Hiking in Golden Gate Canyon State Park in the foothills of the Rockies. Gorgeous.
We had a gorgeous double-rainbow over our neighborhood this evening: It’d be overkill to get all “small and passing thing” about this: NCAA scholarship restrictions and bowl bans are not equivalent to the great Shadow of evil, beyond whose reach is much “light and high beauty” like this rainbow. Even so, it was a refreshing sight at the end of… Read more »

In the course of this, I took the following picture of an item that refers to… Read more »
In honor of the recent political chaos in Connecticut — land of Richard “Misplaced Words” Blumenthal and Susan “Active Practice (NOT!)” Bysiewicz — I have, as you can see, put up a new blog masthead, above, showing the beautiful view of the State Capitol from the ninth-floor room at the Holiday Inn Express where Becky, the girls and I stayed… Read more »

I took the photo Sunday at the Museum of Nature and Science, whose atrium has one of the most breathtaking views of the city you’ll find. More pics here, including the full panorama shown (in part) in the masthead.

For Labor Day, I went with Becky & the girls up into the Rocky Mountains. We stopped initially at Lair o’ the Bear Park, where Loyette had a grand old time running around, getting dirty in the mud, and getting soaked in the stream. Then we headed down Route 103 to Echo Lake (where we stopped for a picnic lunch)… Read more »
