A recent chain of events (a record-breaking polar vortex which led to a four-day school cancellation which led to a reorganization of the photo cupboard) brought to light a long-forgotten photo album of our first Southwest road trip. Turns out the husband and I (but mostly the husband – you’ll see his massive camera in several … Continue reading A Photo Journey: Arches National Park
As I’ve mentioned here and there, running is not my favorite form of exercise. Not by a long shot. I can name several other workouts I’d rather do. However, I do run, and when traveling, it is often my only form of calorie combat. I haven’t had too many negative running experiences on my travels. The … Continue reading A Travel Running Run-In

Hi. I’m back and in a very good mood, putting out a blog post for a second consecutive day (a rarity for me). What I didn’t mention in yesterday’s post about the impending frigid temps was that there was a lot of talk over the weekend about today being a snow day. (For those of … Continue reading Snow Day!!!
Is writing about the weather a sign that a blogger has hit rock bottom? If so, I’ve reached this nadir with dizzying speed. Still, it can’t be helped. Every weather forecasting outfit in the US is warning of a possibly record-breaking arctic blast this week for those of us lucky enough to live in the … Continue reading Bracing for the Deep Freeze
Have you ever hiked five miles in bare feet, sandals, or Crocs®? Of course you haven’t. That would be insane. That, or you would have been in some sort of hair-raising, life-threatening survival/escape scenario that would have left you traumatized for life. If that’s the case, I apologize for being so glib.

This week we finally got the husband’s schedule for the 2019-2020 school year and it contains both good news and bad.
