Spent 36 hours traveling home and got a bonus of running into the lovely @strangela.bsky.social and sweet @shariqsiddiqui.bsky.social at the STL airport!

My souvenir from Bangkok is a hand poke tattoo

St Regis Bangkok

Doing something cool!

This morning’s breakfast finds in the neighborhood!

If you need me, I’ll be over here trying to emotionally recover from the tasting menu at Paste Bangkok. A Michelin star, flavor bombs all night, and a female chef serving pure culinary excellence. I’m obsessed.

Szechuan minced pork and green beans with the best frozen Thai tea

Post massage cookies and tea!

Breakfast from a couple vendors outside my place. The sweet potato donuts are my favorite, plus an egg crepe and sausage crepe and a fancy latte

Back in Bangkok, Nobu for dinner

Table side Tina tartare is the new table side guac

Chicken tendies by the pool and a fry thief

Villa life in Phuket

We have arrived to our beach resort (which is one of the White Lotus filming locations.)

Bangkok Flower Market

Learned to fold lotus flowers at the Flower Market

Chinatown Bangkok for dinner

Today’s food at the market

Boating and floating market adventures

No turkey this Thanksgiving. Instead we are having caviar, duck spring rolls, and wasabi prawns

Day to night views in Thailand

Keeping the Thanksgiving tradition alive, even in Bangkok

Christmas market in Bangkok

Good morning from Bangkok

24 hours of flying and we are here - Bangkok, Thailand

My home for the next 15 hours

Second leg of the adventure

First leg of my adventure begins (STL > MSP)

Went to see Wicked with my bestie today.

I thought it was a joke but nope, there really are 10 speed bumps on the Compton Bridge.

Girls night with Indy at Peacemaker

I am one week out from a big adventure and right now I am panic-washing new underwear because god forbid I don’t pack 30 pairs for a 10 day trip

Breakfast at Grand Pied this morning! Such a lovely place! And the fries/potato wedges are the best!

The cathole approved the new back room setup

When the secret key bar hosts a Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald party you gotta go!

My drive to work took two full plays of Gordon Lightfoot’s Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. (Fifty years ago today…)

Soup Sunday at at my neighbors, @thecivillife.bsky.social

Dinner last night at Milano Kebab. Just a note, this place is best for takeout or delivery.

Coffee talk

Business travel means room service and binging 48 Hours

Happy November from Goose Willis

Halloween 2025

Happy Halloween from the Witch with a B.

Spooky ball tonight!

Five years ago I got 3 week old Eleanor this Hocus Pocus outfit for her first Spooky Pepper dinner party. Tonight her sister Indy is rocking it!

Weeks of work, cursing, ripping apart an entire sleeve, and total determination to finish this son of a bitch - I completer my first wearable crochet project. This was a good first attempt, and next time I will take the time (and math) to get the buttons spaced right…maybe.

Rainy Saturday night Lego time!

Today is my mom’s birthday. This is 6th year I haven’t been able to call her and sing happy birthday, but it is also the 6th year that I continue to celebrate her. So it’s time to put on Chicago’s Greatest Hits and drink sweet wine and have a good time!

The Cathole’s best friend is here

Okay so the old KDHX/88.1 is now a station called Jams and they played a club remix of Leanne Rimes Can’t Fight The Moonlight from the Coyote Ugly soundtrack. And…I liked it.
