My Final Boarding Call {Gadling}
Apr 13th 2012 11:22PM Hi Mike,
You had a great Gadling run. Congrats on your new venture. Here's a link to a post I wrote in honor of Neil Woodburn, another Gadling blogger. In the post, there's a picture of a statue of Hermes with directions on how to turn it into a real statue. I'm sure Neil wouldn't mind if you made one for yourself.

I think every Gadling blogger could use such a statue. Don't you? I'll look forward to reading your work whereever you write.

By the way, you do look great on that horse.
TSA snags child's Christmas present: Think like TSA when packing your carry on {Gadling}
Apr 2nd 2012 10:26PM Hi Igor,
I saw your comment about the bow and arrow. It sounds like you were able to check yours. Good for you for checking it! Sometimes the price is worth it. As for us, we still have the bow and arrow. I think it's more mine than my son's.
Top tips for TBEX and other writers' conferences: What I've learned from 20 years of success stories at Book Passage {Gadling}
May 22nd 2011 4:56PM Hi Don,
These are great tips for life as well. I'm sorry I'll miss TBEX this year. I enjoyed meeting you in person on the sidewalk in NYC last summer when you were heading to TBEX's last sessions. I was heading to the airport and was walking with my brother.
And, by the way... thanks for helping me not feel too badly about my boxes and bags of brochures.
Where Would You Travel for a Meal? {Gadling}
May 10th 2011 2:55PM What a great idea for a post! For what it's worth, I'd travel to Singapore, head to the hawker stalls over by Clementi, start off with pinapple rice and keep going. Hope all is swell with you.
SkyMall Monday: Five Stones Ring {Gadling}
May 2nd 2011 10:29PM Plus, there's the "five gold rings" right after the four calling birds and before the six geese a laying. The five gold rings are the best part of that song. Congrats, again, by the way. This ring reminds me of rummaging through the prize drawer at the doctor's or dentist's office when I was a kid.
Raft for the Cure in Moab this June {Gadling}
Apr 19th 2011 9:46AM Kraig, this sounds like a blast. I've been through Moab a few times and always wished we had time to stop and raft. This year my son and husband are doing a raft trip on the Smith River in Montana again. Alas, I am going to be working so therefore, no raft trip for me.
You're right, the price does seem to be a bargain and what a gorgeous piece of U.S. real estate.
The great Italian can opener conundrum {Gadling}
Oct 10th 2010 7:52PM Hi David,
Just to let you know, I was having dinner out tonight with a bunch of folks who are into spiritual quests and one of the people mentioned "there's a book by a guy who wrote about travel in search of Jesus's foreskin." I was proud to say, "I know that guy!"
I wanted to pass it on since one often doesn't find out about those times when one comes up in conversation at the dinner table. By the way, there were eight of us eating at the Happy Greek in Columbus, Ohio. So there you have it. You're party conversation.
Hope all is well with you!
All the best,
Jamie
Lazy rivers: The best U.S. float trips {Gadling}
Jun 7th 2010 10:27PM Geddy37, I second your motion.
Another great trip is the Smith River in Montana. Hard to get a permit, tho'. http://www.gadling.com/2009/12/29/rafting-the-smith-river-in-montana-now-is-the-time-to-plan/
The friends who I went with two summers ago have not been able to snag a permit since.
Berkeley diary: The way of the tortoise {Gadling}
Apr 23rd 2010 8:27AM Sorry, I meant Trisha.
Also, I like the word ambassadorship. It would be a good word to put on classroom walls.
Berkeley diary: The way of the tortoise {Gadling}
Apr 23rd 2010 8:23AM Lovely piece Don. It reminds me of how I feel when I step into an ESL classroom of adults from all over the world and they tell me of their dreams.
Trina, in my experience (I've taught every grade K-12) classrooms do teach these concepts which is one indication of why schools are a hope for the future, particularly when schools embrace diversity.
It's when kids go home that I sometimes worry about. When nastiness comes out of a kid's mouth, I think of that apple and a tree.
