I was in Norway recently planning a day trek with my brother. We were heading high in the mountains above the timberline. Weather up there can be unforgiving, even in June. I needed to pack appropriately for cold, rain or even snow. The pack I had been traveling with was sized at 46 liters and […]

Lighthouses from the Northeast Happy fourth of July! As summer is in full swing I thought I would share one of my lighthouse/sunset pics. This one is taken from Gardiners Bay looking north to the Connecticut coast. It is not often this time of year when the sky colors are just right and I am […]

In case you haven’t heard, there was a coup d’état in Thailand recently. The military has assumed control over all government and dissolved the current constitution. Brief curfews were in effect imposed my the Junta from 10-5 and then 12-4. After my visit this past week in Bangkok, all curfews had been lifted. The streets […]

After doing two Tough Mudder’s last year, I definitely had the urge for more. It would be eight weeks between events and now, being a veteran of one, my plan was to one up myself and not simply finish.

I was visiting the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago with my brother and nephew when we came across this frisky pair of turtles. Lucky for me I didn’t get the “what are they doing” question from my young nephew! I thought this would give everyone a laugh and give the whole “pic of the week” a […]
