Last Night in Kalibo
David and Steve are nearing the end of their journey. Listen to their thoughts as they are preparing to leave Kalibo and the provinces and return to Manila for their final days in the Philippines!
Halfway Through – Podcast
David and Steve have reached the halfway point in their journey through the Philippines. They take stock on the trip so far and their thoughts on the people and the country so far.
Waxing poetic…
Many of my female friends have told me…come to think of it all my male friends as well, that I have the ugliest back and shoulder hair on the planet. I never gave it much thought. Yeah, it’s unsightly, but I can’t reach my back and I didn’t want to go through the pain and cost of having it done. Fast forward to yesterday.
Bizarre Foods
The IntelleXual on the Road is in the Philippines! David and Steve are on the journey of a lifetime as David visits his family in the Philippines for the first time in 30 years and Steve takes his first ever trip outside of the confines of the continental US. In this episode the boys try a bunch of Filipino foods they wouldn’t have tried at home!
Balut, Sweat and Tears!
So far 2014 has become the year of firsts for me. First time getting a passport. First time traveling outside the country. First time going through customs, the first time setting foot on foreign soil, first time getting a mani-pedi, (clear polish if you were going to ask) And, first time eating balut.
Bakit Why? Balut?
David and Steve are truly global podcasters now. Their premiere episode of The IntelleXual On The Road has them discussing flying on the Hello Kitty plane, their first day in the Philippines and Steve’s adventuresome spirit leading him to downing a balut. It’s a very yummy podcast from the other side of the Pacific!
24 Hours to Go…
In my 48 years I have traveled to different parts of the United States. Most recently, to Florida for a wedding of two friends from high school. A first for me. I had never been to Florida, but I have never left the country nor have I ever needed to get a passport. Another first.
Birds and Blood Sugar in the Bay Area
This past week I had taken my brother and my father to San Francisco for a couple of days to visit with my aunts. I say my aunts because I consider my aunt Elaine’s partner, Rhoberta of approximately 40 years, as family.
Silly Old Ant
What makes a person funny? Is it the way they tell a story? Their intelligence? Can people be taught to be funny? My answer is no. I have known very funny people in my life and there are some people who are just not funny, period.
12 Down 76 to Go
As many of you may or may not know, I have been trying, for quite some time now, to become a writer for television. I have written a couple of spec scripts for the CBS comedy, The Big Bang Theory.
