My exit from California was as dramatic as could be, naturally. The end of my time in the Golden State marked the start of my Eurotrip with my Mom and all my bags were packed when it occurred to me that I had forgotten to download some Office episodes for my consumption in the air. […]
It’s a strange experience coming home. Because as anyone who has ever left will tell you it’s never the same. Flying into Los Angeles I found my stomach tied together with endless ribbons of nerves tangled with excitement. Why is it that stepping onto familiar soil made my heart skip a beat?

It has been a while, I have to admit before I have done a proper tip of the hat, wag of the finger edition. I am a couple trips behind now so I figured now is a perfect time as any. For those of you who don’t know I’m stealing this idea from Stephen Colbert and […]
