Nobody had ever seen top-quality coffee like this roasted in this unique style in America. The corner of Walnut and Vine quickly became a gathering place for…

    Ayutthaya, Thailand. Apparently, your head cannot be higher than the buddha’s so if you wanted to stand near the buddha head to take a picture, you were supposed to kneel.  My friend Arnold wanted me to take his picture as he was getting up so his head would be higher than the buddha’s….so sneaky!

Here is a picture of everyone squeezed into one of our rooms playing Mafia. You can tell it’s pretty late at night because that…

    I’m up typing this now because I can’t sleep. I think jet lag is settling in. I haven’t even stayed at home yet, because apparently there was a gas leak so they had to turn off the gas until Tuesday. Which means I have no hot water nor can I use the dryer. So I’ve…
