We ended up walking, slowly because 50s, to The Brass Balls for lunch. Sat outside under the umbrellas, with little birds flitting about like ninjas after crumbs left on the floor. And I say ninjas, because they have mad skills without the fuck-it-all attitude that seagulls have. Seriously, have ya’ll been to a boardwalk? In … Continue reading M.I.A. – Part 2

…In Random Places
We went on a road trip last weekend, as previously written. We always look forward to road trips together. Well, I look forward to road trips and he loves me so I am taking the liberty of saying we look forward to road trips. He drives and I enjoy the scenery and sometimes shout “ooh!” … Continue reading …In Random Places
Return to OCMD – Last Day
This was the first trip to the beach where I was content to watch the sunrise from the balcony. Todd had gotten up and went down to the beach to take a few dozen photos and I snapped a few of him from my place on the balcony. When he finally turned to walk back, … Continue reading Return to OCMD – Last Day
Return to OCMD – Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That
Monday morning, day 3. Lying in bed, while Todd went for a walk, reading a book and texting mom whose only concern seemed to be that I “DID NOT get the hippies in trouble.” I mean, really. Ain’t nobody got time for that. You know what else ain’t nobody got time for? Three – count … Continue reading Return to OCMD – Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That
Return to OCMD
898 days after the beginning of the Sars-CoV-2 worldwide pandemic, aka COVID-19, Todd and I returned to Ocean City for a LONG overdue vacation. Disclaimer: the five days we were there were hotter than Satan’s ass crack, and you will be hearing a lot more complaints about this in the days to come. At the … Continue reading Return to OCMD
The Girls Take Cape May, 2019
Mom, Veruca, and I took our annual girls’ trip to the shore. Mom picked V up at her dad’s and drove here to pick me up (not exactly on the way but Moses was staying with Todd). I was the last one ready and mom was literally threatening to get in the car with V … Continue reading The Girls Take Cape May, 2019
The Long Journey Home
……began at 3 a.m. Todd loaded everything into the rental car – a Chevy Equinox that smelled like a brand new car, had that unnerving stop-start technology, and the worst turning radius since my Volvo. Stop-start by the way, if you’re as unfamiliar as I was, basically means the car goes into this sort of … Continue reading The Long Journey Home
Sin City – The Climax
Day 4 We drove down the Strip to see the long-awaited Venetian. This is the one casino I wanted to see most. And it was stunning. Italy-inspired facades …the ceilings were painted like sky and clouds (which is exactly what Caesar’s and Paris did too) and the “sidewalks” were glistening like wet stones. I was … Continue reading Sin City – The Climax
Todd and Tara Take Sin City: Part 2
Day 2 Sunrise. Todd made coffee and I made a smoothie for breakfast. The singles/doubles tournament was at 2:30 so we had several hours to go down to the Strip. High of 99 degrees. I was really looking forward to this. We were greeted by the world-famous Welcome to Las Vegas sign as we drove … Continue reading Todd and Tara Take Sin City: Part 2
Todd and Tara Take Sin City
This year’s National Bowling Tournament season is in Vegas. I was so excited. Not excited to freeze my ass off at a bowling tournament as a spectator, but because I’ve never been to Nevada and I love adventures. And apparently when you get old there is a crapload of mishaps to make you question your … Continue reading Todd and Tara Take Sin City
