Q. Tell us about yourself, how you joined the Museum Of Bad Art, and what you love most about working with the volunteers? I am a native Bostonian, retired from a career as a consultant to small businesses.

A Night in Florida to Remember, But for All the Wrong Reasons
I was super excited; I was flying back to Florida from Medellin, my first time in the U.S. in nearly 3 months. I had booked my hotel several weeks before, remembering the sticker shock of the price for one night, as compared to the cheap living I had experienced in Colombia.

The Noisiest Place I’ve Ever Stayed At
In choosing the title for this post, one would think the noisiest place I ever stayed at would be in a city somewhere, with a room above a nightclub or in a part of town featuring endless partying.
