  • Exploring Galway

    In-between getting to Galway, the Day tour we took and then heading back into Dublin we didn’t get to spend to much time sightseeing and exploring all of what Galway had to show.  We barely skimmed what was there. On our two nights there we did go out and explore the nightlife. Many of the…

  • Hurricane Dorian NC

    I had originally planned to come out to New Bern for a week and then Dorian decided to start brewing in the center of the Atlantic and so we watched and we planned and schemed and then decided that going to the Zoo probably wouldn’t be the best bet but stocking up on meals, water…

  • Powder Mountain Ride 

    (Originally written July 2019) It’s simply the next progression in my riding.  I have been thinking about it for years, looking at trails differently as I hike.  When I am staring off into the distance I look past the building, the freeways and roads, past the people milling about looking out to some distance where…

  • Wondering in Frankfurt, Germany

    I honestly had no plans when hopping on a flight to Germany. All I had with me was my passport and my card and some change of clothes in my daypack. I had booked a hostel right before I left and that was really all the planning I did. What to do or where to…

  • Fort Worth Museum Day

    I’ve got Doctor Who on and a cup of coffee and that is how I spend some of these week days now.  That and I am in between work trips and going out in 45 degree weather doesn’t sound fun today.  Though with all of the Midwest having a polar storm maybe I should complain…
