Again today I awake early in the morning just as I did yesterday, stunned that it is possible to feel so terrible so early. It has been a long dry spell in the picture taking business, so many miles on the trail with so little to show for it. I have heard it said many … Continue reading Teach Us to Profit

Overdue Project
Cold, cloudy and dreary this morning. Sun is out this afternoon but there is so much mud and water everywhere from the huge pile of snow recently received that I'm not even going to attempt to go out in it. I don't even know if I can get my truck back up the hill in … Continue reading Overdue Project
Day One
My blog post, “the Interview” continues to dredge up some great memories, particularly our first day on the job at the test lab at Control Data in Arden Hills. Our crew in Denver had written software to expand the amount of memory accessible to the mainframes to the equivalent of 40mb in today's terms. Which … Continue reading Day One
The Interview

I find that I miss what we had together, especially during our years in the Denver area. I miss our home, our friends our holidays together and … Continue reading One Year Ago

John Hoss was my usual partner in crime and he has long since passed from cancer and I'm no spring chicken anymore either! I'm sure his sisters would like to hear the details of some of our adventures and … Continue reading The Rescue
Small Accomplishment
Ever since I read of the Intemann Trail last spring I have been wanting to complete the entire stretch of that trail between Manitou Springs and Cheyenne Canyon. The journey began last August when I used the part of the trail to get from Red Rock Canyon to downtown Manitou in order to pick up … Continue reading Small Accomplishment

Excellent post!
Winter 2016
Winter is flying by and spring is nearly upon us! The holiday weeks passed by so excruciatingly slowly that I was dreading the "dead of winter" weeks and months with their extreme cold and long boring hours of darkness. But thankfully it has been an eventful and rewarding two months, starting with a discussion with … Continue reading Winter 2016
Happy New Year 2016
Looking ahead is always good, new plans and dreams require planning and optimism and you can't go wrong with these traits and activities. However, sometimes there is much to be gained by looking back as well. There are lessons learned, failures to digest, victories to build upon, accomplishments to relish and seemingly insurmountable obstacles overcome. … Continue reading Happy New Year 2016
