I love ice hockey. I love watching the National Hockey League (NHL) and follow the Stanley Cup Playoffs religiously. I would put my hockey knowledge up against any Canadian. However, never in my life have I actually played hockey myself. Growing up in Trumbull, Connecticut I played every sport there was and played very well […]

March 4, 2015 by 2 Comments
I did a Canadian Rockies Heli Snowshoeing Tour in Alberta and it was tremendous! I had no idea what that meant either before I did it but you’ll see from my photos and explanation why it’s so cool! First, you’ve got to get yourself from Calgary or Banff to Morley and use a company called […]

5 Awesome Things to do in and Around Whistler
September 23, 2014 by 3 Comments
I first went to Vancouver and Whistler in October 2002 during my first British Columbia trip right after I quit my job for the first time.

3 Days in Cincinnati
September 15, 2014 by 9 Comments
Before mid-August I only knew three things about Cincinnati, Ohio. I used to watch the old sitcom ‘WKRP in Cincinnati’ with my parents, their sports teams and they have a Masters tennis tournament.

Molokai is the Most Interesting Island in Hawaii
July 2, 2014 by 11 Comments
Molokai is the least populated of the inhabited Hawaiian Islands but certainly one of the most beautiful. Molokai is a step back in time; it feels like something out of the South Pacific like the Marquesas Islands or the Solomon Islands; certainly not America. Molokai is laid back and slow-paced but there is much on […]
My Unforgettable Indy 500 Weekend
May 27, 2014 by 13 Comments
Ever since I was a kid I have watched at least some portion of almost every Indianapolis 500 race. It reminds me of my Dad, Memorial Day and being a kid thinking how strange and cool the Indy cars looked and sounded. I had always wanted to go to the Indy 500. I just had […]
