Monday morning began with a downpour in Denver, CO. Around 11am it began to clear up so I got on the road. The I-25 north out of Denver was bumper to bumper traffic cruising at 80-85mph. Teri was right, Denver does have some of the worst drivers around. I didn’t want to think that, but after spending a few hours on the road with them I can agree. I used to think Miami was the worst, but Denver has now…
Sunday morning started with an amazingly beautiful ride on scenic byway 128 heading northeast out of Moab, UT. From there I headed east on the interstate to Grand Junction, CO for brunch with a coworker and her family. After brunch I jumped back on interstate 70 east to Denver through some gorgeous country. The rain clouds were moving in, but I was hopeful that I would beat them to Denver. I was not. When I got near Eagle, CO the…
Today’s ride began in Phoenix and ended in Moab, UT. I stopped in Flagstaff, AZ to have breakfast with Missy and John who used to be a part of Phoenix Area Rottweiler Rescue and are awesome people! John had to work so Missy and I met at Campus Coffee to catch up while we ate. After that I was back on the road with only one more stop before getting to Moab. Picture of the bike as I left Phoenix:…
Darius likes to swim for a while, then go roll in the dirt. He is such a good boy.
This past weekend I was able to attend my nephew’s wedding in Culver, IN. Culver is where he went to high school and I now know that there are nice areas in Indiana. The lake near Culver was really beautiful and the high school campus is quite historic. It was founded before 1900.

This is the kind of thing that gets people excited about space! We need more scientists, engineers, etc. to fuel exploration and new ideas, but our educational system seems to be only focused on tests. I certainly don’t have the answers, but watching this made me feel like a little kid and that thought of being an Astronaut that we all had at one point.
I had this as the main page, but didn’t want to remember that night anymore. I just want to remember how wonderful he was. If you’d like to read it, here it is: click
This May was the second annual Lake Powell trip and it did not disappoint. The detour around 89 to Page didn’t extend the drive too much, the weather was perfect, the people were as great as always and the lake as beautiful as ever. We hiked, kayaked, swam, relaxed, napped, played games and sat around the campfire each night reminiscing about the day’s activities, life and the other usual campfire topics. I finally had the opportunity to try out my…
Every year the El Paso, Tucson and Phoenix HHH groups put on an event in Rocky Point (Puerty Penasco), Mexico and I’ve been down for the last four years. This year kept with the ongoing tradition of fun, sun and a little exercise. We did our usual pub crawl on Friday night, run on Saturday (about 6 miles this year) and a hangover run on Sunday out at Cholla Bay. I took some time off on Sunday to spend with…
