After almost a year and a half, Sammie has finally begun to take her mom’s place on my hip. Warms my heart.

If you stare into the void…
If you stare long enough into the Void, eventually the Void may stare back. In honor of Black Cat Appreciation Day, I present Duke. He’s one of our barn cats and a double source of our stress this week. He turned up at the barn dragging a back leg last week. The vet says his… Continue reading If you stare into the void…
It’s been a week
Good morning from Medic 4! It has BEEN a WEEK. We have been riding a roller coaster of personal highs and lows, and it’s not over yet. This morning it’s dark, damp and foggy. It’s also 55° and was the perfect day for a bike ride to work. I’m finding that the ~1/2 hour of… Continue reading It’s been a week
Cricket
We lost Cricket this week. Dementia, kidney failure, and plain old age finally caught up with her. At 18+ she was ancient in dog years yet still remained spry until almost the end. I didn't want a dog, but Mrs Mack505 talked me into one back in 2007. Cricket was a rescue from a high-kill… Continue reading Cricket

We lined up at Grand Central Terminal for a 2 hour ride escorted by NYPD which covered three boroughs and two bridges, ending with a… Continue reading DGR 2022 update

It's impossible to navigate from post to post, and you cannot access posts beyond the first page without searching for them. I'll be looking for a better one soon. (edited: I've changed it. Will see if… Continue reading Updates 10/22
Mt Holyoke
I rode Mrs March505’s Super73 ebike to the summit of Mt Holyoke today. It was great. I felt like I was cheating when I passed a pair of ‘real’ cyclists on the way up. They were friendly and cheerful though. Oh, and I desperately need a shave. Sorry. Vacation mode.
Fire and Ice
I haven’t photographed much recreationally lately, but this view struck my artistic eye today. Shot on my iPhone; the best camera is the one you have available.
Umbrella
I used to have a green duck umbrella. It was cute and fun and I have no idea where I got it. Many years ago I left it on a carousel in Old Orchard Beach, and I was disappointed. I found a yellow one somewhere. It died an early death at the hands of a… Continue reading Umbrella
