My Differently for today was going to get an ultrasound to try to find the rogue spots that showed up on my PET scan a couple of weeks ago. I’ve had an ultrasound before but only an internal one done with the endoscopies (tubes and cameras and stuff down my...

I have written a bunch of books – mostly about Las Vegas. But I have never really looked them up as a full package. Today I did… Frommer’s Las Vegas 1998 (co-written with Mary Herczog, 1997) The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Las Vegas first...

I didn’t do anything actually different today I just did different versions of things that I feel like I’ve done a billion times already. I went back to the Roy & Patricia Disney Family Cancer Center but I went to the third floor for the first time....

Remember that set of 4 martini glasses I bought as my Differently back on Day 15? Yeah, now I only have 3. This is why I can’t have nice things. I’m going to go back to drinking out of plastic cups – it’s much more my speed. BTW, in case you...

I’ve had a rough day. I won’t bore you with the details, but sufficed to say that my Differently today involved stopping at the liquor store on the way home where I bought a bunch of random booze to try in different drinks tonight. Included is something...

Before I get to the totally random, totally silly Differently, I just wanted to mention that I followed up on the wildly random, wildly coincidental incident in the bathroom in Las Vegas and scheduled an appointment today with Dr. Wile E. Coyote. It’s next...

The main reason I’m writing this blog is to keep myself honest about the core mission of The Year of Living Differently, which is doing something different every day. I know myself well enough to know that if I hadn’t been documenting this in some way...
