Quick Mass Visit
Just some photos from my hike from Lake Buel Rd to Rt 7 Great Barrington All-In
New Friends
Every backpacking trip I take brings gifts. Fresh air. Trees. I love trees. Streams. Waterfalls. Wildlife. Cool crawly things. The thing is, the very best gift the Appalachian Trail has given me is friends. I am a recovering alcoholic. Next month I will have 25 years clean and sober. Any of you who know addiction […]
Finally…Georgia!
Yes. Day one. The first day one in some time. 2 Covid shots and a new hip, both keeping me safe out here. And of course, there’s Jennie. My hiking partner these days. Yes. Jennie and I are going to Georgia!!! Tomorrow we will do the “Approach Trail” to Springer Mountain, the Southern Terminus of […]
My Life Is So Good! 2/21
Today, I spent the morning, well part of the morning, skiing at Blu Mountain with my newish friend Betty. Betty, like me , is a retired teacher. Retired. Funny word that. Re tired. Hmm. I’m not sure I would have come today had it not been for Betty. I have trouble following through with physical […]

Truly, in the last 3 decades we have had so little snow. This is great! And another new development. Sometimes it seems like this […]

What Do You Think?
They light up the newly restored steeple on top of the First United Church of Christ, on 3rd and Church Streets in Easton, PA. I know it’s supposed to get all we Easton residents in the Holiday Spirit, but truthfully, it’s looks a bit vampirish to me, right? As the sun goes down, the red […]
Adios 2020
As I say my good byes to this awful year, I can’t help but be a little grateful. A lot grateful. Grateful for Dr. Star who put a new hip in me. Right before the surgery he asked me, “Now which hip are we doing?” Being a little puzzled, I said, “The right one!” To […]
