I attended the James Taylor concert last Thursday. Yes, I not only travel well, but am willing these days to drive 2+ hours on a Thursday night to Orlando. And of course, make the requisite wrong turn on the way back that sent me through Bithlo, something no one in...

Like I needed to fill my head with more information, I tuned into the Science Channel last night. After watching a great piece on the Tank on the Moon (about a Russian rover three decades before we had the ones on Mars), one of my favorite documentaries popped on...
