State-Side Once Again
Ah, back in the states. I guess there weren't nearly as many obvious adjustments to make as I expected there would be. It felt pretty normal to be back. Part of the problem is that I suffer from a bit of culture shock each time I come back to Westchester ...

Salem Witch Trials

California to Oregon

Lake Jocassee
Kayaking on Lake Jocassee. She was calm and clear, visibility was at least 30 ft that day. As the storm picked up she got rugged and moody. What a fun adventure. The camp spot was so sweet, tucked way back in the woods. I went with a friend, so we could ...
Slovenly Sabbath

Getting Ready

Mystery of History
