Several months have passed from that last time I sailed in Lake Evans. Tonight was the Thursday evening summer sail. I decided at the last minute to go down to the park and sail. The last three days I have commuted into Orange County for work which constituted one and a half hours in and […] Just thinking of Dad on his birthday. He passed away the 24 of June, 2009 just days away from his 75th birthday. Tonight I took my typical evening walk with Stevie the dog. I also included Elizabeth in the child backpack.

I thought about going along and finally decided last night. The last and only time I was ever on the trail going to Jackstraw Springs was in 2011 during a training hike for an upcoming trip to Philmont […] Young Elizabeth is now 10 months old, or should I exactly 10 months and two days. A couple of days ago she was not feeling up to the picture thing. Patience always helps with young ones. So today was the day. It lasted a few minutes before she wanted to crawl off and play. There […] Tonight I decided to take a bit of a longer walk with Stevie the dog. We walked towards the river. For some of you, the river is usually fairly dry. Not much water. One would wonder why they call it a river. However, I remember the flood of 1969 when the river was flowing bank […] |
