Why I’m Boycotting Major League Baseball

Stratford, NJ, USA Before writing my full recap of my trip to Chicago and Milwaukee, I should probably explain why I went to begin with. Most people who know me know that I have been boycotting Major League Baseball since 1994. Of course, this sometimes presents a challenge, considering that my favorite hobby is visiting [...]

Nana and Why I’m having a hard time moving on

STRATFORD, NJ, USA Note: Here’s an interesting dichotomy about me: on one hand, I think I’m a pretty open, public person, as evinced by this website.  But, at the same time, there are some topics that I rarely, or never, touch on here, or even with friends.  They’re personal, and I don’t feel like sharing.  [...]

If you could meet anyone…

I’ve been getting a lot more comments than usual the past few days.  I’m not exactly sure why, but I’ll take it! So, I thought I’d use this moment of popularity to try to play-up the interactivity of my blog by posing you a question: If you could meet anyone, whom would you meet? I know, I [...]

WanderBUSt: Chinatown busses vs. Greyhound vs. Amtrak

STRATFORD, NJ, USA Sometimes, I feel like Bubba from Forrest Gump. I’ve been on public busses and private busses. City busses and intercity busses. Domestic busses and international busses. Busses that left early and busses that left late. I’ve waited for busses that never showed up at all. I’ve been on busses that got into [...]

Quick long week with a new toy (Gateway ML3109)

STRATFORD, NJ, USA It’s hard to believe, but this time last week I was in Delaware for Dan’s wedding!  As I mentioned, it was a really fun time.  And, like usual, the week after a fun time seems to be a rough week here at my grandmom’s.  Even after being here for over 10 months, [...]

Women’s sports

One of my friends asked me to fill out this survey about women’s basketball.  One of the questions asked what differences there are between men’s and women’s basketball.  You know that I love analyzing sports culture, and how sports culture intersects with popular culture.  Here is my response. Men’s sports have centuries of history; women’s [...]

Books, Travel, Politics, and The Old Patagonian Express

Stratford, NJ, USA  Just like writing on my website, when it comes to reading books, I go in spurts. It’s not uncommon for me to read 5 books in a month, and then not crack a book for a year.  That can be a good thing or a bad thing.  When I get on a roll, [...]

More comments than content!

Stratford, NJ, USA I haven’t posted that much in the past week.  Part of it might be laziness, but I really don’t have all that much to say anyway. Well, let me re-phrase that.  I haven’t come up with many ideas to write about.  Maryland Macaca, however, has.  I mean, she has come up with [...]

Strange Maps

I found this blog earlier today, and it’s REALLY cool for anyone interested in political/human geography (ME!) and/or cartography (me, to a lesser extent).  Strange Maps.  Just thought I’d pass it along.
