🍔 Museum Mischief and Culinary Curiosity: Solo Shenanigans in the City
Sunday April 6th, 2025 Mi esposa is still out of town, so let’s sneak out and be naughty. We’ll take a historic tour of the Fraunces Tavern Museum. 😈 Delightfully devilish, Seymour. I won’t spoil the tour, but there are two highlights at this museum. As for item number two, it is wild to hear… Continue reading

🏕️ Long Island Camping Prep: A Three-Hour Tour (or Four, or Five, or Six)
Sunday March 23rd, 2025 At the end of May I have a campsite booked out on Long Island. I have never taken the Long Island trains or busses, so I don’t know how they operate. Do they take tap to pay like the NYC busses and trains? Is it a flat fee to get on,… Continue reading

🧱 Derek DelGaudio’s In and of Itself & American Dream Mall
Monday November 18th, 2024 We went into Manhattan for breakfast and I spilled coffee on my shirt. But then I had an idea! What if Lauri had a moustache? And what if I ordered a Wagyu burger with Truffle fries? Just kidding. The reason I’m pointing at this light a few pictures back is because… Continue reading

🗽 The Statue of Liberty & Wham (the food, not the band)
Saturday October 12, 2024 I found a Seventh-Day Adventist store in Queens! “What is a Seventh-Day Adventist store and why does this matter?” you ask? Well, my friend. Seventh-Day Adventists have the best food. Specifically a salty little item called Wham (which has been renamed “meatless ham” or something). Unfortunately this store that carries my… Continue reading

😡 I Was Someone’s Rude New Yorker & Broadway Shows
Saturday September 7th, 2024 Today we are seeing Hadestown on Broadway! There is much debate about whether or not to look up info about the show in advance, but since I know almost nothing about Greek mythology I looked up the story of Orpheus and Eurydice in advance. I am very glad that I did… Continue reading

🦇Mustang Grapes, Mayhaw Jelly & Hiking To The Bat Cave (Texas State Park)
February 10th, 2024 10:10pm Austin, Texas. Cloudy. 57° F (14° C) Tuesday, Feb 6: I looked up Mayhaw berries for the Mayhaw jelly that I purchased in Fredericksburg, Texas. Fascinating little fruit.
