Well I got in to Toronto yesterday morning (5:30 am!) and one of my friends insisted that I stay with him and his wife (it wasn’t hard to convince me). It is so much nicer than sitting at a hostel. Usually I love hostels, but I think the morning would...

So I arrived in Vegas safe and sound. If you’re ever in the Denver Airport and looking for something to eat, there are a couple of options available. I was really excited to see Denver airport options listed on the PCRM (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine) website, but then when...

In a couple of days, I’m heading off to Las Vegas for a nerd conference. I’ve been there once before (for different reasons), and it was an experience to remember. As with most trips, I’m starting a list of things to check out, and hopefully, by being there for a...
