Every time I upgrade my iPhone, one of the first settings I change is the typing sound on the digital keyboard. I have to switch this off. The digital representation pales in comparison to the harsh, metallic sounds of the manual typewriters I grew up with. As someone who enjoys writing, typewriters have always held …
Nature is amazing, isn’t it? From the bold swatches of color in a sunset to the countless varieties of flowers that abound in the spring, nature and color go hand in hand. HowStuffWorks posted an article a couple of weeks ago titled 38 Colorful Birds You Didn’t Know Exist. Some of the birds on the …
Let me start by saying this is NOT a sponsored post. I recently finished a bag of Blackbeard’s Delight from Black Rifle Coffee Company. This brand of coffee was one of my dad’s favorites. After he passed away, I had several bags to bring home, and a few of us cleaned out his homestead. We keep …
One of my favorite movies is the cult classic The Blues Brothers, which is set in one of my favorite cities, Chicago. The movie was released in 1980 and wasn’t a huge blockbuster hit, even with the fame of comedic icons Dan Aykroyd (Elwood) and John Belushi (Jake). Not to mention the number of other …
Thank you for joining me on this journey. I will be the first to admit that things with the blog dropped off in 2024 and, at times, became a little bit of an afterthought as the day job and life took most of my attention. Looking back, I failed to plan my year photographically, so …
Laura and I are both happy Jeep owners. So, we want to take a moment to wish our favorite vehicle brand a very happy 83rd birthday. We hope that we are still both good-looking and capable when we get to be that age!!!
More than 11 years ago, I lost my mom to cancer. There have been many things that have happened in my life during those years that I wish I could share with her or seek her advice about. I took it for granted that she would be around to talk with…even if I wasn’t the …
I looked out the kitchen window Monday and noticed a disturbance in the side yard. Being a naturally curious person, I took a quick stroll outside to see what was going on. Much to my surprise, I discovered it was a rabbit nest and there were three young bunnies hiding amongst the grass clippings and …
The date was April 12, 1981. I was still in elementary school when Space Transportation System-1 (STS-1)—better known as the space shuttle Columbia—lifted off from Kennedy Space Center’s launch pad LC-39A, ushering in a return to manned spaceflight for the United States since the Apollo program ended in December 1972 (less than a year before I …
We live close to a military base, so it’s not uncommon for us to hear (and often see) jets and helicopters flying overhead during the day and night. I’ve always enjoyed and been fascinated by aircraft. I volunteered for two years in high school, working at an air show. I did everything from sinking fenceposts …
