New Orleans, the ultimate playground for adults. The Carousel Bar at the Hotel Monteleone is Exhibit A. Sitting at the bar is like riding on a merry-go-round. You turn round and round, taking in a constant 360-degree view. The bartender is stationary. But he needs to be able to hop over the bar to replenish supplies or change shifts. We drank Vieux Carres on a thunder-and-lightning stoked...

Davidson County Cast Iron: Pimento Cheese - A... →
Well, I have no idea where Davidson County is, but as we drove up and around the Gulf, through Fairport, Alabama, we stopped and had a pimiento cheese sandwich. I read about this stuff years ago in a cooking magazine and made my own (hey - I’m not from the South, but it sounded good). Just found this recipe that is close to the version I make. I usually spread it on Triscuits, so having a...

Eating Big Reds on the Redneck Riviera (that’s what they tell us they call this place). The “shrimp” are amazing!

Road Trip to Arcata, California...and Back
This was a fun one. We were invited to a Brandi Carlile concert - 5 hours north of home. Free tickets. A chance to talk with Brandi about a very important cause to us (and her) - Out4Immigration. So, Viki and I blocked off a Tuesday and Wednesday and hopped in the truck. It had been five or six years since we drove this far north on Highway 101 to redwood country. It made us stop and think and...

A Journey Home, in Search of Himself
In between road trips, I look for inspiration - for my next trip, for past trips, for easing that feeling that I’ve been “immobile” for too long, driving only when necessary to get around the city - the rest of the time walking, or taking the bus. Having gone too long with too much between me and the open road. Just read this in today’s New York Times. It’s by Dwight...
