Fred's Thoughts and History: January 2012
http://fredmishmash.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Fred's Thoughts and History. A composite of my ramblings, ravings, and occasionally, a thought or two. A Dialog in the Dark Experience. We carefully entered what seemed to be a boat and sat down. The water sounds and the rocking of the boat were realistic. Next, we stood on a curb and listened to the sounds of a busy street before crossing it. Some things that I learned:. Persons with sight who become blind, all have a photo memory of a color ingrained in their brains. By the time our tour was finished, ...

Fred's Thoughts and History. A composite of my ramblings, ravings, and occasionally, a thought or two. Big Boys and Cry Babies. The title would suggest that there are two types here. At this point, I can tell you that they can be one and the same. I know because I am both. Excellent article. I love it! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Fred's Thoughts and History. A composite of my ramblings, ravings, and occasionally, a thought or two. J" and Some New History. J" will be known to a few of you, but to others, she will be a stranger. This piece will be better understood if one reviews the blogs of 24 November 2011 and 13 April 2006. Regardless of this, new information on "J" has come to light that makes for a fascinating addition to her story. I wish that I had more of a timeline to go with this. One day, I may get to ask "J".

Fred's Thoughts and History: October 2010
http://fredmishmash.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Fred's Thoughts and History. A composite of my ramblings, ravings, and occasionally, a thought or two. A Trip to the Grimsel Pass. On the way, we paused in Lungern because the Wetterhorn was in fine shape for a picture, as was the nice lake. Soon, we were at the Grimsel Pass summit. From the parking lot, I was able to see the highest mountain that I ever climbed. The Sidelhorn is 9028 feet above sea level, and it looked a lot harder than it did twelve years ago. Glad not to do that again today. A short r...

Fred's Thoughts and History: November 2010

Fred's Thoughts and History. A composite of my ramblings, ravings, and occasionally, a thought or two. My wife, Barbara, wrote this. It is true, and all of it is her story for which I am thankful on Thanksgiving. Maybe we have more to thankful for than we realize. Grieving the death of a stranger on Thanksgiving Eve. That Thanksgiving and all of the ones since have never been the same for me as those wonderful carefree ones preceding it had been. He was in such a hurry. Why didn’t I wonder why ...Just a ...

Fred's Thoughts and History. A composite of my ramblings, ravings, and occasionally, a thought or two. A visit to the Onion Market in Bern. Of course there is garlic butter bread that is toasted. The small cheese and onion tarts known as Zwiebelkuechen, and lots of spicy Gluhwein. There is no shortage. I didn't Think I Had Been THAT Good! This morning about ten, the doorbell rang. The mailman had come and gone, so I had no clue as to who it was. I go down and what do I find? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://fredmishmash.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Fred's Thoughts and History. A composite of my ramblings, ravings, and occasionally, a thought or two. 21 April, Thursday. Jill, our GPS. The hotel/motel was of interest in itself. It was totally automatic. There was a desk person available for a few hours, but check in, meals ordered, and check out was all done by computer. It wasn't a bad spot for a night. 22 April, Friday. 6th June Restaurant in Arromanches. After a supper of snacks, we all packed it in for the night. Markers at American Cemetery.

Fred's Thoughts and History: A Trip Back and Some New Discoveries
http://fredmishmash.blogspot.com/2014/11/a-trip-back-and-some-new-discoveries.html
Fred's Thoughts and History. A composite of my ramblings, ravings, and occasionally, a thought or two. A Trip Back and Some New Discoveries. Many years ago when Hal Taussig and his wife were running Idyll Untours off a dining room table in their home, one of his aims was to have people interact culturally. Some of of these interactions were done on purpose, but others came about through serendipity. The blog today results from both kinds. About this time, the fun began. The chef came out to greet all...

Fred's Thoughts and History: Running, Then and Now
http://fredmishmash.blogspot.com/2011/12/running-then-and-now.html
Fred's Thoughts and History. A composite of my ramblings, ravings, and occasionally, a thought or two. Running, Then and Now. First, for those that don't know me, I am approaching the age of dirt. I like that, when other choices are considered. I do have a few more senior friends than me (they know who they are). The most senior is 92. As far as I know he is still a walker. I took them home and was partially hooked. Why partially? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.
