I like to read, learn, watch good films and series, experience live music with friends, walk and hike with our dog, fix and build stuff, discuss books with others, practice skepticism, challenge and improve my understanding of everything, camp in the mountains, travel slowly, spend time in Italia, and enjoy good food, wine, liquor, mixed drinks and craft beer.

Travel as a Political Act โ€” 2024 Elections Edition!

Enjoy our live Monday Night Travel party with this video recorded on September 23, 2024. If you know Rick Steves, you know his favorite souvenir is a global perspective and his favorite talk โ€” which he gives across our beautiful country, from sea to shining sea โ€” is called "Travel as a Political Act." In this provocative hour โ€” tailored for our Monday Night Travel family to fit our current political season โ€” Rick shares insights from his travels in Europe, Central America, Asia, and the Middle East. With plenty of photographs, he'll illustrate how, when Americans incorporate lessons learned on the road into how they vote, they can help create a more just, sustainable, and stable world โ€” and why that is a smart and pragmatic attitude for citizens across the political spectrum as they vote in 2024.

Hundreds of Durham teachers, school staff stage 'sick-out' and rally against revoked raises

The Durham Association of Educators says at least 75% of school employees at 12 Durham public schools called out of work Wednesday to protest recent cuts to raises for classified staff. Educators gathered at the Minnie Forte-Brown Staff Development Center on Hillandale Road in Durham on Wednesday morning to protest.
