700 Ft
For all of my faithful readers . . . here is a video. I have never posted a video before, but this one is different. I took it. You are invited to take a journey with me, down a very long and very steep hill. As best as could be determined from a topographical map, [...]
No Going Back
On the 4th of July, the extended family held a gathering at an RV campground in Pennsylvania. A pavilion was rented, food contributions lined up, and then the day arrived. As it happened, I had been to the RV campground many years ago. Many years ago Grandma and Grandpa had a camper at the campground, [...]
Interesterified Fat and Prenatal Urination
What do interesterified fat and prenatal urination have in common? Nothing, except I learned something new about both of them recently. It would be very interesting if they had something more in common than that. As it is, I found what I learned about both to be both educational and interesting. Perhaps you will also [...]
Photos Round 2
Long time readers of this website will perhaps remember my previous attempt to add a photo section to this website. I called it an experiment. As such, it failed. It failed primarily from lack of time. If I had been willing, or able, to take more time to upload random (or selected) photos from my [...]
The Price of Milk
I guess you could call it a sign of the times we live in–the economic times we live in, I mean. I don’t carefully follow the price of all groceries when I do my weekly shopping, but I do keep a regular eye on the price of a gallon of milk. The recent trend has [...]
The Interview
As done by aSeamstress. 1.What is the best piece of advice that you’ve ever been given? The best advice was from my Dad. Rather than being a piece of advice he has given on one particular occasion it has been his general exhortation to me in life. Distilled down to a pithy saying, it would [...]
Sights, Sounds, and Smells of Spring
Sights One of the many good things about spring is that without it, and without the absence imposed by fall and winter, we flawed mortals might fail to appreciate the beauties around us. So much of the wonder of spring is found in the return of what was absent. Would the appearance of new leaves [...]
A Tale of Two Bikes
I ride my bike three times a week, every week, all year. I don’t even stop for the winter. It is my way of getting some fresh air and exercise. I enjoy the outdoors, and three weekly trips is my minimum time for enjoying nature. Unless I’m going on one of my occasional extended jaunts, [...]
Going It Alone, My Way
At least some of my readers are aware that I have been working on novel length fiction. I have been working for years, actually. And I say “novel length fiction” rather than a novel, because it has been the plural over the years. There have been times when I felt as if nothing would ever [...]
Full Circle
It’s strange how life can travel in full circles. The years roll past and what once was is now reversed. When I was growing up my grandparents had a camper in a summer RV camp in Pennsylvania. For a few summers around the time I was 12 they invited us three oldest boys for a [...]
