Outer Banks and More, Bodie Island Part One
June 3-7 After sending Carolyn off to Birmingham with a nice breakfast, chores and errands to accomplish Monday morning kept us from hitting the road for Blacksburg until early afternoon. It took us just about four hours to make the drive and we arrived on campus at Virginia Tech to pick up my registration packet […]
Outer Banks and More, Blacksburg
May 30 – June 14 Elements of this trip kept changing as we got closer to taking off, and we would continue to make plans on the fly as we went, much as we did in Europe last year. The impetus for it was a facilities management conference sponsored by ACUI and APPA at Virginia […]
Pilot Mountain Campout
April 30 – May 3 One of our goals for the year was to try to do more local camping. We’d discussed doing so with Sarah and Hans and finally an opportunity presented it self, the first weekend of May at Pilot Mountain, a North Carolina State Park. Located about 90 minutes north of Charlotte […]

Unfortunately like most good bike clothing, they were a bit more than I wanted to spend at that time. I instead opted for a […]
ACUI San Antonio – A Little Taste of Texas, Part Three
April 4-17 Late in the week we’d connected with Dave again and arranged to meet at their place on Saturday to ride our bikes on the north section of the Salado Creek Greenway. We arrived late in the morning and after unloading the bikes from the car took off to ride the few blocks to […]
ACUI San Antonio – A Little Taste of Texas, Part Two
April 4-17 The weather cleared up briefly the next day giving us an opportunity to catch a bike ride, get the car washed and then later meet up with an old friend. It had been warm and muggy when we arrived the night before and this continued on into the next day, so after breakfast […]
ACUI San Antonio – A Little Taste of Texas
April 4-17 I’d been contemplating attending the annual ACUI Conference in San Antonio since last fall, and after some deliberation and talking with my former boss Jim, decided to give it a go, particularly since neither Joanna or I had spent any time in Texas. We both viewed it as an opportunity to introduce ourselves […]
