Though we are only hours away from the beginning of Chanukah and a whole 12 hours into Christmas, outside it is definitely not a winder wonderland here in St. Louis. It is grey and drizzly and in the 40s. As an antidote, I have published a small set of photos from a warmer time of […]

My Hands Shook with Essential Tremor
My hands have shaken or trembled for years. For instance, I used to be able to solder with confidence. Then I had to concentrate and find workarounds because sometimes the soldering pencil would not stay in exactly the position it needed to be, knocking the wires loose. It had gotten worse over the last couple […]
Centr Multi-Gym Review

STL2ATL Day 13 – a Long Long Day from Winchester, TN to Chattanooga, TN
I bedded down at the end of day 12 to a gorgeous sunset over Tims Ford Lake. I woke up on day 13 and headed out with some trepidation. This ride, from Tims Ford Lake State Park in Winchester, TN up to Sewanee, TN had the climb that was going to be, by far, the […]
