Below is a post about a 2006 work (breastfeeding advocacy/promotion) trip to Amarillo, TX that I just found.

I have returned from Amarillo, Texas where I was visiting a hospital for work. I have to say, I don't see myself ever returning for another visit. First off, I had to take a flight to Dallas...

It’s no secret that Chicago has, well, should we say an interesting and rich political history. Hell, I voted three times in the primary held in February. I didn’t, but though some of the scandal inherent in the city has diminished, the political climate in Chicago still blows cold and shady....

Only nine days left to the big 60!

Mom took care of the blogging today.....

Ten days from another decade passing for me, but so far I'm able to keep up with Becky. There are shades of the 3-day breast cancer walk, as she occasionally adjusts her pace to my speed. As always she is ever supportive and encouraging,...

For her 60th birthday, I took my mom to New York City. We attempted to keep a travel log. Below is our account of our first day in NYC.
