Brilliant autumn days don't come along that often, so I knew I had to get out and enjoy this one.

Eclipse totality: Beyond
Less than a week ago, I drove about two hours into Tennessee to experience the Great American Solar Eclipse in the path of totality . I had seen partial eclipses before, watched the moon take bigger and bigger bites out of the sun. I had made pinhole viewers and taken high school classes outside to … Continue reading Eclipse totality: Beyond
The Just-Right Trip: Healing the energy of 90 days of teaching in a high-poverty middle school
Though it was right on the heels of a difficult 90 days and the teacher in-service days that followed, my trip to what I call "out West" was just what I needed. Maybe it's because it was right on the heels of this challenging time that it was just right.

2013 Retrospective: My first full post-cancer year
I'm looking back tonight at 2013 with a whole lot of gratitude. It was a year of recovery and resuming, of slowly getting back some stamina and learning how to be healthy again. I could measure recovery with my driving trips. How long could I drive without being worn out? How easily could I carry … Continue reading 2013 Retrospective: My first full post-cancer year
A Christmastime Photo Journey to New Hampshire
The holiday season often involves road trips to visit family. I joined the folks on the road this year, a pre-Christmas trek to see my sister and brother-in-law in the frozen Yankee hinterland of New Hampshire. What's different there from here in this part of the South? Well, for one thing, in winter they have … Continue reading A Christmastime Photo Journey to New Hampshire
Barnard Street squares & a bit more
Savannah is a city best experienced on foot. Here are some photos from the last day of my last Savannah trip. I took an afternoon walk down Barnard Street - from Gaston Street to City Market - and took photos of each square. Plus a few other photos, too.
