TBA represented full speed at the Travel Bloggers Exchange Conference this weekend in Keystone, Colorado. I learned invaluable tools and tricks to this thing we all call home on the keys and I am confident my site will become easier to navigate. Some of you have asked where I was these few days and that warms my heart to know that ol' TBA may have been missed or that your annoyance levels may have subsided a bit and you just realized why. To that I offer Haiku Sunday on Monday Afternoon.

One carry-on only

and the choice was so simple

who needs clothing?

Amaro drunk on Monday

Mötley Crüe music at high volume

Hemingway proud day

beating ploughshares hard

stone and earth turned by muscle

gently resting for now

Roe, roe, roe my boat

down to Palermo town

warm long lunch and lust

Fishermen come home

to eat, sleep and copulate well

wives can't wait for them to leave

smoking kills I thought

as he asked if I wanted a cig

then he asked, "why not"?
