Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot

Travel. Food. Fun.

Wonderful Discovery on ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’ (Akron, actually)

By

Not too long ago, I saw an ad for a Brit Floyd concert in Cleveland. I had never heard of Brit Floyd, but I figured it was a Pink Floyd Tribute band. I love live music, and I like Pink Floyd, so I put out a call on Facebook to see if any of my friends might want to go the show and feel that warm thrill of confusion, that space cadet glow. I had no takers, so I didn't go. Little did I know then I would go to an Australian Pink Floyd Show concert in Akron. While I never heard of Brit Floyd, … [Read more...]

My wife Wendi's blog has built a reputation on three things (in my humble opinion): Packing a lot of fun things to do in a short amount of time (Wendi's Weekend Trips); writing about neat places to eat (&); whatever captures her fancy (Whatnot). While the blog has only been around for a year, the concept dates back a number of years. Even before we lived on the outskirts of the Amish Heartland, we took weekend trips there. When we would visit my family in Boston, we would take one and … [Read more...]

Wendi’s Weekend Trips & Whatnot Gearing Up for 1st Anniversary

By

This month marks the one-year anniversary of my wife's blog, Wendi's Weekend Trips & Whatnot. It is a remarkable achievement when you realize she does this for fun as a creative outlet for her love of writing and holds down a full-time job dealing with performance, compliance and quality improvement for a very successful and impactful nonprofit agency in Wooster, Ohio. To say I am proud of what my wife, Wendi Warren, has achieved would be an understatement. Many writers deal with … [Read more...]
