Soon leaving Kansas for the Colorado border. In the distance I can see the Rockies, all snow-topped. Lovely sight ( Read more... )

Heading west after several wonderful days. First a couple of days of adventuring in and around Boston--I'd thought that I wouldn't get to see Boston at all this year, but the friends I was with suggested Bunker Hill and environs.

We went to see Revenge of the Sith. I will join those who feel it unfortunate, not to say the least, that ( Read more... )
