A Christmas Story Story
Blog: My Kind of Town (& Around) - 6 December 2011
Now that it's cold enough outside to stick a tongue to a flagpole, I always think of Cleveland, Ohio. You probably do, too, without realizing it. Because the city holds the house from A Christmas Story, the 1983 film in which Ralphie yearns for a Red Ryder BB gun.

Remembering the Day of Infamy
Blog: Ottsworld - 6 December 2011
Planes are zooming in, rat-a-tat-tat echoing around me, bombs exploding, smoke everywhere and the footage continues to roll past me in black and white. The Pearl Harbor attack; a day I’ve only read about. As I sit and watch the movie of the attack, which includes old footage and ancient pictures of a horrible day, [...]

Over the Rainbow in Hawaii
Blog: Ottsworld - 2 December 2011
When moisture and sunshine combine in just the right combination, a rainbow occurs. The perfect combination happens more often in Hawaii than any other state and that’s why the state motto is The Rainbow State! During my 3 weeks in Oahu and the Big Island I saw more rainbows than I’ve ever seen in my [...]

Lava is a Battlefield – Chain of Craters Road
Blog: Ottsworld - 1 December 2011
The radio plays old Van Morison tunes as I sing along in the car with my eyes peeled on the Chain of Craters Road wondering what I will encounter next. Even the radio station on the Big Island has the call letters – LAVA – I let out a little chuckle at the silliness of [...]

The Perfect Christmas in NYC
Blog: Vagabond3 - 1 December 2011
Central Park There is a reason why everyone says, “I love NY”, and spending the holidays in New York City is nothing short of magical. There is a cool chill in the air, extra bright lights hung up around the city, ice skating, and hot chocolate drinking, and an all around joy that can be seen on the faces of most everyone walking the streets. Bob and I spent Christmas in NY...

Habitat for Humanity in Alaska
Blog: Canada's Adventure Couple - 30 November 2011
When I first got home from my trip to Anchorage, Alaska, I couldn’t write about it. I decided to spend 1.5 months traveling to different cities within the U.S. Two weeks was dedicated to my first Habitat for Humanity trip and my second time away from mainland America.

What a great time to be in Freeport!
Blog: Brewster House News - 29 November 2011
What a beautiful time of year to be in Freeport! The leaves have fallen, we've seen a couple of snowfalls (though they've since melted), and the crowds of summer vacationers and shoppers have gone back to school, jobs, etc.

Cathie Ryan: teaching tradition
Blog: Music Road - 28 November 2011
“I love teaching Irish music to adults, or even teenagers, because I know they go out -- even with little kids too, so I can say teaching singing across the board -- because I know they’re going to go out with a whole song that they have learned, at least one, and they’re going to be able to share that with other people. They're going to have confidence to do that because they’ve worked on it in class. Just singing with other people in class gives you confidence, you know. So that is a joy.” That is Cathie Ryan talking.

10 Things One San Franciscan Likes About Los Angeles
Blog: Girl, Unstoppable - 28 November 2011
In the vast and varied country of the United States, fellow residents tend to misunderstand each other as much as they have a tendency to misunderstand the world beyond. It’s disconcerting to see how many people form concrete opinions of other places based on very little knowledge of and experience in those places. I discovered [...]

Hiking in the Dark
Blog: Vagabond3 - 28 November 2011
Hiking in the dark sounds bold, dangerous and exciting. And, it is. Anyone can hike Runyon Canyon during the day- but what’s the fun in that? There are hundreds of people around, yes- maybe a celebrity or two, but it’s hard to truly relax and unwind when you’re still having to deal with traffic? So, with the help of the time change, Bob and I have started hiking about an...

Northwest Arkansas Wishes You Were Here
Blog: Suzy Guese - 25 November 2011
It’s Saturday night and Alice Walton is calling the hogs. The traditional Arkansas Razorback football hog call is something outsiders like myself never completely understand. The “Woo, Pig, Sooie!” cannot be uttered at certain times and comes with an entire set of hand gestures akin to jazz hands, jazz hands. And yet, in this northwest [...]

Visit the Movie: Shawshank Redemption
Blog: A Traveler's Library - 25 November 2011
Destination: Mansfield, Ohio Movie: The Shawshank Redemption (1994) When I hear the term “movie magic,” rather than think of the technology– shadows move around so that we think they are real–I think of the magic as an unknowable X factor that appears for the fortunate few movies. Casablanca had it. Recently The King’s Speech had it.
