I’ll Eat To That
Travel diaries, food porn, random rants, and various musings about stuff that I feel like musing about.

TYOLD Day 71: False Alarm?
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 throat)...
TYOLD Day 70: Every Book I Have Ever Written
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 edition (1998) Moon...
TYOLD Day 69: Haven’t I Been Here Before?
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. I sat in yet...
TYOLD Day 68: Pineapple Jalapeno Margarita
My friend Maureen and I went back to Warren's Blackboard restaurant tonight. It was just as amazing as the first time and I almost ordered all of the same things I had before but decided to mix it up, starting with a drink. Pineapple Jalepeno Margarita. Can I just...
TYOLD Day 67: The Rest of the Amendments
No, I didn't know there were 27 amendments. Yes, I am that stupid. Yesterday, I went through the first 10 in the Bill of Rights. Today I went through the rest. Below is what I learned - or rather, think I learned. If I am misinterpreting any of these, feel free to...
TYOLD Day 66: Bill of Rights
As I have often stated, I have the worst memory in the world. I remember almost nothing specific about my childhood (except for the sucky things - those memories are still pretty vivid) and most of my young adulthood is a blur as well. Of course the latter probably...
TYOLD Day 65: Glass
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 are wondering, I have...
TYOLD Day 64: I Need a Drink, Roz
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 called OM...
TYOLD Day 63: Flipping the Bird
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 Monday....
TYOLD Day 62: You Don’t Need to Know Everything
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 - almost as...
Deeper Dives
The Year of Living With Cancer
In 2012, I was diagnosed with Esophageal Cancer. To help myself cope with it, I wrote about it. A lot. And yes, the picture of Angela and Jordan will make sense at some point if you read enough.
The Year of Living Differently
After cancer, I decided to try to mix things up and do something different every single day for a year. Did I make it?
50 for 50 by 50
To celebrate, or perhaps to distract myself from, my impending 50th birthday in 2016, I embarked on a project to give $50 to 50 different charities by the time I turned 50.
