A few months ago, we flew back from Boston (and boy were our arms tired! No … seriously. My bag was kinda heavy). During the flight, I noticed the woman in the window seat across the aisle from us looking frantically for something after the crew had come to pick up trash. She was upset,…
That’s da bomb! Got any coke? We’re really high! Who do I have to hijack to get a drink in this place? Whoops! Wonder how that got by T.S.A. Wait a second … a concealed weapons permit still counts on a plane, right? Dude, you totally look like that guy from “Lost”! Sure, they check…
Part of me thinks this is a no-brainer, but nevertheless, let’s chat about it, shall we? Some friends gave us a Liberty Helicopter tour gift certificate as a wedding gift. We’re heading to New York in Early October, and I was thinking about using it, until I heard about last weekend’s horrific crash. So now…
There may be something wrong with me. I’ve accepted this (and if you’re still reading my blog, you should have, too, by now).

I saw this bag once and when I asked the hubby if I could have one, he emphatically said, “Jesus Christ … NO.” He clearly has no sense of humor.
Dear Everywhereist, How did you decide that “Everywhereist” should be spelled “Everywhereist” and not “Everywherist”? Are you ever worried that people with Germanic tendencies will pronounce it “Everywhere-iced”? Also, what is the appropriate formula for computing how many pairs of shoes one should pack, given the length (in days) of one’s trip? If the desired…
I forgot to include the craziest thing about last weekend’s drive down to Astoria. Between exits 72 and 73 on I-5 in southern Washington, roughly 90 miles from Seattle, are these delightful billboards: – To quote my dear husband, WHAT THE CRAP HELL?
