Even *More* Tales from Tales
I know — enough already. I promise this'll be the end of it, unless I decide to write an essay on the magnificent fried chicken at Willie Mae's. When Down South: The Sippin' 5 Places to Drink Well in New Orleans — some of my favorite bars/drinks of the week and A Sampling of Bashes

Tales of Tales
I made it back from NOLA in one piece, and actually feeling pretty good. I had such a wonderful time, and got to spend quality time with some of my favorite people from all across the country, most notably @rockdoggydog, @allanvkatz & @m_quinn. I even got to spend quality time with people I don’t see

Bon Voyages!
In a few hours I'll be flying off to France to meet my Dad, stepmother, brother, sister and brother-in-law for a walking trip in the Dordogne. I've been in this region before and am looking forward to the gorgeous countryside, amazing wine, and foie gras galore (sorry, California, try not to be jealous). Will try

The Regal Beast

Thailand: The Photos
I was going to wait to post my Thailand photos until they were all neatly labeled and tagged. Then I realized this was not going to happen for several months, if ever. So, ladies and gents, here are all of my Thailand pictures, only moderately edited and barely tagged, for your enjoyment. The Buddha pictured

Thailand Photo Teaser
I've posted my photos, but haven't yet labeled anything and am still editing. I promise to share when I'm done. Some of my favorite pics (not surprisingly) are from the market in Chiang Mai. I swear I could have stayed there all day, snapping photos and tasting the wares.

R & R in Phang Nga Bay
We spent the last portion of our Thailand adventure on Naka Island, a five minute boat ride off of Phuket. After a flurry of activity in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, our primary goal switched to relaxation. This was fairly easy to accomplish, as we were staying in a lovely resort with our own villa and
