I went ahead and did it – I cut up my second-to-last credit card [that is, of the ones that will go away - we will be keeping one Amex and one Visa just in case] – the Discover. We never used it and it was a rather tempting card since they would let me [...]

If only it were a wee bit warmer, I’d be able to ride my bike. If only I were a whole LOT richer, we’d be able to afford a house in Northern Virginia. Soon, we will be debt free – a process that began once I realized how much money I owed. Laura has been [...]

After a week without the bike, riding it home today in the high-40s temperature was wonderful. Taking it in for service fixed one minor nuisance issue [like my battery not lasting long enough] and one very large one. It seems that some time in the last few months, a small “rodent” [of what type, I'll [...]

Okay – so I’ve not posted for a while, I know. I’ve been a bit busy with other things and haven’t had a chance until now to post. I’ve been bike-less now for a week since I took my motorcycle in for service. The one thing they needed to replace is the battery – and [...]

I am certainly enjoying the weather today – even with the wind. It’s a balmy 55 degrees outside and PERFECT for riding. As long as the rain that’s supposed to come waits until late evening, I’ll be great. Of coruse, after today, it’s supposed to get freezing again. Now that all the snow is gone, [...]

Here I am, up late again taking pictures and posting them. I’ve gotten my new Canon EOS 5D and it is truly amazing. There are tons of features to play with and much to learn, but I’ve already had some fun with long exposures. Check these out: and: Looks like I have a whole new [...]

So I missed a day in my postings – big deal! Okay, I guess I’m feeling the pressure from family to keep the posts coming more frequently. And, no – no pictures today. Anyway, today, my new camera gets delivered. I’m totally hyped. I keep refreshing the UPS Package Tracking page… I will try to [...]

I can’t believe I was so excited about shoveling snow. Well, I had my fix for a while. I had to shovel perhaps for about an hour even in my short driveway. Part of that is because the plows came into our neighborhood and plowed the streets… which meant that the plow pushed a huge [...]

Here are some pictures [in the same album, but in daylight] from this morning once the sun was up. I’ll still be going to the store later to get my film developed. And now, I get to shovel the driveway! Yee-haw! Hey – I’ve never done that before, so it’s kind of exciting. Mike, you’ll [...]

Here it is: the first big snow of the year. Yes, I know it’s 3am, but I’m still awake and you can get some great pictures at night if you have the right camera – not to mention the fact that with all the snow outside, it looks almost bright even so late at night. [...]
