After finishing my post about the Buffalo Special Olympics Polar Plunge a few weeks ago, I wanted to quickly write about Big Big Table (to encourage year-end donations). But of course, LIFE! Despite the absolute shitshow our country has become over the last 11 months, I read several optimistic, heartfelt commentaries this week by writersContinue reading “Big Big Xmas Eve!”

72 hours in Boston
It has only been five days since I returned from Boston, so this is one of my most promptly written travel blogs. Buffalo’s endless summer continues. It is expected to reach 80 degrees today and remain sunny throughout the week. In a few hours, I am heading down to Hamburg to do some Stand-up PaddlingContinue reading “72 hours in Boston”
Interconnectedness and Disconnecting
I have been wanting to write about these topics since I started reading “Where the Heart Beats” by Kay Larson. WordPress indicates that this is 7,000 words and a 38-minute read (despite my aggressive editing when I initially saw it was a “40-minute” read). You can skip the several long articles I have included, ofContinue reading “Interconnectedness and Disconnecting”
Florida: December 2024
Better late than never? I guess. Two months ago, I spent a week in Florida, letting my body recover from the November Ironman Race and my mind to have a brief break from the election results and my personal issues. I am on day 4 of an awful bout of Influenza A and had toContinue reading “Florida: December 2024”
Post IM Roadtrip: Florida-Buffalo
If I finish and post this, it will be my second one of the day. I don’t think that has happened before! But before I can start writing about November, I must share the amazing birds I saw on my beach walk. I bundled up well; it was only 39 degrees and very windy. WalkingContinue reading “Post IM Roadtrip: Florida-Buffalo”
Imagine….
It is January 20th, 2025. Of course, I am on a full news blackout and won’t even venture onto social media. I did post a photo to Instagram this morning as I sipped coffee and read my Kindle on the couch of my VRBO in South Carolina. As I mentioned in my last post, IContinue reading “Imagine….”
A change in latitude.
WOW. It is already January 10th, and I never even wrote a 2024 wrap-up post or one about my drive home from Panama City Beach (Ironman Florida) in November or my vacation in Siesta Key in December! Will get around to those later but for today will just write about the last few days. IContinue reading “A change in latitude.”
120 miles in the saddle
As I typed that title it reminded me that I had forgotten to mention something about “Slow Horses” (AppleTV) in my last post. The theme song (played at start and end of episodes) is so perfectly appropriate. I recognized Mick Jagger’s voice but had not heard the song before. ! A few seconds of researchContinue reading “120 miles in the saddle”
