Long Drives To Nowhere. A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving." Lao Tzu. Thursday, December 27, 2007. I know I'm a little late, but I'm still in the Christmas spirit.). I grew up believing in Santa. One Christmas Eve when I was very young, my brother and I heard him knock over an ashtray in the living room. We didn’t get out of bed though – we were too afraid. We knew he only came once we were asleep, and we didn’t want him to catch us awake. No reindeer on the roof. 8220;You c...

Funny… choosing which 45’s to play and in which order was kind of like making a mixed tape. These 45’s were my favorites as a young kid in the 70’s:. No Sugar – The Guess Who. My big br...

Long Drives To Nowhere. A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving." Lao Tzu. Thursday, June 28, 2007. I chose the theme over at The Round Robin Photo Challenges. This week: Focus on the Details! Sometimes when I'm feeling not-so-inpired to take photos, I find that I just have to look a little closer. Zooming in on something can reveal interesting details that you may not notice at first glance. And I like how the color weathered around the old hinges. The moment one gives close att...
