As what may be my family’s last spring break rolls on, here’s my favorite image from the first one, back in 2005. My older daughter–who just turned 18 a few days ago–was in kindergarten at the time, and we spent a week in Arizona. Near the end of the week, we went to a chuckContinue reading “A blast from the past”

Seems only fitting
I’m a flatlander from Chicago, so these days of being on a snowy mountain in Tennessee are certainly unique. The beauty of nature is on full display, and in many ways it’s invigorating. Not many people equate Tennessee with snow, but for the rest of my days I will do exactly that. The circumstances thatContinue reading “Seems only fitting”
Nothing to complain about
When you’re in a climate-controlled cabin in the Smoky Mountains, and this is the view out of the window, there’s not too much to complain about. Even if it is supposed to be Spring Break. Winter came late this year, is all. And next week we’ll have baseball. Can’t beat that.

This is the view from my rented cabin in the Smoky Mountains. In this topsy-turvy world, it seems only fitting to get many inches of snow (with no end in sight) on Spring Break. The adventure continues.

For all I know, it’s still up there today, and has been there since the season ended in early October. There’s no reason to change it now, since thereContinue reading “The old beer game”
Vive Paris!
France is, and probably always will be, the top tourist destination on earth. And Paris is the biggest reason why. If you’re reading this, I hope you’ve been there at least once before. If not, I hope that you get there before you die. I would hate to die without having experienced it. My wifeContinue reading “Vive Paris!”
My family meets the world
The picture above was taken six years ago at the Grand Canyon. My older daughter was in kindergarten then, and for Spring Break so we decided to go someplace fun. I had never been to Arizona before, and so we (me, my wife and two daughters) rented a cabin near Sedona and used it asContinue reading “My family meets the world”
