The Miami Marathon was held on Sunday, Jan. 27 and I was happy to be a part of it. I have been travelling to Miami during the same dates for the past several years and always wanted to run in this event. This year I decided to fly in a couple of days early and — Continue reading »
Electric Cars To Make Noise
📆 January 9, 2013
I don't like government regulation much but there are areas that concern health and safety where government regulation may not be a bad thing.

📆 June 7, 2010
Hard to believe that I've had a jewel of a hike within a walking distance of my house (where I've lived for year) and I hadn't been to the top of it until a only few of weeks ago. This is a part of a parcel of land that my hometown, Ridgefield, CT, took from — Continue reading »
