Moving away from focusing on commenting on plastic pumping blogs. You can follow me on Twitter for my spontaneous reactions. As I go through Feedly I will be highlighting eclectic stuff I am finding. Day job is keeping me super busy and really cutting into my travel schedule which defeats the purpose of this…Actually, I have no idea where I am going, TBB is my escape! After hearing feedback from friend and my wife it is time to tone this baby down and realign it lower in the priority list. And you, you know who you are, who keeps clicking on the the State Farm credit card link on my site, you…suck lol!

I was fascinated with Anthony Bourdain’s show about NYC. Finally exploring his hometown and finding things and food he never knew existed there.
How many of us “travel” in our own home cities? We go thousands of miles to see architecture and museums someplace else but have we ever gone to such places a mile down the road??
Eh, something to think about.
LOVE the photography that is always listed on TBB. I am humbled by the gifts this world has to offer us.
TravelBloggerBuzz says
I like to try out new restaurants in Ann Arbor all the time!
I like photography at TBB too 🙂
Scott says
Not a fan of Anthony Bourdain? What’s wrong with you? The man likes to travel, eat, and drink.
TravelBloggerBuzz says
Way too camera aware 🙂

Are you thinking what I am thinking? I think doing this to help out just kills the comment flow…and it has not helped yet this year. I think it is my target market or I have pissed off way too many readers.
Anyways, I am toning it down here…the tone and the time involved, just got too much going on in real life.
I of course appreciate the help and thanks for the supportive emails.
I wanted to rip on Lucky’s ridiculous post about how awesome the IHG Rewards Visa card is all of a sudden…but “notgonnadoit” like Dana Carvey used to say it 🙂
