Jimmy Buffett the Storyteller
This weekend I took a quick trip to Paris to attend my 18th and 19th Jimmy Buffett concerts – my 9th year of seeing him in Europe! As per usual, it was a tiny venue and the concerts were very intimate – just Jimmy and several hundred fans. After a full day of tailgating (withContinue reading “Jimmy Buffett the Storyteller”
Paris and Buffett v6.0 – Day 2
We woke up [very late] Saturday morning and seized the day. Katie met her friend for some touring about and I decided to go for a run. Once again the weather was absolutely perfect and I figured I could see more of Paris running than walking. Instead of following a predetermined route, I decided justContinue reading “Paris and Buffett v6.0 – Day 2”

Buffett in Paris–again!
This weekend I hopped on the train to Paris to meet Mom for her birthday. The very first time I took the TGV from Lausanne to Paris it was to be with Katie before the MBAT and now, the last time I took it (for a while, at least) was to be with Mom forContinue reading “Buffett in Paris–again!”
London
This weekend in London was awesome. After a week of being sick enough to keep me out of the office (The doctor was positive I had malaria–yikes!) I managed to shape up enough to travel on Friday without incident. Friday evening itself was uneventful and I just settled into my hotel in Westminster. Saturday IContinue reading “London”
Mixed Media
Last week marked several milestones for me regarding different forms of media: 1. I finished listening to the entire Jimmy Buffett discography chronologically and am now well prepared for the July 5th concert in London. Speaking of which, I still have an extra ticket for that show if any Parrot Heads are looking to join.Continue reading “Mixed Media”
It Finally Happened
This weekend has been remarkable for several reasons. Chronologically: 1. On Friday it was announced that Jimmy Buffett will be performing not one but two shows in Europe this year, both in small venues. July 5th he will be in London in a theater that seats ~2,000 and September 26th he will be in ParisContinue reading “It Finally Happened”
Cheeseburger in Paradise
Last night I went to a coworker’s apartment for . . . cheeseburgers! I can’t remember when was the last time I indulged in meaty, gooey goodness–maybe not since 2008–but I was very excited to revisit it. When I arrived at her apartment I met several of her friends (from Switzerland, Russia, and the CzechContinue reading “Cheeseburger in Paradise”
