Long term travel
Our Best and Brightest
In the night sky, the brightest object other than the moon is the planet Venus. Here in our hometown, the brightest minds attend the University of Nevada (UNR), located just a short walk from downtown Reno.
Three Unforgettable Tucson Trails
During our month in Tucson, we found many excellent hikes of various lengths and difficulties, and through a surprising range of settings and sceneries. Three unforgettable hiking trails led us to a luxurious desert oasis, a brilliant moonlit peak, and a terrifying hard rock monolith.
A Side Trip into Outer Space
5-4-3-2-1, Blast Off! Whoa…that’s a helluva G-force. I am feeling really nauseous and claustrophobic. I think I am going to be sick. I need to get off this thing. Where is that damn ejector button?
The Kingdom of Sonoran Desert Plants
If the fearless lion is the king of the jungle, then the ruler of the Sonoran Desert is indisputably the saguaro cactus. Lording over the desert kingdom, the regal saguaro stands tall and proud, and wears a crown of seasonal white blossoms.
April in the “Green Desert”
Green, warm and vivid by day, and clear, cool and dark by night, Tucson, Arizona will be our home for the month of April 2016. Every April, Tucson’s desert bloom peaks in the bright daytime sun, and Orion and the Winter Triangle loom large under the resplendent nighttime sky.
Great Walk: Downtown San Diego
Travelling on foot, details emerge out of the blur of our rapidly accelerating world.
Our Family Fortune
We are very fortunate indeed. We have a few good friends, a close and loving family, and the freedom to live our dream. Amidst all our good fortune, our most cherished treasures are our young-adult daughters Claire and Cassie.
I’ve Looked at Trees from Both Sides, Now
Bags and bags of fallen leaves, and springtime pollen makes me sneeze. Broken sidewalks skin my knees. I’ve looked at trees that way.
A “Spancophile” in Spanish San Diego
If a Francophile appreciates all things French, then someone who loves Spain and all things Spanish must be a Spancophile. I must admit that if there is such a thing as a Spancophile, then I might qualify.
