I read an article in the Washington Post (WaPo to those of us who are in the know) by Vern Yip, decorator of Trading Spaces fame, about traveling. His premise is that his design ideas are refreshed, inspired even, by extensive travel. He was discussing his latest trip to Marrakesh and how colorful the souks are.
It got me to thinking about travel I have done, both abroad and in the US. Even a quick drive into Southern Virginia gives you a window on a different way of life - especially when compared with the crazy, traffic clogged world we live in here in NoVA (Northern Virginia for the uninitiated). Anyway, travel always makes my world expand and then shrink a little. Expand because I meet interesting people, see interesting things, eat interesting food. Shrink because places that were just names in a book at one time are now real and I Have Seen Them.
Have you been somewhere cool lately?

Name that Blog
The Langley Chase Bridge Club Mystery Blog
Oh, come on. Of course the Internet needs another Blog. Seriously. This one will be entertaining, informative, insightful, funny, educational and always opinionated. However, Langley Chase Bridge Club Mystery Blog is simply too many words for a Blog Name. We’ve come up with a couple of choices and would love your help. Which one do you like best? You need to be signed-in in order to vote or to post comments on the blog, so be sure to do that. This poor blog desperately needs a name!
Blog entries will be regular (say, once a week at least) beginning in December because I'm a bit busy at the moment. I do have a book to write, remember. Langley Chase Bridge Club Mystery 3, working title: Unplayable. If you come back to the blog regularly, you'll find out a little bit about what the Bridge Club Sleuths are up to in the next book.
