It’s 18:46 and 23℃ in Seattle. My husband and I are am enjoying a Manhattan cocktail in the outdoor lounge of the Marriott Waterfront in Seattle. We just watched the cutest bunny happily hop down the sidewalk and into dense tree lawn hedges. A jam band near the US Cincinnati combat ship […]

I have arrived in Seattle 1 day, 16 hours, 40 minutes after I started my journey from Stockholm. SAS canceling a flight last minute and then replacement Delta flights being canceled due to extreme weather made for quite the travel experience.

Last night, I went to The Liffey with my friend Vivien to see Bligh Walter perform. Me: “Reservation is under Jeremiah Lee.” Host: [chuckles to himself and pauses] “That’s not a name you hear often.” Me: “I hear it all the time.” Host: [confused] Me: “No, it’s not a common name.” Host […]

Non-refundable train and airline tickets on regularly scheduled routes should be illegal in the EU. Please get on that, @EUCommission. #EUPol

[testicles talk] Today, I am grateful for the BER airport lounge toilet. Because it is not a shaky stilted outhouse composting toilet that requires strategic lifting of testicles when sitting down. #DWebCamp
