Timeline: March 18-27 We took our time getting out the next day, performing personal errands and just generally being lazy. Around late morning we walked over to the Reading Terminal Market to get some lunch, knowing that we wouldn’t be eating dinner until close to 7pm that night. Being a Wednesday, it was much less […]
Timeline: March 18-27 We would change things up on Tuesday as Jim was leaving for home and I’d be moving to an Airbnb rental on Spruce St near 18th, just around the corner from the Monk’s Café. Having arranged for a late checkout, Jim and I pulled away from the hotel at 1pm and I […]
Timeline: March 18-27 Monday, the first full day of the conference would be a busy one, stretching into the evening as we had plans to celebrate the upcoming wedding of James, a former UNCC colleague now happily and successfully integrated into life in South Alabama. Our first order of business in the morning was […]
Timeline: March 18-27 This trip would be another quick hitter, ten days in total, to include a few days at the ACUI Conference in Philadelphia (potentially the last I’ll attend), a day in Baltimore with Nephew Jed, and then two nights on Chincoteague Island where we’d hopefully get to see some wild horses.

Timeline: January 28-31, 2017 The agenda for our last day in Atlanta was simple; head to the Georgia Aquarium and arrive when it opened, thus gaining access to a discounted rate, saving about $10 apiece from the general admission price if we purchased the tickets on-line in advance. Alex printed them out for us […]
Timeline: January 28-31, 2017 Up early as planned on Monday, we left the house a little before 8:30 to walk one-mile to the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site in order to make sure we could get tickets for a tour of his birth home. It was a bracingly cold morning and the walk […]
Timeline: January 28-31, 2017 We had a pretty full day planned for Sunday so we were up and out of the house early, our first stop Stone Mountain Park, an easy thirty minute drive to the eastern outskirts of Atlanta. I’d visited here once before, when I was eleven years old, traveling with my […]
Timeline: January 28-31, 2017 Not content to let grass grow underneath our feet for long, we planned a four-night trip to Atlanta the last weekend in January. We secured lodging through Airbnb in a “1930 Modern Bungalow” with our own bedroom and a private bath. We left early enough Saturday morning to make the anticipated […]
Timeline: December 25, 2016 – January 5, 2017 After a New Year’s Day filled with football playoffs and cooking at the apartment, the four of us went into San Francisco on Monday to the gym, Mission Cliffs, where Jessica and Kris regularly rock climb. We spent an interesting couple of hours there as I watched […]
Timeline: December 25, 2016 – January 5, 2017 Today’s hotel/motel industry has evolved from its early days when what you got when you booked a stay was hopefully a clean room and good night’s sleep. Now most of the places we stay at feature a flat panel TV, refrigerator, often a microwave and universally, some […]
