I may have forgotten to post this… I’m getting back into the saddle. My bike saddle, that is. Cycling season will be here before I know it, so I hopped on my Bowflex bike (which I adore) and opened on the Explore the World app on my iPad. I chose Hawaii for this “trip,” hopingContinue reading “Jan 02 Bike Barn”

Scotch Eggs
As long as I can remember, I’ve always loved eggs. Boiled, scrambled, fried, poached… In a sandwich, in a salad, in my hand. It doesn’t matter to me!

Pisgah – Walking the Flats
Christine and I finally got to go on a hike! To “open” the season, we chose to walk Pisgah down in the flat parts. Her dog was overjoyed because that meant river appearances. It’s cold, and we bundled up and walked a brisk pace (or at least that’s what my short legs felt). A lotContinue reading “Pisgah – Walking the Flats”
A Tribute to Sue Grafton & Kinsey Millhone (plus some ramblings)

On the first day, we arrived in the afternoon, and Christine’s dog was dying to get outContinue reading “La Pine, OR 13Aug2022”
Horse Rock Ridge 03Jul2022
Christine and I wanted to hike Horse Rock Ridge, for the incredible views. So, the day before Independence Day, we set off in the morning… It has been a wet summer so far in Oregon, and today was a foggy one up in the mountains. We got to the trailhead to be greeted by fogContinue reading “Horse Rock Ridge 03Jul2022”

Drift Creek Falls Trail #1378 20May2022
A few work friends wanted to go hiking with me, and I got to pick the venue. I decided on a trail that’s not too long or difficult, but with good bang for the buck. This is one I’ve wanted to do for a little while. On the day of the hike, it ended upContinue reading “Drift Creek Falls Trail #1378 20May2022”
