We’ve had and heavily used a Garmin StreetPilot 2620 for years and years, and it has usually worked very well. It is frustrating that this old model only syncs to Windows computers for Map Updates and Waypoint/Route planning. Sometimes the touch screen calibration gets so far off that it seems unresponsive. It has certainly been [...]
Home again, home again, jiggity jig. Erci and I are home again getting re-united with the cats and unpacking. Day by day details for those who care…
Erci and I went to New York City for a long weekend of medieval exhibits at various museums with other members of La Belle Compagnie. Trip details and photos after the fold…
Last August we went to Maui, and I never web published the photos. My trial .Mac subscription makes it so easy that I finally decided to publish them, enjoy. My .Mac Gallery
Dance-O-Rama with the Tysons/Vienna Arthur Murray school was terrific fun. Erci and I went with a group of 22 from our studio and danced until our feet were sore and danced a whole lot more. Blue Martini in Bally’s continues to serve excellent martinis, and it was probably a good thing (if mildly disappointing) that [...]

We’ll be visiting with Tasha (she took us to a restaurant Jim recommended). This hotel is posh. We were welcomed with champaign and strawberries. Our suite is like a small apartment. They brought [...]
We are tired, we have loads of laundry to do, and a Bailey-cat who is very happy to see us… and we are home. Love to all – more later.
Erci‘s father picked us up in San Mateo Friday morning and took us down the coast for scenery and catching up, we followed coastal highway 1 from Half Moon Bay to Santa Cruz stopping briefly at San Gregorio, at Pigeon Point and in Davenport for lunch. We took longer at both Bonnie Doon Vineyard and [...]
Ilima tours sent the van to the wrong hotel. United flight 74 was delayed by three hours. Security was nervous about our Tiki carving. My PDA died at the airport. I think I’ll stop touching anything today so nothing else can go wrong… at least Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card is an awesome book.
