On Sailing, Focus, and … Ice Cream!
Please note: I’ve added a few updates to the remodeling gallery (latest — 10/30), for those following along. (Thanks.) More soon.
While my house remodeling continues, I’m much more restricted on what I can work than I imagined. There have been several power problems, and I’m without my big computer for days at a stretch as [...]
More Detours — and a Maine Preview
Let me please lead off with an — or, should I say, another — apology for taking so long. Since getting home from Maine, absolutely nothing has gone according to plan.
Well, in reality since long before that … but that’s another story. (Which I might even share someday…;)
Meanwhile, visible progress on the house has slowed [...]
A Detour: Home
Well, I have to admit to a huge mistake: stacking too many things, too close together.
Less than a week from my return from Maine, the work on my home began. That meant that before I could even unpack from the trip, I was packing … the house. It’s turned in a very big deal indeed.
Many [...]
The Old Friend (and the Birthday)
Please note: This gallery is password-protected. However, the Maine gallery, starting in the next few days, won’t be — and will benefit from other news. Thanks for checking back.
Last weekend, on the way back from Maine, I stopped for a couple of days in Dobbs Ferry, New York. While I missed this year’s Festa — [...]
Historic Macon at the Telephone Exchange
Please note: I’m working backwards, from Friday’s event in downtown Macon, through a friend’s special event last weekend in upstate New York, to the past couple of weeks in Maine — all of which resulted in some great photographs. Despite a going non-stop since getting back, please stay tuned for another post this weekend, then [...]

Sapelo Island, off the coast of Georgia, has become one of my favorite places to go. It’s relaxing, it’s peaceful, and, at the beach we stay at, it’s possible to see for miles and miles — in either direction — without seeing a house or any sort of development.
Ultimately, however, it’s as much about the [...]
On Cocktails and Birthdays
Last week not only served up a Cocktail Hour hosted by Creighton (aka the Originator) and Carolyn, but in a Thursday-Friday two-fer, Dan Zook’s 42nd birthday.
I took a very few photographs on Thursday, spending more time chatting with some new folks (as the various school seasons get underway, the new teachers and professors have introduced [...]
August 13 = Fall. (Even before Cocktails.)
Cocktail Hour marked its return from the summer hiatus this past Thursday, and I was there with a camera. It was nice to see folks, including hosts Gerald and Autumn, also marking a return — this time, from their trip to England.
Gerald was also using the occasion to start the celebration of his 40th birthday, [...]
MagTard at Bragg Jam
In keeping with the narrative: as mentioned last time, I rolled back into town — from a great weekend in South Carolina — just in time to catch the last performance of Bragg Jam. Sweet.
Bragg Jam 2009 covered a bunch of venues and dozens if not hundreds of musicians, with an estimated 5,000 attendees overall [...]
Charleston and Edisto Beach, South Carolina
As mentioned last time, I was headed out of town Wednesday. Indeed, I rolled back in around 11 Saturday night — just in time to catch a couple of songs from the MagTard midnight performance at Bragg Jam … before collapsing from exhaustion. Stay tuned, as MagTard’s photographs will be posted tomorrow or Weds.
Charleston, South [...]
