    Things To Do Before You Die, updated again

    I’m feeling reflective and I find this post, Thing to do before you die, updated. And then I find this: Let’s just see if dreams come true, post. My dreams are about pushing my limits, seeing new places, and adopting more dogs. (Oxford comma intended) I’m looking at houses on real estate...

    Road Trip to Boone NC

    In March Winnie-dog and I went on a weekend road trip to Boone, NC. Our first stop was Blowing Rock. I wanted to see the famous geological formation called The Blowing Rock, pictured below.

    Hallett Peak RMNP June 2025

    I arrived in Estes Park an hour later than I wanted to; primarily due to my flight departing late due to the Atlanta weather issue.

    A Short Trip Home Rye, New Hampshire

    Sometimes the best vacations are about going home. I love saying I’m from seacoast New Hampshire; I am proud of this beautiful place on the Atlantic Ocean. Many people don’t really even know where New Hampshire is – I’ve encountered people not knowing, in the many places I’ve lived in the US...

    There are no ideal conditions

    The picture above is from hiking Mount Washington in New Hampshire April 2022. It could’ve been warm and sunny at the top of the mountain, or knarly and windy at 6,288 feet. It was pretty perfect. Cold, windy but not life threatening. It’s always a toss up. My point, and what I’ve been...
