Travelblog...risen from the dead! Even though it's Christmas (and not Easter), it's never too early for a good resurrection. I hope that this entry finds all of you very well wherever you may be. I know that all of you have been waiting with baited breath for another travelblog update. Some of you have even called me and asked, "Hey, I am busy raising twins and a toddler, but in my one single free-minute of each day I check your blog hoping to see some sign of life. What gives!?"

You have a life. So, consider this ... read more

So it’s been too long since the last blog update but there’s good reason. I left the “comfort” on Cambodia about a week ago as I was called back by the Bangkok bureau to cover an event that they couldn’t get to. Cambodia -- after my initial enjoyment of the country - turned south in a hurry. The novelty of living in the third-world quickly becomes a reality. Walking to work and experiencing desperate poverty is not something that starts anyone’s day off right. And the country’s mores became very annoying. I would be sent out on a story and not be able to find the address because in Phnom Penh they don’t have any sort of uniform address arrangement. It seems that you basically just pick your number. I would try to call government officials ... read more
