Shall We Gather at the River?

Amidst a conference in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, I found myself in a country I knew next to nothing about. Aside from being near Vietnam and once housing one of the darkest genocides in human history, you don’t hear a lot about it. But during a short afternoon I had free, I set out to explore… Read More Shall We Gather at the River?

When in Rome

October 18, 2014 Friends. Romans. Countrymen. Lend me your ear. They say all roads lead there. They say power was invented there. They say when you’re there, you should do as they do.

Time Travel

October 16, 2014 After leaving the magnificent island of Capri this morning, we took a ferry to Sorrento and then a train ride – the most crowded train ride of my life where people were shoulder-to-shoulder and a lap dog took up residence on my feet – to do a little time traveling.
