2024 04 08 Eclipse

 Posted on April 13, 2024  |  3 minutes

The North American Eclipse of 2024 Athena and I took the day on Monday to drive as far north as we could to see totality of the Solar Eclipse. The original plan was to make it to Pittsburgh, NH which is at the headwaters of the Connecticut river and just an amazing fly-fishing location. We got a slower start with an early morning appointment, so headed in that direction and planned to pull over when we saw a good spot equal to or north of st. [Read More]

Closing Day 2024

Day 19

Took Victoria and Athena to the closing day at Sunapee mountain. They had received about 24 inches of new snow in the last couple of days as a Nor’Easter passed through dumping a bunch of rain on Boston all week. We did not expect much, but it was the most open we’ve seen the mountain. Also turned out to be a beautiful day.

Flake it till you make it

Excerpt from Soulshaping by Jeff Brown

 Posted on February 26, 2015  |  3 minutes

Under what circumstances should we step off a path? When is it essential that we finish what we start? If I bought a bag of peanuts and had an allergic reaction, no one would fault me if I threw it out. If I ended a relationship with a woman who hit me, no one would say that I had a commitment problem. But if I walk away from a seemingly secure route because my soul has other ideas, I am a flake?

You can write regular markdown here and Hugo will automatically convert it to a nice webpage. I strongly encourage you to take 5 minutes to learn how to write in markdown - it’ll teach you how to transform regular text into bold/italics/headings/tables/etc. Here is some bold text Here is a secondary heading Here’s a useless table: Number Next number Previous number Five Six Four Ten Eleven Nine Seven Eight Six Two Three One How about a yummy crepe?

To be

... or not to be?

 Posted on February 13, 2015  |  2 minutes

To be, or not to be–that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take arms against a sea of troubles And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep– No more–and by a sleep to say we end The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to. ‘Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep– To sleep–perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub, For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause. [Read More]

Dear diary

 Posted on January 27, 2015  |  1 minutes

What is it with that Mary girl? Dragging me to school every day. As if I had a choice. What you don’t hear in those nursery rhymes is that she starves me if I don’t go to school with her; it’s the only way I can stay alive! I’m thinking about being adopted by Little Bo Peep, sure I may get lost, but anything is better than being with Mary and those little brats at school (shudder, shudder). [Read More]
