We've got fuel prices coming down and good travel numbers coming out, so it's not surprising airline stocks are going up.

By the time you travel somewhere pay for a hotel pay the entry costs, it's thousands of dollars just to go for a weekend to compete.

As is often the case when I travel, my vulnerability -- like not knowing what the hell I'm going to do upon arrival -- makes me more open to outside interactions than I might be when I'm at home and think I know best what needs to be done. On the road, serendipity is given space to enter my life.

When I first started talking about gay marriage, most people in the gay community looked at me as if I was insane or possibly a fascist reactionary.

Although I never publicly defended promiscuity, I never publicly attacked it. I attempted to avoid the subject, in part because I felt, and often still feel, unable to live up to the ideals I really hold.

I purge compulsively. I'm constantly shedding things.
