Talk about shooting one's proverbial wad; three posts in one day? I know, it's crazy, but time and news wait for no man.
As you know I've been doing a bit of travel writing for UpTake. I say "a bit" because that's about all the time (and money) I have to travel.
Well today UpTake is running a post introducing yours truly (and a collection of other layabouts who are also trying to scrape together a few extra dollars by making up stuff reporting on some of their vacation adventures), so I encourage you to go check it out, and check out UpTake, and leave nice comments.
There's also an official press release, which by official means that they officially seem to have left out my name and photo. But feel free to check it out anyway.
On behalf of the layabouts, nice shot.

Ah, thank you Whit. Takes one to know one, right?

So how much do they pay? And do they score you freebies? And why don't you ever invite me to go on vacation?

At fist, I thought you were Joe Romeo, the first guy that scrolled up in the pantheon of travel writing stars. I said to myself, "Hmm . ..Joe really put on some weight. And his hair got curly. I know I've only seen him once (for 7 days), but can life really change a guy that much?" All those voices in my head were a little scary so early in the morning. Anyway, I eventually found the right guy. Congrats on "making it."

It says that your blog has 'flotsam.'
I don't know what flotsam is, but it sounds contagious.
Are you gonna take that shit sitting down?

Tony - Not enough. And you can come only if you bring your Speedo.
Lynn - Yea, I made that same mistake myself.
Moog - I've taken worse than that sitting down.
