Buckeye Trail, Brecksville OH
Got out into the sun today. Last fall I hiked from the Brecksville Reservation Nature Center to Deer Lick cave and around. Today I discovered how to get to Deer Lick Cave from another parking lot – Station Road Bridge. Ended up walking just over 5 mi. with Billie. I had to get back for…
Happy April Fools Day Gran
Today marks an important day in my life, a day that I learned that humor and laughter can go a long way with regard to making people feel better. About 40 years ago-ish I sent an April Fools Day phone call down the hill to my grandparents house (Gran and Pop to us locals) with…
U2 and time
Red Hill Mining Town (U2, The Joshua Tree, 1987) just crossed through on Spotify and I was immediately taken back over 20 years. Living in SW Washington state at that time, I graduated college in the early 2000’s and was on a massive U2 kick on that point in my life. Red Hill Mining Town…

The lack of rom-coms
Stories like this make me wonder… what’s changed in society that rom-coms – as in romantic comedies – are no longer a significant part of American culture? Superhero movies are indeed the ticket. They’re literally filming another Superman movie right here in Cleveland as I write this. As an individual who loves to create and…
The good ol’ HDC fault
Gassed up and full of twine and the fam, we were headed to the Christmas tree farm about 45 minutes away from the house when – a whole 10 minutes away – Ginny (2008 L322 HSE) lurched and filled the dash with her own version of a lit-up Christmas tree. Is it…. a tail light?…
