With the task of delivering Gina to a dance meditation in the cultural hot spot of Ashville, NC, Dan, and I pointed the Subaru southward for yet another power trip. The basic idea… Leave Thursday morning, arrive in time for dinner and to check out the brewery scene that seems to be on the tips of every high fiving west… Read more →
I didn’t expect much from the Washington DC area when I booked the flight for a conference… But I have been surprised once again. I really like Alexandria… what a cool old town. I instantly feel comfortable with the welcoming locals and love the the seafood… Though, raw clams may not be my thing… I spent the bulk of my… Read more →
Detroit has seen some hard times in the last decade… All eyes and opinions seem to be on this once great city. Home to so many noteworthy historical people, cultural events, and business, it is really a perfect example of how we as a culture, tend to lift people and places above where they could have naturally risen.

Thanks for the hospitality, Neal.
Today I cut out of work early for a pontoon adventure to Looe key… A protected reef just south of big pine… First, I’m so sad I didn’t have an underwater camera… Tons of fish… Baracuda, parrot fish, a whole gallexy of Nemo and his cousins, shark, lobster, tarpin, grouper… All swimming with us. How amazing! Trevor, Gordon, and Thor… Read more →
I jumped at the opportunity to head back down to the keys for a week to work at a beautiful private rental that Angie and Gordon use as their base camp for a tarpin fishing business… I’ve sat at worse desks….
Having done nothing ON my birthday in quite a few years made me jump at the chance this year to take a long weekend in Key West. We took Friday and Monday off for the drive days since it’s about 8 hours from Daytona. It wasn’t bad, though, since Barb lent us the Miata for the trip! It was a… Read more →
