Peewees in Adventureland
Random Road Ramblings
We are currently in the Thousand Trails park outside LaConner, WA., which probably everybody but me knew already is on Puget Sound. I never seem to pay attention to things like where I am, where I am going or what I’m doing and it’s a wonder I get anywhere or do anything and yet here [...]
As some of you may know we have recently bought a “spring and summer” residence in Bend, Or., and thus have officially joined the ranks of “snowbirds” and will migrate to AZ with the rest of the pack sometime soon or at least by the end of September due to the pickleball tournaments which begin [...]
When you are throwing up it’s hard to wax poetic, but afterward it’s a different story, isn’t it?
Emeril’s Table 10 in Las Vegas is not the typical restaurant Irene and I would eat in. We are far too frugal for that, but this one time it seemed like a good idea. We hadn’t eaten at [...]

As is now ordinary for us, having done virtually the same thing two years ago, we came last Sunday to Missoula, became re-captivated by this area’s many charms and subsequently spent all of one day (today, in fact) racking up over 100 miles driving the city from one end to the other, two increasingly car-sick but [...]

I favor Obama. It’s been years since I’ve really felt that any president was working as hard as I’d like them to, plus displaying the ability [...]
I’ve been chastized lately for a lack of sincerity in my search for the meaning of life, and if you want to get caught up on the discussion you need go no further than my last post. Irrespective of the opinions of the haters and naysayers, however, I am most sincere, and just because I [...]
