PIsac hike – day 3.
It's funny when you look at pictures a couple of years after the trip and wonder. I know the first few pictures were from the drive there. Then there are pictures of when we walked up the...
A Blog of an idea!
I'm not addicted to Facebook and oh dear! I'm starting with digressing. Back to the topic. A link was shared to my Facebook this morning. It was a blog ad. What's a...
The Age Divide
This post is not about the generation gap. The funny thing is that I don't really know what this post is about. I think this post has something to do with yesterday's non-indictment....
Ferguson verdict. Non-indictment of Officer Darren Wilson.
I'm heartbroken. 20 miles from my home, businesses are being looted. Police cars are set on fire. There's a Little Caesar's pizza burning to the ground. When I started this...

Cusco, Peru. Walking tour. Day 1.
7:45am. At airport waiting to board flight to Cusco. Water bottle was allowed. Nice to travel without fluid restrictions. Since this is a journal, I'm skipping, but I guess I'm talking about...
My trip to Machu Picchu, Peru in May 2011. Getting there.
Dear friends, As I'd mentioned earlier, I am trying to consolidate all my blogs from other sites. Well, in May of 2011, I took a trip to Peru. The goal really was Machu Picchu, but of...
The Boys Next Door
If I would have titled this post as "The Boy Next Door, a play by DeSmet Theatre", the non-theatre types would probably skip over it. Maybe, they'll jump ship now. OK. The cat is...
