geographically worked out to be a good stopping point for us as we need to get to Aberdeen, Scotland in a few days to fulfill an obligation we made through Trusted Housesitters to take care of a couple of cats for a lovely couple while they travel. When traveling and everything goes smoothly as it has been, guess there always has to be a July 17th type of day! We booked the train to Newcastle an Read on...

Up at 5:30 and out the door with my my Todd Edwards. Michelle runs every morning (I am so proud of her). It was eerily foggy this morning, but that didnt deter us. As we climbed up to the edge of a ridge, we saw deer in between the trees, including an albino deer that frequents the hills here in Braddock Heights! I got my camera out too late, but will be keeping my eyes open and camera ready for Read on...

Of course, I am biased towards Berkeley. After all, I went there as both an undergrad, and for graduate school. Berkeley itself, has changed about 180 degrees since then. In 1964, the area around campus was almost Ivy League in appearance, with preppy mens stores, book stores, Frasers (an upscale home and designer store), and the usual assortment of college related businesses. Today, it is a mess. Read on...
We woke up this morning to a rainy Arnold, MO. It was dark and gloomy when I got up just before 7 AM. Eventually the rain went away, but the clouds stayed for good part of the day. So my photos may not be the best. Because of the weather turning cold, we needed to do some trip management. We had to get some warmer clothing out of our suitcases, which were in the car, and reorganize our night bags Read on...
