I have lived very close to, if not right on, the ocean for my entire life. I lived in Puerto Rico, the Florida Keys, Long Island New York, and coastal Connecticut for a combined 20 years. I was only steps away from the salty ocean air in all of those places. It really is a … Continue reading
I spotted the Mike’s Pastry boxes as soon as we arrived in Boston. Tourists of all kinds were carrying them around the city. Everywhere we went we saw them. Mike’s Pastry Shop is on Hanover Street, in the Italian district, of course. The line to order was out the door and down the block when … Continue reading

I remembered the dingy streets, standstill traffic, old buildings, and massive crowds of people everywhere. This time, I wanted to see more and I … Continue reading
Missoula might just be one of the coolest little cities in the northwest region of the U.S. I have been there several times: once to work the SoBe booth at their county fair, once to sell children’s books for Craigmore Creations, and most recently as our midway stopping point on the long drive between Yellowstone … Continue reading

I lived in Southeastern Connecticut for over 20 years and never heard of Captain Scott’s Lobster Dock.
