Vegas: All of the Lights (And those Fountains) (Blogtober #9)
We made it to the Vegas strip this evening. We saw the amazing lights and the enormous hotels bearing the names of Trump and Caesar. We saw all kinds of sights, saw all kinds of interesting people, and tried very hard to avoid the Chewbacca impersonator who was slinking his way toward us. What clinched …

I've been longing to see it since I can remember, since I knew it existed. Today, I gazed at its colorful caves, its seemingly endless, sprawling length, the winding Colorado River at its bottom, its majestic hills, its jutting crags, at the horizon peaking above it. Pictures don't do it justice, no, but they speak …

Breathtaking views. An architectural marvel. The Hoover Dam.
Autumn in Vegas. (Blogtober #6)
Viva Las Vegas. I'm in the city for a much-needed week's vacation with friends and I'm really enjoying it so far. No, there is no crisp autumn air to be found, but there are amazing mountains and sights, the Flamingo on the the Vegas strip, and so much more. Here are a few photos. More …
have you ever…(Blogtober #5)
...loved the beautiful cinematography in a film, where scenes of autumn seemed almost edible, and you had such high hopes for it based solely on the title, and in the end, thought it was one of the worst movies you'd ever seen? Oh, Autumn in New York. How bad you were. (If you loved it...um, …
The Paris in Springtime Bias. (Blogtober #4)
Admittedly, I have this bias. Perhaps you have this bias. When I think about Paris--which you're learning is pretty often--I almost always imagine it covered with spring. Trees bearing light pink blossoms that gently blow in the breeze. Couples walking hand in hand along the River Seine, the light air adding a delicate touch to …
