When Keri went to Alaska, she was very excited to spot a beluga whale in the sound.  But people in Toulouse, France are spotting a beluga in the sky. Behold, the Airbus 300:-600ST:   This oddly-shaped (and yet, adorable) plane is how other plane parts get to fly around. According …

Plated Review I’ve mentioned before that I try to find ways to cook in between my frequent work travels.  I use Amazon.com to keep my non-perishables stocked (and I usually order from the airport!)  And I’ve been using Hello Fresh lately to get ready-to-cook meals delivered to my house. I …

On a surreal note, a small plane made an emergency landing on the Major Deegan Expressway yesterday, right at the exit my mom was going to pick me up at just a couple of hours later! The plane lost power while returning to Connecticut.  After a request to emergency-land at …
