my journey, destination unknown
It’s been too long. FAR too long. But today the to do list was blissfully short. The girl was in a good mood. The weather was perfect (41 and sunny). My knee didn’t hurt. So off we went. Chloe, Phelix, and I. I forced them into a small detour; I am quite ignorant of the…
Work is a bit slow at the moment due to the holiday, so I took the time to try a new hike, the Wilburn Farm Trail. As usal, we saw no one the whole time we were out on the trail, which wound up a hill and then into the farm and past a little…
After a brisk and informative walk with Ranger Robby, I drove over to the Cascade Trail to try out the “Roll Project” in black and white. I love the shallow depth of field on many of these, but I think I may have overdone it.
Phelix and I went off to our happy place again today. This time we went “off trail” a bit more that usual in order to try to get a better feel for how everything fits together.
Homework for my Composition class at the Showcase School this week is to “take a roll” of photos. So no deleting. I gave myself one small break … If the pup pulled while I was taking a photo (as he often does), I could delete it. I tried hard to choose interesting subjects and take…
Camille and I just happened to be in NYC on Tonys Sunday, so we stopped by the Beacon Theater to see what all the fuss is about….
Back in August, I stopped in at the Atlanta Botanical Garden to renew our family membership so I would be all set to buy tickets for Chihuly in the Garden. First, we put off going due to the heat. Then we couldn’t find the time with Camille’s play. And then it got to the last…
Who doesn’t love Grand Central? Even when we are not headed off on a train, we make a point of stopping in the station for the architecture, the vibe, the food, and the stores!
Next stop on goal of learning more about Atlanta was Westside Provisions District and Star Provisions. We first tried to eat breakfast at West Egg, but the wait was ano hour long, so we passed on it. Instead, we wandered through the shops and got to Star Provisions, which turned out to be a perfect…
Overcrowded, crazy. Some people avoid it altogether. I hate crowds too, but I always get a thrill out of seeing all the lights and the energy.
A few hours to kill in Manhattan. No new exhibits to see. What do you do? Shop. But shop Camille-style. Books, pens, comics.
When Camille and I planned our trip to NYC in June, our biggest reason for going was to see “Hadestown”! Camille was so thrilled to get to see the play in its short workshop run. And I was enthralled. Good choice. After we made plans to see “Hadestown”. we shopped around for other plays we…
After visiting the Brooklyn Flea Market, Camille and I headed into Manhattan to have lunch at Katz’s Deli. As I am a vegetarian, I wasn’t expecting to eat very much; we were there for the experience. And what an experience! Crowded and confusing, with multiple lines for various foods and drinks. But Camille and I…
The Brooklyn brownstone that Camille and I stayed in on our latest trip to NYC was a block away from the Brooklyn Flea Market. Not the *big* one, but a smaller version, the Fort Greene Flea. Nevertheless, we had a lovely time exploring. I bought a new ring and Camille explored the booths, bought a…

As I researched possible new things to do while in NYC, I looked into the possibility of comic museums. As I searched through the Society of Illustrators website, I saw that there would be an opening of “Point Of Vision: Celebrating Women Artists In Fantasy And Science Fiction”. While there was no mention of whether…
Food in Boston. What comes to mind? Seafood, for sure. Then maybe some continental cuisines? We spend our one evening in Boston in Chinatwon, enjoying the Lantern Festival and the food. First stop was bubble tea (they were out of bubbles) and cake from the 101 Bakery. The cake was cute Camille could barely bring…
From The Cloisters, we headed back down and walked across the park to The MET. By that time, we were hungry, and the spots in the park had terrible vegetarian choices. We chose to eat at the museum cafeteria instead – not very good and incredibly expensive. I need to do a better job of…
While I love living in a small town (today I pulled up next to a friend at a red light and rolled down my window to wish her a happy birthday — small town), but I also live in a big city. This was not the big city I dreamed of living in. Growing up…
