We Didn’t Win
For those of you who can’t get enough of things my mom says, I had her play Game Time for the latest episode of Extra Hot Great, as I transcribed her answers. It was a maddeningly difficult Game Time where you listen to 21 clips of fictional languages from film and tv and have to…

Mother on the Orient Express: Part Five (The Train)
We only had one night on the Orient Express. You could go longer. You could start in Rome and have two nights on the train (and if I could do this again, and had much more money, this would be it.)

Mother on the Orient Express: Part Four (Venice)
Before I continue, I need to take a moment to compliment every single person who works for the brand that is Orient Express.

Don’t Let Mom Down!
This can’t be too long of a post, because I still have to pack and call a cab for the morning and other to-do list things before I leave for Atlanta at the crack of dawn (Happy birthday, Chris Huff!!), which means I don’t get to write about the fact that I’m about to meet…
