Read MoreStrangers
We rarely meet people we don’t enjoy, from the waiter at the pizza joint, sweating and straining to serve everyone to the lady manning the hotel desk. Shawn and I enjoy our encounters with people. We often strike up conversations with strangers at odd times and in odd places, but last night we broke our…
Read MoreTraveling
As we move along, admiring the spectacular western scenery, I squint and imagine what it must have been like five to seven hundred years ago. Then I change some of the trees to red, put a dragon or two in the sky, others perched on Messas and shine a green light on everything. My focus…

It seems that wherever we go we always meet the nicest people. When we traveled back and forth from Alaska and Chicago, we used to marvel over how genuinely nice people were. On this trip to Denver, we have met so many wonderful people, all willing to share a smile, a good wish for the…

Read MoreGarmen Alert
We May be the only ones, but we get amused sending the Garmen directional program into fits of spasms, getting her lost on country roads and letting her plot her way out. Only yesterday it happened entirely by accident. We werehighway driving through a construction zone detour and she is jabbering about staying on the…
Read MoreRoad Trip
We always see the most amazing things as we drive across the country. Today aside from a car 🚘 on Fire 🔥 on the side of the road with rescue workers fighting back the blaze, we saw a helicopter swooping over fields of corn 🌽 obviously checking on things. We had wonderful weather, many courteous…
Read MoreAnniversary
Today is my parents wedding anniversary. They were lucky enough to find one another in their early twenties, during their undergraduate years and somehow managed to fight together through the storms of life. Obviously I am very glad they managed,but I am also grateful for the the example of commitment, devotion, and compromise. Congratulations to…
