Another walk with good company. Sarah and the team from Beyond manage and present a solid hiking program. This first-of-the-year hike was no exception. Set in the Tucson Mountains west of downtown, the hike starts and finishes at Felix Paseos Park near Gates Pass. A short 20-minute drive from my midtown home, it was an […]

The Mural Dog and I visited a place I’d only heard of while growing up here. In the past I would have cycled to this place (about 10 miles one way from my house), but decided to make it a stroll-and-discover walk with Sal. Our regular weekly trip to the Mercado was postponed due to

It was a nice book-end to the year. A hike on the last day of 2024 as a follow up to my hike on the first day of 2024 Back on January 1, I started the year with a hike of Goat Island Preserve near Dallas. A fun day of discovery and learning new territory

Lately I’ve become a creature of habit. That is, I’ve started to frequent some of the same establishments on the same
I’ve been on this trail many times. Mostly by bike. On foot with Sal is quite different. We were walking on the The Loop in Tucson and found this bench. It was a custom tile bench dedicated to the memory of someone named Sidney Alan Haynes, an obvious parrothead. It was decorated with a margarita

There was always a camera around our house and on our family trips. It was about capturing those moments of shared history. That Kodak 620 laid a foundation of taking pictures. My first camera was a Kodak Brownie 127. Along the way there were others including an Exacta or two, and several Canons. The most

After a fun and change-filled year in 2023, I am again looking forward to an interesting and, hopefully, fun 2024. Unlike last year, I am inclined to do fewer cycling adventures. Partly due to my PTSD-like approach to the two wheelers after multiple falls, the real reason is wanting to remake my life that had
