We play at least once each day, sometimes twice. Sal and I head to McCormick Park with her “flinger” and extra long leash. We play for 20 minutes or so, me flinging the 2-inch rubber ball and she chasing it. Over the shoulder catches that would make Willie Mays proud. Most days at […]

It had been a lifetime since I had been to see the Winterhaven light displays. And it did not disappoint us. Long gone are the long lines of cars snaking through the small neighborhood of mid century homes. Now you can either ride a trolley, take a hayride wagon or walk. Sal and I opted
Years ago, I worked for a corporate division headquartered in Mukilteo, Washington (State). The general manager’s office had a window with a view of the Olympic Mountain Range.

Attending this festival at the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun Museum was a true immersion in culture. From the art in nthe gallery, to the food being served in the courtyard to the performers on the stage, it truly sucked you in and exposed you to a true southwestern experience. And I finally realized where
In an effort to fill the gap in my routine and exercise needs created by my slowdown in cycling, I’ve found walking and hiking is a great substitute. While my regular, daily walks with Sal help me maintain the basics, I was looking for something that included some socializing while discovering new places in my

It is evident to me every day that I am here in Tucson that this is NOT the town I left 47 years ago. No duh. It is a real community of culture, food, people and art. Especially art. Sal and I are out at least once a day and collecting photos of the art
