I decided to check out my blog today, just to see what was up. In the corner was an icon I hadn't seen before (or it was so long ago, I didn't recognize it). It was a trophy... weird. I clicked on it, and was surprised with a "Happy Anniversary" message from WordPress... Kidstuph was …
Have napkin will travel…
Ok, I admit it. I have a bit of control freak in me. I like things in order, I'm a fan of symmetry, I appreciate defined lines. People always get on me because I will never wear wrinkled clothes, and I used to be so bad I had my closet organized by solids, then stripes and …
Hawkman half way round the world..
A few months ago, I had a great trip across the water to parts of Asia. Ever since I got back, I haven't been able to let it go... It's like I'm being called back there for some reason. While I was there, I did get some nice pics with my friend, the hawkman. Now, …
Moonstruck…
Tonight, the moon was amazing. I was glad I decided to tote my camera to work, even though it sat lonely in the trunk of my car all day. Yet, when it was time to leave, the only thing I could think about was introducing my camera to that bright beautiful orb in the sky. …
Death of a Good Cut of Meat…
It started so well... good recipe from a well known chef... time on my side, no rush to get ready for work the next day, and the coup de grace, a good cut of meat: 5 lbs of pork shoulder, ready for roasting. It was a challenge I would accept willingly, looking forward to the …
1 Pic = 1K Words…
That's what they say, anyway. For a wordsmith, however I begin to wonder. I think that pictures prompt a thousand words. I see stories in every picture, emotion in every image, expression in each icon. In any case, I had the off-opportunity to take some pictures of nature today. Each tells its own story, and …
Weekend In the Wild…
I took a big chance a week ago. Anniversaries are special times, and as such, putting all of your eggs in an unknown basket could turn out pretty bad. Lucky for me, it didn't. I heard about a Bed & Breakfast on Twitter from someone I was just getting to know, Gina Stark. I figured …
Birphday Stuph
Tomorrow I mark another year. I don't know why, but I'm looking forward to this particular mark more than years past. How can you be excited about getting older? I know, weird isn't it? I shouldn't be surprised though. One of the things I appreciate about my mom is that she continually teaches me to appreciate …
Cheers… Well, Not Really, But Close…
Whenever I go to Reno for business, I always make a point of having breakfast at Peg's Glorified Ham n Eggs. The food is excellent, and if you are a bacon lover like me (sorry, J 🙂 ), it is paradise. What astounds me, however, is not the enormous amount of food that I can never …
