The first time I visited New York City doesn't really count.   I was help hostage by Nepalese monks somewhere in Brooklyn.

As hostage-takers go, they were okay.  I got four square meals a day and my own room.  But I wasn't able to go anywhere on my own.  If I wanted to go for a walk someone went with me.  If I wanted to see the city, a monk took me to Madame Tousseau's as if that was all there was to be seen.

Monks are supposed to be peaceful, but their torture was particularly sinister.  Hour ...

You never know where in the world Kelsey will turn up or why he is there. He went to Bangladesh because his underwear was made there. He went to Romania to spend the night alone in Dracula's Castle. And no one is sure why he went to Kosovo. He claims it was to PlayStation, but that doesn't make any sense at all, does it?Lucky for you, to win a HD Video Flip camera plus a few Frommer's travel guides all you have to do is guess Kelsey's secret location, not his motives.  Each week you'll be...

JD Schuyler is a young (younger than me) videographer based in Indianapolis.  As a videographer and storyteller, I think he's destined for big things.  Currently one of those big things is Stories From the Border:

…footage of undocumented migrants, healthcare providers, NGO workers, religious members and citizens of marginalized communities…an effort to present the depth and breadth of issues that surround the U.S./Mexico border… documenting the issues that seem almost omnipresent along the...

Whelp, today is the day I run the NYC marathon. You can follow me by going to the ING NYC Marathon's site. My bib # is 33809. Also, I will be posting photos of the day's events to my twitpic account.

It'll be me taking each step, but so many have supported me and my cause. I feel like I'm running for a with a whole bunch of folks.

Annie, as always has been a saint. Since June I've either been running or recovering from a run every Saturday. On occasion I did milk my "recovering" excuse to...

The new Levi's commercial is well done.  I mean how can you go wrong with Walt Whitman and sprinklers?  But I can't help think that it's a bit ironic that there isn't a single Levi's factory left on American soil.  The Levi's I tracked down were Made in Cambodia.

An excerpt from "Where Am I Wearing?"

I forgive you.

I forgive you for being a jackass.

Sure, "jackass" might be harsh, but how else do you explain a cop that lies in wait on I-80 just beyond the point where the speed limit changes from 70 to 45 before a toll area and pulls over a dog-loving writer on his way to give a free talk at a library?

You broke a law too you know? It was still dark and when you followed me into the toll, you didn't even have your headlights on.

It was dark, but I could see you. Don't go thinking that...
