In a twist that one of my friends described as “an extremely Julie situation” I’m heading to Istanbul tomorrow. I’m in Europe so I’m actually going to drive. Any recommendations for hotels, great meals and must see sights are most welcome. How I ended up on this last minute surprise journey is a long involved […]

Day 1587 and Wellderly
My husband’s expert testimony before Congress yesterday was a particularly exciting day even by my standards. I felt so drained today. My bar for excitement was set pretty high this spring. It has so far included impromptu drives to Istanbul, seeing our right to compute bill get signed into law, watching a founder we backed […]

Day 1584 and Sunday Chores
I missed spring cleaning due to some unexpected travels. Part of that was by design, as a gnarly mold issue required mediation that we decided was best missed by my annoyingly fragile immune system. You wouldn’t think galavanting across Alexander’s Empire by car would be a reasonable way to avoid mycotoxins and you’d be right […]
Being back in America after any amount of time in Europe is always a weird transition for me. I am in Colorado for an academic conference so I’m staying in a chain hotel. Being accustomed to European systems that simply don’t work beyond a set range I turn the air conditioning on maximum before bed […]
I spent the night in a port city in Greece as I am making my way back to Western Europe. I’ll be crossing by airplane via polar routes on my way to Colorado next week for an academic conference at my home town university. I feel like I’ve made it when I am invited to […]

Day 1565 and Elephant’s Eye
I love bathing cultures of all kinds. It’s the beauty girl in me. I’ve been lucky to have worked in a number of wellness and fitness settings professionally and it’s privileged me to experiences that make one feel deeply human. The modern Korean spas are dazzling and as enjoyable to me as natural Rocky Mountain […]
The road to Constantinople is long. Whether a knight on horseback crusade bound or a bitch in an Audi, it’s a long haul to Istanbul. That’s not me flexing honest just that the rental guy sold me on the quattro as a comfortable ride for long hauls so for you cavalry types it’s the destrier […]

Day 1563 and On The Road
Life has been screaming loudly at me to pay attention to hyperbaric chamber oxygen therapy. Concurrently we are moving through a massive global economic reorganization that impacts how one plans for even local businesses like a med spa. So while we’ve purchased our first chamber before the tariffs have gone into effect, it seems reasonable […]
