Interviewed by Budget Travel
JD Rinner at Budget Travel recently interviewed me. I need to take the photo of me in Honduras off the photo page I send to media folks. They always choose that one. When I use the photo in presentations I accompany it with, “Come on. Would you let that joker into your factory. The fro…the T-shirt… Really?”
The cool thing about the interview is that they asked some travel related questions I haven’t been asked. Have a sample:

A Donut Rant
This morning I was craving me some donuts. So it began…
“You don’t need any,” the reasonable part of me said, “You’ll be on a sugar high for a few hours and then you’ll crash on the couch worthless for the rest of the day.”
“But I just want two,” the rest of me pleaded.
“How bad do you want them?”
“How about I run first. That’ll wake me up and burn some calories.”
“Deal.”
So that’s how the bargaining went down. I ran and then, 45 minutes later, I was standing in Concannon’s Donut shop staring at case

Where Am I Wearing? Under Armour
Today I’m wearing Spandex.
That’s right Spandex. I just got done jogging.
Before you take your mental picture of me wearing Spandex too far, I better inform you that I’m wearing shorts over my Spandex. Anyone that wears Spandex as an outer layer that is not a biker or a wrestler, is either so vain you probably think this post is about you (Don’t you? Don’t you?) or has let themselves go to such an extent they just don’t give a darn anymore.
Specifically, I’m wearing Under Armour. I’m a big fan

Coolest news of the day
Dalton, my translator/bud in Bangladesh, reports that Arifa, the garment worker I followed for the day, should be receiving a copy of “Where Am I Wearing?” today. I would love to be there when she sees her picture in the book. I wish she could read it.
