  • Knee Evaluation

    The stiffness in my left knee has been getting gradually worse on my longer hikes. My internet self-diagnosis so far is that it’s one of the outer knee varieties of runner’s knee, but I felt the need for some kind of consultation on this. I was reluctant to go to an orthopedic doctor, mostly because…

  • T-Rex’s Open House

    We thought we’d have some friends and associates over to see the new office and home, but T-Rex made it clear these visitors were in his domain:

  • A Vegan New Year

    I’ve stopped eating animal products this year. I’ve been mulling over what to say about it for some time, because while I’m excited about the change, I’m also apprehensive. The exciting part is that I seem to have a natural affinity for this diet, and I think it’s the single most effective action I can…

  • Merry Christmas

    We’re having a peaceful day and wish the same to you.

  • Fever Driving

    Our drive keeps handing us surprises. We go through Moab, but it isn’t our destination. This feels wrong again every few minutes at least until we reach I-70. When we reach Idaho, a rest stop attendant tells us a storm is coming, and there have already been several accidents ahead. We consider stopping for the…

  • Santa Fe to Delores River Drive

    Usually I don’t write much about all the driving we do, but some of it turns out to be a great part of a trip. This drive is packed full of goodies, some of which I’ve never seen. Starting at the southern tip of the Jemez mountains with White Mesa, you get a smorgasbord of…

  • Teal Gallery with Sean

    Sean’s first exhibition will be in the Teal Gallery in Breckenridge, Colorado. We meet him there for the pre-opening party to mark the occasion. It’s a really attractive place, with a variety of appealing art selected for the opening on December 20 (when I’m sure all the art will be hanging). I wish Sean and…

  • Ann’s latest ankle-wear

    Four weeks after spraining her ankle at Sugarite Canyon, Ann got this supportive and stylish brace to help her keep from re-inflaming the injury. Now at six weeks, it seems to be working, and getting her plenty of attention from the style-conscious senior crowd at the post office. She’s no longer using a cane, and…

  • Leaf Storm in Ann Arbor

    I’m visiting my mom in Michigan this week. We’re treated to this amazing autumn spectacle at a friend’s house in Ann Arbor:

  • Cactus Spine Injury

    We were getting ready to climb at El Rito this weekend, when I noticed an irritating cactus spine injury on my ankle was painful enough to make me limp. The injury was already two weeks old, red, and inflamed. After some research and soliciting some advice, I decided to stay off of it for a…
