Oh, When the Saints Come Marching In
The start of the NFL season is always a good time here in New Orleans. But this year has been a little different. With the Super Bowl coming to the city at the end of the season, there is an excited buzz around town and always small, very very very small, glimmer of hope that…

Another Check on My Sports Bucket List — Ryder Cup, Part 1
I saw a Tweet in September 2022 from the Ryder Cup that the lottery was opening the next day for tickets to the 2023 edition, being held in Rome. On a whim, I set my alarm and the next day, registered for a few days of the tournament. I figured at worst, I’d get an…

Travel Smart, and Don’t Be a Jerk
As some of you know, I wrote for a travel blog during the pandemic. It was fun to stretch my wings. Plus, I got to do some tips and tricks for traveling both domestically and internationally.
