This was written around Thanksgiving of 2015 and has percolated on the back burner ever since… The city that never sleeps… That may just apply as I’m not sure how much I slept when I was there a few days ago. This was my first trip to NYC since I was very young. I have … Continue reading NYC →

I was changing a bicycle tire today and it got me thinking about all the miles and rides that tire and I have been through together. We traveled in several states seeing 11,000 ft. passes in Colorado and vast ocean along the Pacific coast. We've seen old army bases, ski resorts, mines, towns, rivers, cities, … Continue reading Old Tires →

What a wonderful time of year! That magic time between the early days of September and the waning days of November. I've lived many places in this country, on the Pacific coast, in the Rockies of the west, in the cities and towns of the midwest and the east and in every case, my favorite … Continue reading Fall →

In my last post I talked about road trips and had a few photos from the trip. Well, one of my friends asked if I had any pictures of the desert. You would think I wound have since I drove hundreds of miles in the desert, but I really don't. Sure, I have a few … Continue reading Smelling the Cactus →

I'm in the midst of one, a road trip that is. I should say I have completed one as this post has taken a while to finish.

It takes our freedom and it takes our joy. It takes us to starvation and it … Continue reading Blowin’ in the wind… →

I’ve been thinking of the best way to cover Apple’s software because I don’t want to imply a negative view but I also want to convey there are some areas that need a little work. I thought comparing their operating systems to their office productivity software (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) would get my point across. First, … Continue reading The Hard and Soft of It →

I am a bit of an Apple fan. Some folks would say I’m a lot more than that but I don’t think so or at least I don’t want to admit it! I’ve been working in the computer industry for more years than I’d like to say and during that span, I’ve spent a lot … Continue reading Bobbing for Apples →

Glasses, the ones you look through vs. the ones you drink out of can be, well, frustrating! Yep, there is a story here although maybe not an interesting one... I finally purchased a new pair of glasses the other week and they arrived at the gleasses store yesterday. My old glasses were in terrible shape. … Continue reading Glasses and Fog →
