Two years gone. Has it really been that long? As will probably become clear from these next few posts, in many ways I’m a different...

Finally, a day free of drama. A day when we were finally free to do what we wanted, without constantly looking over our shoulders. In sh...

Today, my 3-day adventure to the land of the Mainiacs ended in grand fashion, with the best weather (and not coincidentally, the best pictu...

Water, water everywhere. Except I’m really not that thirsty. If Captain Planet were real (don’t tell Don Cheadle it’s not), the g...

In New England, if you don’t like the weather, just wait an hour. Even though I hear it all the time, whenever I visit one of the region’...

Finally. After a week of delays, my Great Dixie Adventure culminated with a visit to Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park, which was onc...
