Please and thank you.

I think a glass of milk? To wash down my nighttime meds LOL.

I have half of a tallboy in the fridge that I'm considering drinking before I try to sleep, but we'll see if I do or not.

Okay, scratch that, I did just go to the fridge and chug the rest of my drink LOL. So that's the last beverage I had, a 7% regular Hey Y'all.

Thanks for asking!!!

Please and thank you.

Hmm there's two that come to mind right away and i can't choose between them lol. On one hand, I really love a good thunderstorm. ESPECIALLY when there's no real rain with it, it's just a lightning storm with strong winds, especially in autumn. And on the other hand, I've always been a sucker for snow.

Just got the word from Feedspot that Travalanche ranks #57 of all New York City based blogs and websites, which I call not too shabby given that the list is topped by the likes of ILoveNewYork, The New York Press, and Fashionista, and that NYC must have thousand upon thousands of websites. Check it out! There are other stats to report.  I’m…

Early 2024 More than usual, 2024 was a year of joys and sorrows for us here at Trav S.D. Laboratories. The sorrows you can guess at — they began around November 5. But most of the Travisian twenty-four was grand and exciting. New ground was broken. And for once, my end-of-year wrap-up includes PLENTY of genuine bold faced names, including several movie stars and nationally celebrated authors.…

February 29, 2008 was the day Travalanche was launched, making this erstwhile offspring of mine 16 years old, but having had only four birthdays. A Leap Year Baby. I launched the blog while I was the marketing person for Brooklyn’s public access cable TV station.
