Maybe more costumes
Today is Halloween. Depending on where you live, this marks a day where you will see many people, young and old parading around in costumes. And then, just by looking at them, you are expected to guess who they are. Based on the mask, the clothing, the makeup, you have clues. The more outlandish, the…

Artechouse used Love is Blind to its advantage
I went to Artechouse back in February. It was an immersive experience that allowed me to experience the creative power of AI. I went alone and was able to linger in each space and contemplate for an extended time. I look fondly on that time and plan to get over there to see more exhibits.…

Equinox Hotel is becoming one of my favorites for this reason
I previously stayed using the Science of Sleep package, but I had a sneaking suspicion that the package didn’t add all that much to my experience. I wanted to know what the “regular experience” was. Some of the same elements that were meant to assist with sleep were still there. The only in-room difference I…

I had to try this energy boosting treatment at Equinox for myself
I entered the dimly lit room hoping it would be exactly what I needed. It was the start of my session on the Spa Wave Table at Equinox Hotel Hudson Yards. I had been looking forward to trying this treatment since February, back when my plan had been thwarted when it was out of service.…

Apparently, I’ll be there, too
Sigh, what I wouldn’t give to escape my problems. Like, if I were a billionaire able to fly into space, far. I’d be so grateful to finally escape all the obstacles I face here on Earth. It’d be worth the thousands, nay millions, necessary to get away from it all. There’s just one problem with…

Okay, you could pay me stay at Populus Denver
The other day this icebreaker question popped up on the screen at the meeting: If you were given $10 million to do any job in the world, regardless of your skill set, what would you do?” I immediately thought, I’d be a travel writer. Sorry, let me be more specific. I would be a professional…

Do you really want feedback?
Years ago, I had an argument. My sentiment was that it was harmful to ask for feedback if there was never an intention to use it. It was a waste of everyone’s time to do a performance collection of thoughts we’d never act on. If anything, such practices would create situations where we wouldn’t get…

I wasn’t going to say anything
As I prepared to go to sleep in my hotel room, I thought, “Oh, I should turn off the TV.” Then I remembered it wasn’t my TV I was listening to. I had been following the cable news broadcast word for word from the TV in the room next to me. It was loud, and…
