The start of July 2021 saw another 5 flights cancelled, bringing the total Covid count to 37, but we found new ways to seek adventure, going camping in the rain in Alabama, beaching at Amelia Island in Florida, riding horses in California, and enjoying new experiences in our own neighborhood […]

from Yellowstone to Rushmore
We flew into Jackson Hole airport in Wyoming the day after my 46th birthday and left 10 days later, via Rapid City in South Dakota, so that we could bring the children’s U.S. National Parks total to 33 and mine to 38–our first extended (i.e., more than a long weekend) […]
June 2021 in 30 seconds

the mountains are calling
I’ve spent as many weekends as possible in 2021 on mountains. Every weekend since getting mountain bikes, my bride and I have gone west, south, or north of Atlanta to ride. One weekend earlier this month, however, we brought the children, and Jody brought his oldest daughter, and the 7 […]
I miss 2019; here’s 1/3 of it in 1-second increments, for nostalgia’s sake
Remember 2019? Me neither. Let’s fix that (for August-December, anyway).

Here’s February 2021 in 28 seconds, like I did last month and last year!
