Tomorrow I celebrate my 40th birthday. Certainly an occasion for celebrating. It will be a holiday weekend, and I’ll be returning to my hometown to spend time with my family. Sound like something anyone hitting a milestone birthday would do. But for me it is particularly momentous. Because I am a Red Hat Survivor. I […]
First Post From The Antipodes
I am in the guest room of Traveler Nell’s parents house in a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Wide awake at 4:00AM, I’ve been up for the since 12:30 AM (after sleeping 4½ hours.

The Longest Time In 24 Years.
Today when I left work I started what will be the longest time without reporting to work I have had since I was a Junior at high school. Ever since I was 16 and working at Wendy’s I have not been without a job for any extended time period. I left Wendy’s for the K-mart. […]
Bill’s Tough Road to Hoe.
This week I officially started my 2010 Start! Heart Walk Fund-raising. In less than a week I have already raised over $1,250. The people who started me off with their donations have my eternal thanks but I have a long way to go to reach my goal of $25,000. Yes, that is accurate…Twenty Five Grand. […]
Another Heart Walk in the Books
This past May 20th I participated in my second Wall Street Heart Run and Heart Walk and I am proud to say that I met (or nearly met) all my goals. The fund raising was stronger than expected (more on that later) and the walk was a success. Whenever I do participate in a 5K […]

Edi-Bills Revisited: Wand’rin Will at The Trailer Park
When digging through the Travel’Erchives for Wilstafa’s review of La Tour d’Argent I came across the review my identical cousin Wand’rin Will “wrote” for The Original Trailer Park Lounge and Grill back in ’05. After you’ve read the review please consider sponsoring Team Traveler Bill in the American Heart Associations 2009 Wall Street Walk and […]
Edi-Bills Revisited: Wistafa en Paris – La Tour d’Argent
While even I admit that posting old reviews that previously appeared on Traveler Bill (dot) com is sketchy at best, it is a sure fire method to generate a decent sized entry and isn’t that what this is all about? Well I recently had a request to post Wilstafa’s Review of the venerable Paris landmark […]
Edi-Bills Revisited: Da Ciro
In a very dodgy attempt to get ahead of the curve on my 12 reviews in 12 months pledge I have taken to posting reviews that appeared on the origianl iteration of Traveler Bill.com. To that end I am posting my review of Da Ciro from November of ’05. While cursing my sloth, remember that […]
