		<title>Downtown Palm Springs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I drove out to the Desert to hide out and focus more deeply on my work away from phones and such. For five whole days I was pretty much  unplugged. I stayed out in Rancho Mirage but 0ne evening wandered around downtontown Palm Springs itself.  It&#8217;s not very big and doesn&#8217;t take long to see from one end to the other, but there are more than enough bars and restaurants to keep busy for an evening.  And while architecturally indistinct, it is beautifully set  close by the San ...]]></description>

		<title>Midnight at Montjuic</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Out last night in Barcelona, and our last night in Spain after three whole weeks.  And what better place to spend it than that musical happening, the Magic Fountain of Montjuic, the Mount of the Jews. I&#8217;m not sure what any of us was thinking, they might have known more than we discussed.  But I was totally unprepared for the 100,000 or so people thronging the streets in the park.  As you can see from the top picture, the whole experience had a sort of pagan feel to it. Very ...]]></description>

		<title>Omaha</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent a few days in Omaha during the week between Christmas and New Year&#8217;s. San Diego was sunny when I left. Omaha?  Bleak. Really, I didn&#8217;t go for the weather and it&#8217;s a good thing. That said, I grew up in the bleakness of the North East and attended college in Buffalo. Part of me felt very much at home.  I even slipped on ice and fell hard on my butt. Fairly embarrassed, I looked around and saw no one. Coast clear.
Weather aside, I enjoyed the place more than ...]]></description>

		<title>London, City of Towers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a reason they call London the &#8220;City of Towers.&#8221;  Wait. They don&#8217;t call it that, but they should, as this photo shows. This view is from the top floor restaurant in the National Portrait Gallery in Trafalgar Square. It&#8217;s called &#8220;The Portrait,&#8221; and was a nice place for a late lunch with a very old friend. (She&#8217;s not very old, we just met a long time ago.)  The three towers are all part of the Houses of Parliament, including one you&#8217;ll recognize, Big Ben.

		<title>Ski Dubai</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hope I&#8217;m not insulting anyone when I say that Dubai is not among the most photogenic of places.  But still, at least a token of my lovely visit should be included and I have just the image for a post.  Where else do they have the world&#8217;s largest indoor ski slope?  Ski Dubai, of course, located in and perhaps the star attraction of the magnificent Mall of the Emirates. You have to admit, it&#8217;s pretty weird, especially considering the outdoor temperature is a balmy 105 Fahrenheit. Now consider this: ...]]></description>

		<title>Kings Highway Subway Stop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This IS Brooklyn the way it used be. Gentrification hasn&#8217;t reached this far south, and the Kings Highway subway stop is much as I remember it. Just a bit more rundown.

I grew up around here and the Kings Highway stop was one end of my personal wormhole to Manhattan. How did I end up here? Ken Whelan picked me up at JFK and insisted on breakfast at a local diner instead of some chichi place in Soho.
Glad we did. This was my first visit to Flatbush since 1993 when my ...]]></description>

		<title>Site Specific</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Vienna, like any great metropolis, is full of surprises. Walking in the art district after dinner this evening we stumbled upon &#8220;Site Specific.&#8221; Inside an opening was in full swing.  The art was what I&#8217;d have to call conceptual, in the &#8220;naked-man&#8221; style.  A little Vito Aconcci-esque, if that still applies.  The artist WAS in residence and he WAS naked. I didn&#8217;t look too closely.

		<title>Saint Mozart of Salzburg</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in September I had the pleasure of spending a few days in Vienna with my friend and client Igor Draškovic. Wandering aimlessly searching for good cafes in which to hold our meetings, we saw lots of statues. You&#8217;ve got to love a city that venerates Mozart along with the more traditional saints.

		<title>Outdoor Cafe Paradise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After years and years of travel, I have come to realize that one of my favorite things in life is people watching. So sitting at an outdoor cafe like this one, as long as it has foot traffic, is heaven. This one is just steps from the Jaume 1 metro stop, into Placa del Angels, on the edge of the Barri Gothic in Barcelona. Got that?
I&#8217;m not that opinionated about the specifics of the traffic, just that there&#8217;s a parade of people and this particular one is at the crossroads ...]]></description>

		<title>Tibidado Amusement Park</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spent the better part of six hours in this turn-of-the-last-century amusement park on the highest peak overlooking Barcelona.  Beautiful place filled with antique rides cheek-by-jowl with a state-of-the-art roller coaster.  I think my kids went on six times.
Took trains, automobiles, trams, and a 100-year-old funicular to get here and it was worth it. More tomorrow&#8230;
Got to take a moment and give Kate credit for copy-editing these blog entries. As you may know, a dyslexic childhood has left me devoid of any spelling or editing skills, and she has ...]]></description>
