The transition to empty nesting was pretty easy for me. I mean I missed not having the twins around, but I was used to them being gone a lot. They travelled a lot during the summer for one thing. Plus, they were so busy the last few years of high school, my time with them kept shrinking. That said, most people have one or more…

Yes, we know we are all about supporting a triathlete emotionally and at races. Many we are happy to do… We support them by NOT telling them this is a crazy sport and the amount of time it takes is nuts.

I have always been a little worried and some call me nuts about doing the best I can for the future of our planet. I recycle and drive as little as possible. While I admit I have a magazine and New York Times subscription, I do not use plastic bottles, I do not have a microwave, and so on. But I know darn well it…

Sitka Alaska is a fabulous town. But I have to confess, we were not expecting much. Like most people who visit, we were there to get on a cruise. Yes, we were one of those people waiting to board a cruise. But our boat was a bit different. We were boarding the Mist Cove with the Boat Company, a twelve cabin ship. We were not on…

I’ve always wanted to go to Boulder Colorado, but it took my husband doing an Ironman race for me to get there. We stayed right downtown just a block from the famous Pearl Street Mall. That meant it was easy walking to shops and restaurants and there are many. That said, it’s also an easy town to get around in driving wise. We happened upon…
