The Bader Chronicles: May 2008
http://baderchronicles.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 5, 2008. New York Minutes, Vol. 4: ow. I’m a bit achy today. This past weekend I went to my undergrad alma mater to celebrate fifty years of (men’s) rugby at the college. I’d planned to skip around the field for a few minutes in order to have participated in the women’s alumni game, but there were few substitutes so I ended up playing most of the game in the depths of the scrum. On a more adult note, the sixth month of married life is going swimmingly, thank you very much. (Not least beca...

The Manhattan Transfer: A Maximum High
http://themanhattantransfer.blogspot.com/2007/09/maximum-high.html
Rants, raves, reviews, revulsions. Experiences of an Englishman in New York. Saturday, September 15, 2007. For the "long" flight from London to Las. Vegas we decided to splash out on a slightly better class of cabin. It turned out that the business-only carrier MaxJet. Was opening up precisely that route the day before we wanted to travel, so we took the plunge and forked out the small fortune for the tickets. The food and wine were good. The service was great - friendly and attentive. Ill Wear It Proudly.

The Manhattan Transfer: Ain't Going To Goa
http://themanhattantransfer.blogspot.com/2007/08/aint-going-to-goa.html
Rants, raves, reviews, revulsions. Experiences of an Englishman in New York. Thursday, August 23, 2007. Ain't Going To Goa. We went for a curry last night. The restaurant is a single block from our apartment and we've walked past it many times, but never gone in. As we sat down I noticed a higher than normal density of English accents amongst the patrons. It's funny how some people revert to type when they're travelling. Oh, and the food was pretty good.

The Manhattan Transfer: Street Life
http://themanhattantransfer.blogspot.com/2007/09/street-life.html
Rants, raves, reviews, revulsions. Experiences of an Englishman in New York. Sunday, September 30, 2007. For off-beat entertainment we went to the third annual New York Street Vendor Awards last night (affectionately known as " The Vendies. The set up was pretty simple. Take the top five street cart food vendors (as voted for by the public of New York), put them all in the same park, charge people an entrance fee that covers all the food and an open bar, eat, and vote.

The Manhattan Transfer: Viva Las Vegas
http://themanhattantransfer.blogspot.com/2007/09/viva-las-vegas.html
Rants, raves, reviews, revulsions. Experiences of an Englishman in New York. Wednesday, September 12, 2007. Having just returned from Las. Vegas, I'm glad to report that the town is the same town that I visited about four or five years ago. Same 24 hour city. Same slobby. Unhappy people feeding quarters into slot machines. Same free cocktails at the blackjack table. Same ironic anti-gambling posters dotted around the place. What's not to love? At least for 24 hours at a time. Ill Wear It Proudly.

The Manhattan Transfer: Guitar Man
http://themanhattantransfer.blogspot.com/2007/08/guitar-man.html
Rants, raves, reviews, revulsions. Experiences of an Englishman in New York. Sunday, August 26, 2007. Some of you may have detected a distinct "air guitar" theme in our lives. We went to the national finals in the UK last year, and to the regional finals. In New York back in June. This month it was time for the American national finals. An interesting twist this time round was that one of the judges was non other than Malcolm Gladwell. I found myself firmly rooting for the New York finalist, William Ocean.

The Manhattan Transfer: Clap Hands
http://themanhattantransfer.blogspot.com/2007/10/clap-hands.html
Rants, raves, reviews, revulsions. Experiences of an Englishman in New York. Sunday, October 07, 2007. Now that I've taken a few internal flights in the USA I've started to spot a pattern. The passengers like to reward the pilot with a round of applause for a successful landing once they bring the old bird down safely. The level of applause seems to be inversely correlated to the bumpiness of the landing. I wonder why planes are different? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). England, Half English.

The Manhattan Transfer: Leader Of The Pack
http://themanhattantransfer.blogspot.com/2007/09/leader-of-pack.html
Rants, raves, reviews, revulsions. Experiences of an Englishman in New York. Monday, September 10, 2007. Leader Of The Pack. I recently undertook a slightly aggressive travel schedule that required me to fly from New York to London to Las. Vegas to New York in the space of just nine days. The trip saw me attending the wedding of a good friend, playing. Blackjack badly, and hiking in a couple of national parks in Utah. My packing would need to be eclectic. Having decided not to take. Ill Wear It Proudly.

The Bader Chronicles: April 2009
http://baderchronicles.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2009. New York Minutes, Vol. 7: What's on my mind? My fellow Facebook addicts are familiar with the status update, the blank box on Facebook begging you to inform the world of your whereabouts, medical conditions, toddlers’ newest tricks, culinary experiments, or whatever else occurs to you. To wit:. Temporarily broke her New Year’s resolution of a no-booze January for a Brunello di Montalcino tasting, which is clearly understandable, right? Is off to Canyon Ranch spa with mom and sis.
