after alaska.
our trip to alaska was a learning experience. we realized a lot about what we need to exist. number one on that list: our car = our freedom. without it we were trapped in a cycle of bad food choices, nothing to do that didn’t rely on the shuttle schedule and ultimately a scary health […]
finding life in death valley.
my son needed a little break from the winter doldrums back in grey-skies-will spring-never-arrive-cleveland, so we sent him a ticket to fly into las vegas and planned a few days of camping and a visit to death valley national park. now the name death valley conjures up a desolate, barren wasteland of nothingness. a mad […]

cold turkey: day one.
or: how to quit nicotine in four (easy) days. this guy. smoker for over ten years. has tried repeatedly to break the habit, and failed each time. each time he has relied on using a nicotine replacement patch to ‘ease’ symptoms, but didn’t do much else. this time, with a whole new mental attitude in place, […]
