Trips During COVID & Government Shutdown 2025
I’ve been traveling so much lately, I haven’t had time to complete my video of our trip to Washington DC last October. I intended to tell the story of how we ended up planning that trip last year, and then attach part of the video to my January blog post. However, I finally realized I… Continue reading

My Dad and His Son
Even though I didn’t know him very well, I grew up living with, and getting to know my Dad – his mannerisms, the kind of music he liked, the way he laughed, the little curl on one side of his mouth when he talked. I don’t remember how old I was when I “knew” or… Continue reading
About Me
Thinking about the line from Karen Carpenter’s song, “…don’t worry that it’s not good enough for anyone else to hear…” I have been inspired to “just sing” (and write, and share).
