More on the new buses

Monday, August 14th, 2006

I wrote about Megabus’s US service a few months ago. NBC News ran a story about it tonight.

Good news Toledo, you’re being served this fall. OK, not so much about theology, but better these days than short-haul flying. Better than the Greyhound we know and don’t-love, and which degrades the popular appreciation of motorcoaches for […]

Portly and portage

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

I’m getting pretty chunky, which is a wound to my pride and health and — oddly enough — travel sensibility. I like to travel light. I can spend a week about anywhere (if I’m not preaching) with a small carry-on and a modestly packed laptop case. (With no lap-top.) Hardly revolutionary, but a developed skill […]

A cheap way to GA, from Chicago anyway

Saturday, April 15th, 2006

Despite some grave problems I had with Greyhound recently — no, because of them — I was looking around for alternate long-distance bus services. And dang if the UK based Megabus didn’t start US service a few days ago. In the Midwest only, I’m afraid, and hubbed out of Chicago. There might be some good […]

“California Pilgrimage” of 1915

Saturday, July 9th, 2005

There’s been some talk of pilgrimages on the Unitarian Universalist Historical Society mailing list, and a book was mentioned. Since I own a copy, and since there are some odd parallels to today, I thought I’d mention it. It covers events in July 1915, so almost exactly ninety years ago.

Frederick A. Bisbee’s A California Pilgrimage […]

Back from New York

Monday, February 28th, 2005

Well, Hubby and I are back from New York — and in my zeal to delete poker spam, I deleted six legitimate comments forever.

Including a kind offer to reveal the secret of the Fourth Universalist mosaic. (Do tell again Jeff, if you like.)

Won’t likely be blogging much because I’ll be on Day Trip business travel […]

BITB in New York

Saturday, February 26th, 2005

Sorry gang if you’ve been wondering where I’ve been: Hubby and I are in New York.

Yesterday, we had a lovely day with PeaceBang, one of her friends, and another colleague I’ll call RDA. We saw dropped by Fourth Universalist Church, saw the Gates, and had a yummy Italian lunch.

More details and photos — including the […]

Another Chinatown bus

Friday, September 24th, 2004

Well, in place of come actual Universalist theology, how about another cheap way to get from Washington to New York?

Another so-called Chinatown bus, and one more helpful for Virginian suburbanites:
