Paris

Paris: The Heist

Leave a Comment / Blog, The Adventures of Adi and David, Travel / By /

Listen on Spotify (The following is an excerpt from my book We’ll Always Have Paris) “My phone is missing!” Adi said as we exited Notre Dame. We were now officially into hour two of knowing each other, and Adi had become the victim of a time-honored tradition when visiting Paris.  She was pickpocketed—faster, maybe, than anyone in the history of modern civilization. “Are you sure?” I asked, trying to remain calm. “I just had it back at Notre Dame.  I know I had it because I sent a text to my sister telling her that I had arrived.  It was […]

Bluebonnets: A Texas Springtime Adventure Spring is in the air and with it comes the wonder of Texas wildflowers.  It’s become somewhat of a rite in passage in Texas to take a Sunday drive through the country roads to drink in the majesty of the myriad of colors that paint the landscape of ranches and remote, endless swaths of land that lay pretty much untouched on the outskirts of the major cities.  Adi and I decided to take our annual drive twice this weekend in celebration of her birthday, which happens every April 14. Both of us have felt old

The following is an excerpt from my new book, Memoirs of a Renaissance Man (available of Amazon) Arch Nemesis, Shorty Carter   In the evening, Adi and I left for a quick errand; it was already dark outside, and the night was coming to an end.  As we got in the car, I mentioned to Adi that the eclipse seemed to pass without anything unwelcoming coming into our life (eclipses are known to bring seismic changes, some undesirable). As we drove down the driveway toward the main road, Cannon Drive (named after Adi’s grandmother’s family), we saw two eyes glowing

Bitter Enemies: The Return of Shorty Carter

2 Comments / Blog, The Adventures of Adi and David / By /

I have a confession to make; I’m not necessarily proud of this, but as they say, all’s fair in love and war.  This is a tale with heroes and villains, depending on the individual perspective, but no matter the point of view—this was a war—make no mistake about it.  Sometimes war affects a man’s psyche in ways that cause him to behave entirely out of character.  This was certainly the case with me.  I may be getting ahead of myself, so I’ll try to start as close to the beginning of this tale as possible. Adi and I moved to
