I posted previously about my plans for a 1700 mile road trip in four days (here). I survived the trip and it actually ended up being closer to 1800 miles. I crossed through nine states (OH, PA, NY, VT, NH, MA, CT, NJ, and WV) and used almost 60 gallons of gasoline.

1700 miles and four days
September 26th, 2009 5 Comments
This coming weekend I’ll be making a road trip of massive proportions. Almost 1700 miles in four days. I’ll go from Columbus, OH to New England and back with a stop in New Jersey along the way. The reason for the trip is a memorial service for Sandy’s grandfather but we’re trying to make the [...]

These two stores are largely considered the Meccas of traditional American men’s clothing, particularly those that subscribe to the natural shoulder, sack cut, ivy league style. This style has [...]

NYC Part III: All good things must come to an end
May 7th, 2008 1 Comment
By the end of our trip Sandy and I were ready to quit our jobs, rent a closet-sized apartment, and make the NYC experience a permanent one. It is just an intoxicating place. The food, the shopping, the sites, the people… something is always happening and that something is never boring. NYC [...]
