We first met back in 2011 when my wife and I were house hunting. There was a small house we liked that was in its own little canyon. The house wasn’t anything special but the grounds were. There was a small, year round brook, that flowed through the property. The brook had a small … Continue reading Steve

20 Years
20 years ago today. Wow! But, let’s start three days earlier… It was midafternoon on my second day of travel from home. A cold, bleary, Ohio winter day. What early January generally brings to the Midwest. I was traveling under the final underpass before my exit off I75. It was Sunday and I had to … Continue reading 20 Years
Thanksgiving
Today is a day to give thanks, for our families, our friends, our health and even for ourselves. Me, I’m thankful for all those! I’m also thankful to be able to still see and soak in all the beauty that nature brings. Vast high valleys with majestic, snow covered mountains all around them. I saw … Continue reading Thanksgiving

Convergence

In my case, the airport was usually Stapleton International Airport. It no longer exists but at the time, it was Denver’s main airport. This was back before … Continue reading Airports
Star Trek
Space, the final frontier! I first heard those words back in the late 1960s when I would curl up in front of our 19 inch, black and white TV to watch Star Trek. I was lucky enough to see the original series when it first aired although I was more enamored with the Enterprise, phasers … Continue reading Star Trek
Miscellaneous Ramblings
Perfection. What is it? Do we know it when we see it? How is it measured? I’m not sure I have the answers to any of those questions but I do know last week was filled with near perfection. Let’s start with Monday. I took a half day off from work to do a mountain … Continue reading Miscellaneous Ramblings
Los Alamos
Several months ago we went on a road trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico. We hadn’t been there in a number of years and we had never driven there via State Highway 285, a road that goes from Denver south until it ends near Big Bend National Park in Texas. We thought it would be … Continue reading Los Alamos
