As the needle dug into my flesh, I recalled how much a tattoo can hurt. I also remembered that it wasn’t nearly as painful as I first anticipated. And in the end, for a design I truly loved, it was all worth it. I wasn’t at Denver’s Th’ink tank Tattoo, though, for a new tattoo, […]

The Ghosts of Christmas 2012
‘Twas the night before Christmas and not a creature was stirring, not one except a big ol’ blogger looking back on his year of travel. I feel blessed after such a wonderful year. From a road trip to Arizona, my first adventure of the year, to trips back home to the Midwest, and many points […]
A Las Vegas Trip to Death Valley National Park
It only takes about two hours to get from the hotels on the Las Vegas Strip to Death Valley National Park, a short and easy day trip from the craziness of Sin City. I stood atop Dante’s View with my friend, happy to have made the drive. We got a deal on a car rental […]

Touring the Titanic in Las Vegas
I’ve been to Las Vegas so many times on vacation it’s not even funny. But, when it comes down to seeing anything in the town, I’m really rather a novice to be quite honest. I can tell you exactly how to get to the bathroom in so many casinos, but I’ve never really done any […]
Inking My Travels
When I was a child, and I mean young, I broached the subject with my father about getting a tattoo. He told me that if I did I wouldn’t live under his roof any longer. Well, this wasn’t really an issue as I’ve always been afraid of needles. I guess, as I look back on […]
