Fleeting Memory

Ahh, Heli Expo is now a fleeting memory. Wouldn’t you know I hauled my camera all the way to Houston, all over the expo hall, and only took a handful of photos because I was sadly uninspired. And would you also know the only photo I published was this one, taken my my iPhone. Light, […]

Back, and So Happy

Finally, I’m home from the annual Heli Expo. For the first time in my 14 years of attending these things the thrill of it never really hit me. I blame my children, entirely. I missed them from the moment I walked out the door until I walked back in six hours short of five days […]

Heli Expo

I’ve been at the annual Heli Expo, the world’s premiere helicopter convention, and so far I’ve learned two things. 1. I’m getting too old for this. 2. Some things change while others don’t. I used to be so psyched to come here and party every year. Now I’m just happy to relax with my pals […]

The Internet is a great place to learn all kinds of things, get answers to your most pressing questions, get great ideas, make friends, lose yourself and be entertained. But it can also be a nasty, praying, wicked thing that can take you down like a lioness does a lame wildebeest. Sometimes it isn’t so […]

Signs of Aging

in Daily Ramblings

A lot of people mark their aging by their wrinkles, gray hairs, and the magnification power of their reading glasses . Others may count those extra pounds sneaking in on the “old age” places (hips on the ladies, beer gut on the boys) or the number of nose, ear and back hairs that have appeared. […]

Scary Parenting Moment

I think Sound Transit is hoping to offset its deficit with child trafficking. No, seriously. Hear me out. If I hadn’t have heard about a mom and child becoming separated when a light rail train doors closed before mom could follow her child out the door, I’d not have been super vigilant the two times […]
