The Confederation Bridge
This weekend I finally made it to my twelfth Canadian province (only Nunavut remains) when I drove across the Confederation Bridge into Prince Edward Island (see also here). The bridge is seven miles long, 40-60 meters (about 131 to 196 … Continue reading
My Favorite Player in the NFL Hall of Fame
My first football hero, Larry Brown, Jr., is still my favorite player. He didn’t stay healthy enough to actually be elected to the NFL Hall of Fame, but if they’d had the medical technology they do now he might have … Continue reading
A New Record! For This Trip, Anyway.

Oakland/Berkeley/San Francisco
Today I stopped in to Berkeley and Oakland to see family. I didn’t actually see the Bay on this trip except a glimpse as I was coming over the hill towards upper Berkeley. I always love visiting, swing dancing, hitting … Continue reading
Yosemite
Yup, geology is interesting.
The Spruce Goose and Crater Lake
