I am back home after a week in Tampa at my new company’s headquarters. As you saw in yesterday’s post, I was eating $23 entrees while I was away. Tonight’s dinner is shown above. Per diem is nice but per mi casa is better . . .

This is what I had for dinner tonight. Flounder stuffed with crab meat. Since my flight lands in Philly tomorrow around 5 p.m., dinner will most likely be takeout on the way home. A far cry from a $26 entree. I wonder how many chicken nuggets you can get for…

I just had dinner in the hotel restaurant. I then got on the elevator to return to my room and a couple got on after me. I asked them which floor they wanted since I was closest to the buttons and they told me. I had a hard time finding…

Since I am alone in the evenings during my trip to Tampa, I ventured over to a local mall tonight to see Sex and the City 2. I am a fan of the show and the first movie and even though the critics were not kind to this latest installment,…

My new job is a combination of two great things — travel and working from home. I hit the ground running this week, or I should say I hit the Schuylkill Expressway in bumper-to-bumper traffic, and have attended two events in the last 30 hours. Tomorrow is a work at…

It’s off to work I went. I apologize Friends, but things are a little crazy these next few days. I will try to keep writing everyday but it may be at odd hours. I promise to fill you in more on my new job and the days leading up to…
