Rick assures me that he likes his pancakes a little “carmelized.” If true, this is good. Or it might be a teeny lie, but one he’s apparently willing to live with because he’s such a sweet monkey punkin’ and doesn’t want to hurt my feelings. Either way, between the capricious gas flame on our 22-year [...]

Unless you’re a blogger (or a blogger couple, a much rarer breed) committed to exposing the more digestible personal foibles of your life… … you’re probably the type of user who prefers to commit your errors in private.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with pursuing the classic “faded barn with cool clouds out the window at 65 mph” vacation shots… … as long as you realize you’ll need to take the side roads to get them. Once off the interstates, you can stumble across some cool photo ops… … and scenery you thought only [...]

Rick’s fabulous mother-in-law, Jane, says that in her latter years, my Granny Lever ate like a baby bird. I always thought this was referring to the quantity of food she ate. After watching this wholesome little family of Turdus migratorius in the eaves of our Teton Valley south porch go through feeding time, I now [...]

We didn’t know if there would be room on the train for Rick’s guitar, so we’d left it at the hotel. Note to selves: narrow-gauge railway trips are a GREAT place to sing “Freight Train Boogie” and “Riding on the City of New Orleans.” In Silverton, we wanted to buy a cheap one for Rick [...]

The line from Durango to Silverton, CO, has been in use since 1881, and there are apparently still enough Inner Children around the country clambering for a ride that we got the last two “Presidential class” seats available on the 9:45 departure. In truth, your Inner Kiddo doesn’t really care which car you ride, although [...]
