A few years ago I went to North Korea to write about the country's first, best, and only luxury ski resort, a story that made it into Best American Travel Writing. Before I hit the slopes, though, I spent a few days in and around Pyongyang visiting the sites we foreigners are allowed to visit, … Continue reading Miss Rhee and me

My heart skipped a beat when I saw this cream puff purr through a roundabout #inbend yesterday. This is a 1963 Corvair convertible, a car inextricably linked to my childhood and family roots. Chevrolet only made them like this for a few years in the early 1960s. By 1965 the lines had changed from this classic look to a more modern, streamlined take, and it wasn’t anywhere near as eye catching, IMHO. My father brought his firstborn (me) home from the hospital in a cherry red 1964 Corvair convertible. He brought my brother home from the hospital in it too. His first car (I think) was a 1962 Corvair. My first car was a white 1964 Corvair convertible. I can’t remember how many times my mother took me to school in her silver 1963 Corvair convertible. My uncle’s blue ‘63 Corvair convertible still runs, as does my father’s. Mine sits shamefully locked away in a chicken coop in rural Maryland. If the last thought I ever have is of riding in one of these with my own daughter beside me, I will die a very happy man. .

Welp, if you’re going to settle for second, it helps to do it behind this guy. Thrilled to be among such esteemed company — @aaron_teasdale, @aarongulley, Tim Cahill — and to hopefully send a little love to the wonderful people of northern Iraq.

We hiked up a rickety ladder yesterday to reach the top of a promontory. There, we saw this: the Katshki Pillar, a 10th century monastery, in Imereti, Georgia. I can’t imagine what it took to build this—or how in the hell you’d order Domino’s. @glpfilms .
