We made a 2-night stop in San Antonio for the main purpose of riding our bikes on the Riverwalk Hike and Bike Trail. Plus, San Antonio is kind of a cool town. If you have ever traveled to San Antonio, either for work or pleasure, you are most likely familiar with the Alamo and the… Read More San Antonio – Dec 2024
Undoubtedly you are wondering who travels in their camper in the middle of December, just before the holidays? Don’t you have family, friends, former cell-mates, bookies, to spend time with? Of course. That’s why we are traveling, hopefully before any of them realize we are gone. Mum’s the word. We left New Hampshire before the… Read More Head’n West – Dec 2024
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. These words from the iconic poem, The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost, capture much of the nature of… Read More The Road Not Taken – Dec 2024
Happy Thanksgiving to you! As a family we have had a rich tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving, sometimes in somewhat unconventional ways, places, and circumstances. We have, as a family, celebrated Thanksgiving over the years at home either in Lexington, MA or Marietta, GA, in our trailer at Big Bend National Park in southwest Texas and… Read More Thanksgiving – Nov 2024
As has been tradition (we are not ones to hold with tradition), once again we post a summary of our past summer. Now keep in mind that this is less about informing you as it is in reminding ourselves what we have been up to. Maybe I should do a post on where I left… Read More Summer of ’24 – Sept 2024
Setting out on the Utopia, a small charter boat, we got to visit the newly opened Wood Island Life Saving Station sitting at the mouth of the Piscataqua River and the entrance to the Portsmouth Harbor off Kittery Point, Maine. With Captain Rick (a 26-year Coast Guard retiree) and his able assistant Beatrice, we motored… Read More Wood Island Life Saving Station – Aug 2024
We have now crossed another hurdle in our lives – we participated in a parks and recreation event, replete with bus transportation, and clearly intended for a “mature” crowd; our lives are spiraling before our eyes. We are now the ones on the bus, not the ones watching the bus. We had a fantastic time! … Read More Isles of Shoals – Aug 2024
I had the opportunity on Friday to watch the Tall Ships parade into Portsmouth (NH) Harbor – such a cool event!

You can run but you can’t hide. Once again, we have weaseled our way into the lives of good friends and former neighbors for three days of fun and music. We traveled to northwest Pennsylvania in and around the Alleghany National Forest to join friends Kyle and Cherie at their cabin/camp. While we have traveled… Read More Northwestern Pennsylvania – Jun 2024
If you don’t have an Alde (pronounced Alduh) system, then you will find this post boring and irrelevant, much like those folks who do have an Alde system. The audience for this post? Those three people worldwide who actually know less than I do about the Alde Compact 3020 RV Furnace system. For those owners… Read More Alde Compact 3020 RV Furnace – May 2024
We have laid to rest one of our dear friends, Mark Conway, and for those who know Mark I am posting some miscellaneous photographs, plus the eulogy I delivered at his funeral service. The pictures are in random order, but in looking through the pictures, there seems to be recurring themes of food, beverage, golf,… Read More A Tear in the Fabric – Apr 2024
Last weekend I had the opportunity to join a couple of buddies for a Global Arts Live concert at the Crystal Ballroom in Davis Square (Somerville, MA) to see Altan, a traditional Irish band. Wow. They are SO good – I described to my buddy that it was singularly the most beautiful concert I had… Read More Boston’s Global Arts Live: Altan – Mar 2024
This weekend I had the pleasure (?) of attending a service celebrating the life of a woman, Linda Pierpont, who passed away recently, but I never knew. Why, you ask, would you attend a service, in a somewhat remote part of Maine, hours away, in a church service in which I knew not a soul?… Read More A True Tale of Bull – Jan 2024
Happy New Year! Nothing like starting out the year with some severe weather!. Pretty much the entire country has seen some crazy weather since the start of the year, and nothing here in New Hampshire compares to some of the devastation that happened in the Florida panhandle and other places because of tornados. The weather… Read More Hampton (NH) Weather – Jan 2024
