Boston Trip, Part Six
Day Six (Thursday) was our second try for Salem and was a disappointment. It was mostly gift shops (heavy on the Harry Potter) and even the witch trial was so-so with only two actresses portrayin...
Boston Trip, Part Five
Day Five (Wednesday) was a pretty day. We spent the morning visiting with my step-mother and her husband, then stopped for an Italian grinder for lunch on our way to Salem, both of which were a d...
Boston Trip, Part Four
Day Four (Tuesday) was spent doing the traditional shopping on Bearskin Neck. I notice that each time I return there are fewer art galleries and more gift shops, all selling the same touristy stu...
Boston Trip, Part Three (Picture Heavy)
Oh, this entry will drive those with slower computers crazy, but Day Three (Monday) started early and busy, from Boston in the morning to Rockport in the afternoon. Our foster daughter left us f...
Boston Trip, Part Two
Day Two (Sunday) began with a breakfast of cannoli at Mike’s Pastry After that, we did the tour of the Paul Revere House The only bell that Revere cast. It was rung one time: at Paul’s funera...
Boston Trip, Part One
I’ve fallen woefully behind and getting pictures uploaded in addition to catching up on business paperwork that piled up while I was gone has become a bit overwhelming, so I’ll just break these e...
Grand Canyon Family Trip 2016, Part Nine
I want to tie this series up, but so many things are happening, it’s hard to keep up. I’ll have a regular column in the magazine (set to launch mid-November), plus two or three more articles in e...
Grand Canyon Family Trip 2016, Part Eight
I’m usually not in pictures. I’m usually taking them and selfies horrify me. Eldest son’s girlfriend snapped this one of the two of us and I think it captures us perfectly: Our final day on our ...
Grand Canyon Family Trip 2016, Part Seven
I’m finally caught up enough to continue posting! But first, a real life friend of mine has joined the prosebox community so go tell Sherri hello: I’ve been crazy busy: SEO pages and writing mag...

Just a short entry today, because I have VIC (Very Important Company) in town: my BFF from junior high school days! She has developed a neurological disease and it is taking its toll on her. She ...
Grand Canyon Family Trip 2016, Part Five
Here is an excerpt of the magazine article that will appear in the next edition of “Senior Living”, set to launch in November. I’ve excluded a good part of it, especially on the Native American h...

In the afternoon, we visited the Planes of Fame air museum. The museum has 150+ aircraft displays and is a walk through history. The members hold periodic air shows (1st Saturday of each month) a...
Grand Canyon Family Trip, Part Three
I’m glad you are all enjoying the pictures. We visited during monsoon season. The brochures don’t tell you that. Overall, we didn’t experience A LOT of rain, but the skies were overcast, so the c...
Grand Canyon Family Trip 2016, Part Two
Our fair city fared the storm well. Now my thoughts turn to those still in Hermine’s path. Instead of the deluge of rain that we experienced, they face high wind. I have a second or two to conti...
Grand Canyon Family Trip 2016
We returned from a wonderful trip to Arizona to a tropical storm in the Gulf! Thankfully for us, Hermine (who thinks these names up? What’s wrong with “Sue” and “Betty” and “George” and “Harry”? ...
