“Hmmm, my calendar is empty Friday.  My Cubs ticket auction ends tonight, and no one is even close to the reserve price.  I wonder if my high school buddy could get us a deal at his hotel?  Fares…not too bad..$233 a piece, and with AirTran’s double credits deal, this would mean Miles […]

In case my dwindling loyal reader base is wondering what I’ve been up to —
I don’t offer it up as an excuse for not writing, for I am much more concerned with the well being of my family than the well being of my blog, which can become healthy once again at any moment.

Swimming at the Hamilton Green community pool, which, as usual, included son Miles kicking and screaming upon exit from the facility. Some scientists say evolution is likely a series of steps that happened […]

Several fun activities were involved, including:
1) Two trips to the local beach […]

Eating at Ferrari’s Little Italy and Bakery, where I had […]

Thanksgiving week in Northern Virginia was nice this week, particularly after the cold rain left. We enjoyed far too much delicious home cooking, especially the desserts. Dinner at […]

Made the annual 320 mile schlep down to old Gulf Breeze, FL this past weekend. We attended the Great Gulf Coast Arts Festival in Pensacola’s Seville Square on Saturday, which was much larger than in past years, as the whole downtown area has been rebuilt since Hurricane Ivan in 2004, and in a good way.

Below you can zoom and click on the map to see just what we did in Newport, RI these past few days. I’ll post a writeup later, but it’s nice to have the map for you to better understand, isn’t it?

The infrequency of my posts may be frustrating to those expecting me to churn out posts like Trent, and I understand. However, I think the “one or two per week” is more my style, as the daily grind takes it toll.
Our family returned yesterday from a week’s visit to Bethany Beach, DE, staying with my […]
