On the Road Agai 2019, Part One
August 24 – September 6 Towards the end of August, we would kick off what would be full fall season of travel. Before we could start though, we had one more Los Angeles based bit of fun and tourism to do and that was to host a visit with Ann and Rendy as he and […]
Back to the Future – L.A., Part Three
June 10 – TBD Thus, would begin a couple of months of settling in, the house pretty much straightened out and organized as much as it would get, leaving us with free time, a nice place to be after five months of moving and the emotional and physical baggage it brings with it. The first […]

Cycle NC Spring Ride Edenton, Part Two

West Coast Spring 2019, Part Five
April 4 – 15 Our plan for the morning of our return to Oakland was to check out of the Airbnb around 11am and head over to the Leland Stanford Mansion State Historic Park to tour that facility, but fate intervened in the way of a migraine headache Joanna developed soon after awakening. Normally one […]
West Coast Spring 2019, Part Four
April 4 – 15 The next day we set out again for the State Capital but this time used Lyft to get us there and back.
