humanity

If nothing else, travel opens your eyes to the colorful quilt that is humankind.

Kebab Meat, Chips and Salad
Check out was at 11am in Costa Teguise, but our flight wasn't until 9:10pm in Arrecife, our accounts were near empty, our bags were heavy and our bodies were tired. We contemplated sitting on the beach near the hotel until it was time to leave, but that would mean getting on a flight and then travelling through London at 1am, cold and covered in sand: hard pass.

Shen Yun
In 2017 for a Christmas present I had gone to see this wonderful production of magic and mysticism. It was a joy to see ancient China come along bringing with it 100’s of years of ancient history.

Jerry Orbach, rest in peace. New York pride.
Jerry Orbach was a true New Yorker. Jerry is one of my favorite actors and my favorite police officer. May Jerry Orbach rest in peace. He was a landmark of New York life until his passing, and whoever declared that made an excellent decision. I heard that when this great man and actor passed away, he had donated his eyes. Some of my favorite acting roles of Jerry Orbach are Lennie Briscoe from Law & Order, Lumière from the classic Disney film Beauty and the and Jerry even had an episode in the classic 1980s horror series “Tales from the Darkside.” In the movie “Dirty Dancing,” Jerry Orbach’s role as Baby’s father is my absolute favorite of all his roles.

The Cheaper Hotel Room Has Two Beds. That Is Your First Clue.
Two beds cost less than one: the pricing ledger of a 58-room hotel Open a booking app. Same hotel. Twin room listed at 438. King room at 518. You pick 438. At check-in, the front desk gives you a key card. The room is on the second floor. The window faces a parking lot. You stand there for a moment, then call the front desk: Can I change rooms? The front desk checks and says there is a south-facing king room on the fifth floor, unsold tonight. You can switch, no extra charge.

All Aboard the Empire Builder
My favorite place has no address. It greets you at the base of the escalator at 11:53 on a Saturday evening and can only be experienced in the liminal landscapes that stretch between its stations - first the city lights that bleed into farmland before hardening into wilder plains, and finally, the climb.

24 Hours Left
Mario had only 24 hours left to live. That's what he knew and that would be the way it was. Why is not important; what's important is that he had to spend his last 24 hours in as special a way as possible. He hadn't been a great guy during his life, and he wondered if he'd be able to make up for it even in the few hours he had left.

And Then Silence
Please sit back in relative comfort on the sofa, your hand in my hand, as I start Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins. Bright and uplifting, the piano serenades the start of the day.
