Downhill Skiing, Bicycle Riding & Walking
My two favorite activities that I love to do is ride my bicycle in the warmer months and downhill skiing in the freezing ones. All of my life, I loved riding my bike because I could travel across the island where I grew up near Detroit and, later, in northern Michigan along Lake Michigan. RidingContinue reading “Downhill Skiing, Bicycle Riding & Walking”
The Absence of the Wild
Currently living in the metroplex in north Texas where Dallas is on one side of the airport and Fort Worth is on the other with suburbia in between. With that being stated, overdevelopment of new construction has forced out animals who was called my area home. Oddly enough, in my small town, it has aContinue reading “The Absence of the Wild”
The Serenity of Water
The serenity of water was the purpose of my last trip to the east coast.

Growing up in Michigan onContinue reading “The Serenity of Water”

Adventure is in My Blood
For most of my life, I have been blessed with being able to experience new adventures sometimes locally near my home by auto or by bike. Growing up on an island south of Detroit and across from Canada, I adventured into the thick woods behind my house and learned quickly about poison ivy and poisonContinue reading “Adventure is in My Blood”
Information Seeker
Currently, I have no topics that I need to be informed about which may sound arrogant or ignorant but that’s not the case.

Taking Advantage of Others
Yesterday, I felt like my tire was getting low although not flat plus it seemed like the front end of the vehicle was shaking. My ultra reliable Toyota Corolla was letting me down. So, I drove down to a local franchise tire loss that isn’t a national brand for help. They “fixed” my tire thatContinue reading “Taking Advantage of Others”
