My Own Private Idaho: July 2014
http://wwwmyownprivateidaho.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
My Own Private Idaho. Wednesday, July 2, 2014. Last Post From Scotland - Random Photos. BT supports cycling; but roads too narrow. Abandoned cupola in the countryside. Beached boat at Castle Maol, Isle of Skye. Old photo of Castle Maol. Didn't have ice cream, but did have cullen skink. For people who plan to be cremated, we visited a lot of graveyards. Laggan Dam on Loch Laggan. Eilean Donan Castle, major tourist trap. Feeding ducks on Caledonian Canal. Glen Elg rotary car ferry. Lamb on a rock.

My Own Private Idaho: December 2013
http://wwwmyownprivateidaho.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
My Own Private Idaho. Thursday, December 19, 2013. And going through withdrawal. My bike has gone to meet its maker. Literally. I've sent it back to Bill Davidson in Seattle to see if he can convert the titanium road bike he made me in 1995 to handle Shimano electronic shifting - the result of the July bike crash that's left my right thumb unable to use Campagnolo mechanical shifting. Just like my Crescent. Very similar to my Fuji. OK, but what's with the seat post length? Thanks to the local bike shops ...

My Own Private Idaho: Things That Go Beep
http://wwwmyownprivateidaho.blogspot.com/2014/12/things-that-go-beep.html
My Own Private Idaho. Thursday, December 11, 2014. Things That Go Beep. Last night, Karen woke me from a deep sleep. "Something's beeping," she said. I didn't hear it, turned over, and went back to sleep. Repeat. Repeat again, but this time I heard it. After shuffling around the house for about 15 minutes, I figured out what it was. That got me thinking about things that go "beep," and there are way too many for my liking:. The refrigerator (when door stays open). The microwave oven (when you do anything).

My Own Private Idaho: Tropical Scotland
http://wwwmyownprivateidaho.blogspot.com/2014/06/tropical-scotland.html
My Own Private Idaho. Thursday, June 26, 2014. On our first visit to the United Kingdom, we spent a week in Cornwall, the southernmost peninsula of the island. We were surprised to see palm trees, apparently enabled by Gulf Stream warming. That said, we never expected to see palm trees in Scotland. Boat house with sea eagle sculpture. Sail boats in Plockton harbor. Kayakers in wet suits. Plockton's newspaper and gift shop. Support for Scottish independence. National Trust for Scotland.

My Own Private Idaho: "This Country Was Their Training Ground"
http://wwwmyownprivateidaho.blogspot.com/2014/06/this-country-was-their-training-ground.html
My Own Private Idaho. Tuesday, June 24, 2014. This Country Was Their Training Ground". Near the memorial itself is the Area of Remembrance, an open circle of tributes to commandos in more recent wars. Many bear the commando logo, the Fairbairn-Sykes fighting knife; some bear photographs, unit crests, artificial poppies, whiskey bottles, and flags. June 25, 2014 at 6:00 PM. Oh lord, that is so poignant. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. This Country Was Their Training Ground.

My Own Private Idaho: December 2014

My Own Private Idaho. Wednesday, December 17, 2014. I began to believe that Armstrong was a doper, a bully, a liar, and a cheat. I stopped watching professional cycling for a few years and cancelled my subscriptions to magazines that covered professional cycling. I rode for fitness; I rode for fun. In 2009, five years after my cancer surgery, I removed my Livestrong band. Thursday, December 11, 2014. Things That Go Beep. Last night, Karen woke me from a deep sleep.

My Own Private Idaho: September 2014
http://wwwmyownprivateidaho.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
My Own Private Idaho. Wednesday, September 17, 2014. I spoke today with my old friend, Andrew. Tomorrow is his 64th birthday. Normally, we exchange life updates by e-mail, but today just seemed right. Karen and I lived in Crofton, Maryland, and Andrew and his wife would come for dinner, or we'd see them in Virginia. We both worked in Washington for a while, and we'd get together for lunch in the District. And it will be good. Like old times, I hope. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
