Report from Ice Station Kilo

I couldn’t remember the NATO phonetic alphabet for ‘K’ and had to look it up. Sad. For the past several hours, in fact most of the day, I have kept myself sequestered in the upstairs office, with the curtains closed, distracting myself from what’s going down out there. I had a bit of a moment […]

Jack graciously took me on a neighborhood walk tonight when I arrived home to put some use to the camera. Unfortunately it started snowing too hard for me to feel comfortable setting up the tripod and I don’t have weather gear, but before that happened I caught this. I made it to and from work […]

It’s the most mumblemumble time of the year!

The look on my face from 30 years ago is about the same look I have today where it regards The Holiday Season. Just one example: I don’t know what to get people! Some people say they don’t want to get things. I really just want to show people that I love them, and getting […]
