Crest Trail #25 ~ 10-5-2011

Crest Trail #25 - the only other trail I had hiked before. :) It's a wonderful hike. The entire trail is over 25 miles long...we didn't do that whole thing, nor would I. Jim (friend,Tai Chi sifu - remember him)... Continue reading

Back to Blogging....yes, I think I remember how.

Yes, our dog took all my attention for awhile...QUITE a while. Still does, really. But I'm also into Balance in my Life, right? You've heard me say so; I'm sure of it. Lately there has not been as much as... Continue reading

I have a dog, now.

I am a very far distance away from being the person my dog thinks I am. Yes, I know it's a cliche'...and it's still the best words I can think of, too. I found this in this blog post at... Continue reading

Introverts Unite!

Tongue-in-cheek, of course. I usually mean, 'please leave me alone'. But Susan Cain, in this TED video, has a few enlightening things to say about introverts, and some suggestions about how we can best contribute, and best be supported within... Continue reading

A Pretty Nice Thanksgiving...

We were eight for dinner yesterday. I didn't think to take the 'after' picture, or the buffet spreads... should have. And my picture of the turkey is no good; I hope Carol's is better. If so, I'll post it. It... Continue reading

The end of something ~ Dad's passing ~ 11-16-12

Last Friday was his last day. I still don't know what to say about it. Besides Joel, only Nancy knows, so far. And I'm not really sure why I'm keeping it so much to myself. Can't really be all that... Continue reading

Proof of Heaven...?

Being me, I have a little trouble approaching spiritual subjects in language that feels exclusive to only one religion. Heaven, for example, is not the word I'd have chosen in this title... but Dr. Eben Alexander's experience, as related in... Continue reading

I am saddened by the amount of energy we Americans spend to detract and tear down each other - in whatever 'cause' - whether it be performance-enhancing drugs or matters of where a man was born...even in the face of... Continue reading

Cape Cod ~ The Wedding

I feel like there should be a photo of me here, wiggling my eyebrows up & down like Groucho did... It hardly seems real, even now. I look at the photos and know I was there, but during that whole... Continue reading

Cape Cod ~ The Fashion Show

Monday night, the 23rd; the day we applied for The License! So what were we looking for...? And were we sipping wine? Why yes! We were! But I've got to tell you, dropping about 45 lbs makes a BIG difference... Continue reading

Cape Cod Adendum

The cheese whose name I don't want to forget is Taleggio. Jane says it's stinky, but I thought not-so-much. It IS wonderful, however, so I'm hoping I can find it at TJ's on the way home. If not, there is... Continue reading

Cape Cod Catch-up #6

Some of you have asked about the storms that came thru Boston and the northeast. All we got of the storms was a brief rain and some wind. Funny, in fact. Jane and I were running around in the rain,... Continue reading

Cape Cod Catch-up #4 Bearly on the Beach

This is another multi-day catch-up...it's not that we're doing all that much; it's just that the computer loses out to so many more pleasant things. :) This is about 2 minutes of Bearly's first day of real exploring on the... Continue reading
