Infrequent Flier: Stories about Art, Beer, Life, Travel, Family, the Universe, Heroes, Doctor Who, and Everything Else

Travel with me through space and time at the speed of sound. Sounds fast, isn't, really. Plenty of time to think about all kinds of stuff. Welcome aboard my spaceship, such as it is. Yes, it's smaller on the outside.The inside is infinite and filled with stories.Part memoir, part travelogue, part history, part cultural commentary, part art appreciation, all fun Just as there is more to Holland than Amsterdam, there is more to art than what you know, or like, and more to any of us than meets the eye. .The destination is always fun but the adventure lies in the journey. From Mahler to Metallica, from Montana to Maastricht, from Shostakovich to Scheveningen, from van Gogh to Vonnegut, from Sir Winston to Doctor Who-join me on a trek across space, time, history and art. These are reflections and true stories (and some made up tales for spice) from what I know. They include"In Defense of Harry Potter," "Ambush," "42," "Liberty Park," "I Had to Be Fifty, " "Timey Whimey," "Best Westerns," "The Naked Lady," and dozens more.Explore with me, casually but honestly, a museum here, a battleground there, a song in the back of your mind, a film you cannot forget, the story of a hero or two, portraits of places that ring with poetry, and perfect days in abundance-all considered on long flights seven miles high. A perfect companion for the bathroom, the airplane, and the airplane bathroom
