I’ve got to stop hanging around with people who think big thoughts. They lead my brain down unsettling pathways. I’ve also got to stop reading Ecclesiastes, even if it is one of my favorite books of The Bible. It too makes me think, reflecting on society – where it is, where it is going and […]
We continue our walk in the woods from yesterday. Given that it is Sunday, I thought we’d go with photos today and not much commentary from me. If you click on the images you can see the larger version.
Our neighbors wanted to show us a nice forest walk. What better way to spend a sunny Fall Saturday? I meant to share these photos when they were taken, almost five years ago. I can’t remember what stopped me. Now I’m looking at them and wondering “just where was that?” I know it’s the state […]

The early morning walks along Old Orchard Beach are one of my favorite summer rituals. At 6 a.m. there are very few people on the beach. At low tide […]
I didn’t get much done yesterday, so the spring cleaning jokes have spilled over to today. I hope you can see the humor in them. I gotta admit, that one spoke to me, even though the tree has been down since January. I buy this argument. My wife on the other hand… As tempting as […]
It is teh middle of April and the last of the winter snow melted from my back yard on Friday. That must mean it is time for some Spring cleaning, both inside and out. Want to lend a hand? First, we have to decide where to start. Which is more important, the outside or inside? […]
