A Picture Is Worth…

Welcome to re-run time. Some of my favorite posts, mostly older and travel related, while I myself am on the road. This post, from 2014 gave new meaning to an old proverb. If a picture really is worth a thousand words, then I don’t need to say too much today. Maybe it’s my eyes, but […]

Not Your Average Cloth

Welcome to re-run time. Some of my favorite posts, mostly older and travel related, while I myself am on the road. While I am away I am busily writing new material which will start appearing here when I get home next month.  I’m already looking forward to sharing the new material with you and hope […]

A Sea of Tulips

I just realized the Tulip Festuival is happening in Ottawa and I’m missing it. That’s one of the drawbacks of traveling – you miss some things back home. Here are some photos from the last time I was in town for the Tulip Festival, 2017. A photo essay today, just to give you a sampling […]

On The Road Again

It’s travel time. A combination of business and (I hope) pleasure. Which means some reruns are in order. For the next four weeks, more or less, I’ll be repeating some of my favorite posts from the past eight years. Mostly travel posts I think. I don’t promise not to break in with some breaking news […]

Breaking The Fast

Muslims the world over are observing Ramadan, a month of daylight fasting. Many are thankful that this year Ramadan falls in April and May instead of June and July when the days are longer. I was thinking more of travel than Ramadan yesterday, though some of my Muslim friends were on my mind. In Germany […]

Getting There

Travel seems to be ramping up after two years of pandemic hiatus. People are making plans to go new places and see new things, even as the number of COVID-19 cases are once more increasing. I think the difference is that the latest variant doesn’t hit as hard, even as it is more easily transferred […]

A Few Dents

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I had a post for today. I know I did. But I can’t, for the life of me, remember what it was I wanted to share. I just know it was tied to this date, March 31. Since I can’t remember, I’m re-running this piece from March 31, […]
