Basketball
What are your favorite sports to watch and play? I love basketball. I was just watching the latest Saturday Night Live episode and I stood up in utter disbelief as the skit basically insinuated that there is nothing left to do now that the NFL is winding up until next fall.

Rocky Mountain National Park
Last June, during a month of rejuvenation, I visited Colorado focusing the last part of my trip in Rocky Mountain National Park.

I don’t care about your weight…

I don’t mean to pick on Netflix: there are multiple issues at stake in our overall health and some down time with the TV is not a bad thing. Same thing with multiple…

2023 A retrospective
This time of year always brings me to review the past twelve months and try to put things in perspective, and then look to the future. All in all, the last year has been a shocking change for me in multiple aspects of my life. Travel restart: after three years of COVID and avoiding air travel, I…

What is my favorite hike in Washington?
Today, I thought about this question and have a favorite but I do not guarantee that the favorite will remain the same. In fact, I thought about this prompt many days, and my favorite hike changed every time I considered the act of choosing. I am actually a fairly decisive person, so what is my problem? Washington has…
