The Rock of Rockley
My very first post on this website was about our visit to a rock. Charlene, my beloved wife, was none too impressed that I was taking her to see a rock and expressed a lot of displeasure that we were wasting our time on it.…
Sherbrooke, Quebec
We had to pass through Quebec to get to New Brunswick, and Sherbrooke was the halfway point for this leg of the trip. Initially, I was going to wake up at midnight and drive straight through without stopping to get to my destination on the…
Life’s Regret
I told my work that I needed to make an emergency trip to Cleveland. Naturally, they became pretty alarmed. I needed to see the largest candy store in America. Only one person agreed with me after this revelation that it was indeed an emergency. I…
The Stephen and Tabitha King Foundation
It is not often we go to Maine; this year was our first time. It is a beautiful state with much to explore, and it will be the source of many future vacations. But there is something odd about Maine. If you read Stephen King,…

The Story Behind This Pic – In A Tree
There is a story behind every picture I take. Those are my legs in this sycamore tree on Blennerhassett Island, on the Ohio River, which borders Ohio and West Virginia. This was one of our stops on our trip to West Virginia. The day before,…
