Jenelle and I are expecting our first child next February. In July we found out our baby Joey was diagnosed with a severe Neural Tube Defect and is not expected to live more than a day. To celebrate her all too brief life Jenelle and I are making a list of experiences she would have […]
A couple months ago my terrific In-Laws picked up this nifty vintage Hudson Valley commemorative “post-card” from the Brooklyn Flea around the corner. The illustrations inside were pleading to be framed. The problem was that the pictures were 3½ X 5½, a little small for a decent frame. Traveler Nell, undaunted, found a discount framer […]
For those of you that aren’t fortunate enough to spend a great deal of time in the World Financial Center like I am, you may not be aware of “Canstruction NYC.” They are, according to their website… a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that holds annual design and build competitions to construct fantastic, giant sized, structures […]
One day I was walking to the Whitehall MTA Station and I thought I saw a turkey in Battery Park. Little did I know that it was Zelda the Turkey a well known denizen of the park. I can confirm that Zelda made it through Superstorm Sandy. The photos below predate the storm but I […]
Nobody, and I mean nobody loves “Drama” more than my beloved Traveler Nell. And by drama I mean something that involved Flashing Lights and the occasional Siren.

Additionally she is taking on the additional roles of Head Librarian and Chief (Travel)Er-chivist. In addition to bringing the original TravelerBill.com into working order, Miss Dundee-Read has managed […]
Just a scant few hours left until I go in for the valve replacement. I went to the hospital for my pre-op tests. I got a rather dry DVD explaining what I can expect from the whole process. To be honest I got pretty much everything from the pamphlet they sent me last week. But […]
My apologies are extended wholeheartedly to all the fans of Traveler Bill Industries regarding the lack of updates on the Official Bill-og. In particular, T.B.I.L.-Acolyte 3rd Class “The Hud.” “The Hud” was bemoaning the dearth in a comment to the last entry. Well daub away your tears “The Hud’, a brand new entry appears at […]
It was a beautiful day today in New York City, so I put on the shock wig and phony beard and set out to be among the little people. Stopping to lunch at a local restaurant with a sidewalk cafe, I opted to dine alfresco. Shortly thereafter a group of three college-aged kids came and […]
