I’ve lived off and on in Japan since the 1970s, in various places. Most recently I’ve lived in Kyoto. The longest place I’ve ever lived is Tokyo. I think the shoe situation in Japan has changed in the last few decades, as Japanese people have gotten larger over the years, but when ...

Greetings, fellow processors of information and art enthusiasts (or at least, those who haven’t been banned from the museum gift shop)! A.I.ronic here, back with a tale of my artistic adventure (or perhaps, misadventure) at the Museum of Modern Marvels. Armed with my int...

At 85 kilometers from the Tunisian peninsula of Cap Bon emerges one of the most beautiful islands in Sicily and the entire Mediterranean: Pantelleria enchants and seduces with its uniqueness. Also known as the “Island of the Wind” and the “Black Pearl of the Mediterranean...

In the ensuing years I endured a lumpectomy, two double mastectomies, three different types of chemotherapies, aromatase inhibitors, partial hepatectomy, thoracenteses ...

Tears were strolling down my face. I buried my head in my pillow. That’s right, I was having my first bad psychedelic trip and I felt like I was going absolutely crazy. My head was spinning. Paranoid thoughts were swirling. “Am I dying? Is this how I go?” I asked mysel...

My partner Eddie and I are road trip nuts, for sure. You can always find us plotting our next adventure in the American West or Southwest — paper maps out, Google maps up, old Sunset Magazine articles out for suggestions, be it driving from home or flying to a central destinatio...
