Running Away – Part One
G and I did our Stanley Hotel getaway this past week, and I don’t know when I’ve had a better time anywhere. The day before we left, it rained all day in Pueblo, great for the garden, but we wondered what the weather would be like at 7500 feet. We needn’t have worried. We had [...]

Of All the Photos…
…that either of us took while we were in San Francisco for the swim, this one: is my favorite. G took it, of course, I was too focused that morning to even think about a camera. I think it captures perfectly the sense of excitement, eagerness and anticipation that everyone felt that morning. I love [...]
Back!!
Hello out there in blog land! We are home safe and sound. We arrived late Tuesday night completely knackered as you might imagine, and I had the next day off to do fun things like unpack, do laundry and run to the grocery store. After that, right back into work and extra freelance work so [...]
Eight Weeks
It just hit me today as I sat here typing my fingers to the bone. My swim is exactly eight weeks from today. Eight weeks! Suddenly this whole crazy thing is becoming real. In two days less than eight weeks, I will be on the streets of San Francisco looking out over the water I [...]
Day Trippers
So, Tuesday, we went to Taos, NM with “the new girls” and had the best time! One of the things I love about having weekdays off is when you go somewhere, it’s not nearly as crowded as a weekend jaunt. We found a parking place right on the plaza and wandered around there, then past [...]
Awe And Grief
Today, we went to Taos. We traveled with another couple, new friends B and M, who are two amazing women. We have so much in common it’s rather frightening. M and I and B and G are like long-lost twins separated at birth. We did this jaunt as a test drive, if you will, to [...]
How To Cross The Street…
In Brisbane, Australia… Loving the special effects and being able to add music, etc. I watched this from the street level, then saw another person up on the balcony where I took these photos. It was a little coffee shop outside of an urban multi-story mall. Lots of those in Brisbane which is quite a [...]
Just Playin’ Around
It’s only taken me about a year, but I finally got around to playing with Windows Movie Maker, and made a little slide show of some of the photos I took last year when we were in Venice Beach before we left for Australia. Managed to get a title and some music on it, too! [...]
Cleaning Up, Clearing Out
Cleaning/straightening/going through things and I found a journal from a long-ago trip. Musings and memories: Leaving London Today it rained, first day in five, Unless you count the snow two nights ago. Next morning, Kensington’s purple crocuses Lay blanketed in a diamond duvet. All is wet tonight, shiny with sky tears Replacing my tears at [...]
