How it started; how it’s going

Posted on March 2, 2025December 27, 2024 by Elle

I was 8 the first time I escaped the US. Some family members and I traveled to New York for a wedding. At this point in time, I remember exactly nothing about the wedding, but I do remember how I pestered my dad to go to Canada. This was pre-2001 where adults only needed a…

Flashback to the Valentine’s snow of 2014. As a SC native, I didn’t have very many snow days as a kid so I more than willing took the opportunity to be the adult playing with the neighborhood kids and do sled races down the golf course hills. I beat the pants of these little ones…

The four nations hockey tournament has engulfed me this week–especially the USA/Canada match today. Because what the hell–who starts  three fights in the first 9 seconds of the match. The USA won, clinching a spot in the finals on February 20–potentially a rematch against Canada. This is way better than any all-star game the NHL…

Jimmy Carter died, aged 100. Georgia is (relatively) close and I’ve been to the Carter Center a handful of times, both during school trips and on my own. I’m not an overly political person, but Jimmy was my favorite president.

Blast from the past

Welcome to On Sunday Morning. I’m the voice behind the blog and the person behind the camera. I’m an eager explorer, wannabe writer, capable chef, creative conversationalist, aging athlete, and proficient photographer. Queer in its original meaning is an apt adjective to describe me. I even have a day job working in healthcare. Social media is making us sad; let’s go for a walk somewhere together or trade tales around a campfire.

"I'm a big believer in winging it. I'm a big believer that you're never going to find perfect city travel experience or the perfect meal without a constant willingness to experience a bad one. Letting the happy accident happen is what a lot of vacation itineraries miss, I think, and I'm always trying to push people to allow those things to happen rather than stick to some rigid itinerary."
