2011, in your face
Posted December 31st, 2011 at 5:53 pm
Maybe it was because I stayed home with my kids for so many years that I always dreamed of having a job that would allow me to travel for work.
This year, I learned the meaning of the phrase, “be careful what you wish for.”
I took a freelance job with Busy Dad that had me on the road at least once every month in 2011. Over the course of 12 months, I got really super good at going through airport security, knocked a few items of the ol’ life list, and ate some amazing food. My twelve most memorable meals of 2011 are after the jump.
In February, I spent three weeks in LA training a bunch of doctors and social workers on a software program. My hotel was 3/4 of a block from the best dessert place in America, Perfectly Sweet.
Not at all unrelated aside: I gained 1,372 pounds in February.

[...] They also shouldn’t look like you buried them in the ground and forgot about them for a few weeks. While I was in China last fall, they offered me a tea egg, which is just a hard boiled egg steeped in soy sauce and black tea leaves, which is harmless enough except that it is a brown egg, and I took enough ServSafe courses in my day to know that you never, ever eat the brown egg. (Note: watching someone eat a brown egg is almost as horrible as watching that same someone eat fetal chickens on that same trip.) [...]

BusyDad commented on Jan 01 12 at 1:27 pmThat was the best round up of roundups ever written in the civilized world. Also, your New York drinking with communists one reminded me that I found something in my jacket pocket the next day.
