Have you actually ever stayed in an airbnb place?
Before a couple of weeks ago I would have had to say – no, I think airbnb is a cool idea but I’ve never stayed anywhere via their portal. That’s not true any longer, I’ve taken the plunge. It wasn’t … Continue reading

We rented a truck yesterday. It was a 14 foot truck which is a fairly large truck and is listed as a commercial vehicle. I don’t have a commercial driver’s license and was not informed by the clerk that I … Continue reading

The view in the photo is much like that which I see every morning on my commute to New York City by train that for at least part of the ride trails the Connecticut shoreline. I am finishing my first … Continue reading
When Google drives your car
When I talk with people about the idea of driverless cars – i.e. Google driving you around, most people agree that it could happen in their lifetime. I laugh a bit and ask if their idea of a lifetime is … Continue reading
You’d miss Daylight Savings Time more than you think
If you are extra-sleepy this Monday morning of November, you are probably blaming it on the ‘time change’. The U.S. still adheres to the semi-annual moving of the clocks one hour forward on the first Sunday in April (spring forward), … Continue reading
