American Nomad: December 2008
http://wanderingamericannomad.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Not all who wander are lost, but some might be. Tuesday, December 16, 2008. Don't get smug, it never really gets easy. . . If I listen closely I can still hear the patter of water dripping onto my bathroom floor. That would be my slowly drying jeans and khakis hung over the shower rod. If I get lucky they’ll be wearable by the end of tomorrow. With no water source connected the machine, how was I going to rinse the towel? And where was I going to drain the water to? The second question turned out to be t...

American Nomad: October 2007
http://wanderingamericannomad.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Not all who wander are lost, but some might be. Wednesday, October 31, 2007. Fly to Africa. . .or make an omlet. I am the second-most patient person in my immediate family. I am outdone in that department by my mom, who, with a large amount of grace and dignity, is almost always able to keep a level head. And when I've been on the wrong side of her finally losing it, I deserve it. You have to let the pancakes cook before you flip them, and no amount of cursing or checking with the spatula will speed up t...

Not all who wander are lost, but some might be. Friday, November 16, 2007. Photos from Cairo, Luxor, and Sinai Egypt and Granada, Spain. Monday, November 12, 2007. When I went to Egypt, I gave my mom a geography lesson. Here's where Egypt is. No, I'm not close to Israel even though it's only half an inch away on the map. If I tell you I'm in Cairo, and something happens in Luxor, that means I Wasn't There. Marshall wasn't the headline. I talked to him today and remembered he was in Prague all weekend...
