Portland Head Lighthouse Portland, ME Ahhh beautiful Maine. The wheelz took a bit of a different form on this journey. Charter bus!

St. George Island, FL My handle was the Florida panhandle a few weeks ago as we trekked toward my brother’s place for a mid-winter escape from normalcy. My internment in the winter doldrums was about to expire. Over the past few months I have discovered a writer named Sean Dietrich. His podcast Sean of the... Continue Reading →
It was unusually warm for December. We hadn't seen my cousin in awhile and thought it might be nice to head over to the lake since it was such a nice day. Reports were that there was a storm brewing but that it wouldn't come until evening. I heard the words "big event" in the... Continue Reading →

Often requested, sometimes given, never taken for granted...second chances. We've all had those times in our life when we wished for one, decided to grant one or were the benefactor of one. Mistakes are made, decisions regretted and if you're lucky a second chance turns up somehow. On a quiet road behind the airport amongst... Continue Reading →
I'm athletic. I have dribbled a basketball, hit a softball, spiked a volleyball, and ridden a bike. Yard darts, Bocce ball and badminton...I can even juggle!
