Well… recorded live action 🙂 I spent a little time today putting together a few videos from the weekend. I’m not done going through all of the footage yet but I’ve run out of time for the moment so I’ll published what I have gotten to so far. The one I personally like is the […]
Mariposa 2014 – Day 3
The weekend has flown by all too quickly! The weather has been awesome all weekend once we got past the cool Thursday afternoon / eve. It looks like it might be turning tonight though and the forecast has the lightning bolt icon attached to it. We have to hit the road before the big finale […]
Mariposa 2014 – Day 2
All I can say is that the second day was even better than the first, which had been amazing. It started with lots of coffee and socializing. Comparing notes from the day before and talking about what sets, acts and bands we all liked. Then we had a request from the organizers for a #BusesAtMariposa […]
Mariposa 2014 – Day 1
This music festival started over 50 years ago and I’ve never been to it. When it started, people like Gordon Lightfoot and Bob Dylan were just finding their stride. And I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t know nearly enough about the who’s and what’s that make up the history of the festival. […]

Stretching A Little
I’ve said all along that my focus is cycling, that combining my passions of photography and cycling is central to the thought of what I’m interested in. Well… Then writing came along. Still with a cycling focus but a big step out of my comfort zone (Andrea is my comma splice cop! I need one […]
I Never Though It Would Be This Complicated…
I decided to install some upgrades & replace some worn-out parts on my camper, nothing really big but all quite good. The reality is that I always knew it would challenge me and push me past comfort zones. I didn’t expect some of the twists that came my way today though. I’ve handled all the […]
Something to be proud of in Toronto
Rest assured there will be no F@rd content here; he’s a disgrace and a shameful example of everything we should strive to avoid. Instead I’ll simply say that I’m proud Toronto has a respectful culture that celebrates diversity… welcome to Pride Week in Toronto! There will be much celebrating and a group wedding like this […]

Lake Champlain, Wilmington and 2015
Three themes evolved over the past week which revolved around another trip in my camper. This was a shorter one though as it was “only” 1,100 miles in total to upstate New York and back. The reason for going was a bike race that Andrea wanted to compete in. She’s been moving away from the […]
The Idea of Father
The impending arrival of Father’s Day has instilled a mitt-full of thoughts in me, as it generally does every year. It’s not a calendar event I rank very highly, nor do I generally invest much energy in recognizing it. It’s been a long time since I’ve had one (a father), my dad died in 1970 […]
From Basements to Birthdays – 60
