This blog is about energy. Not the green kind, not the kind that costs us nearly $4.00 per/gallon, and not the kind created by the enormous wind turbines along the Pacific coast. This one is about my “weekend energy” which now belongs on the side of a milk carton under “MISSING, HAVE YOU SEEN? How [...]
While standing at the end of the driveway last night watching the winds strips the trees of every possible leaf I thought back to a time in our lives when we first moved in with each other. We had just moved into our first apartment in the tiny village of Woods Hole. Believe me when [...]
Autumn. Truly the best time of the year here along the Pacific. Temperatures are nearly perfect during the day while the comforter is needed when bedtime comes. Windows open and full house of women (including the bulldog) and the football game is on with a World Series game on for later in the afternoon. Another [...]
Weekend mornings here along the river have been slow starters for the past ten months or so. Most mornings the girls would sleep in and the trick to keeping them upstairs is to stay away from brewing the morning’s first pot of coffee.

So where do I begin? I’ve been off the blogging effort for a few days now and you know there’s got to be a reason. Actually there have been a number of reasons why I’ve been mute these past few days. The first excuse I’ll provide is my overall tiredness, both physically and spiritually. The [...]
It was Good Friday yesterday. The students were all excused from training to conduct an Earth Day clean up - and I can tell you they did not catch any slack - those kids worked their butts off clearing out, pruning, raking, and general pick up. The campus is in excess of 8000 acres, complete [...]
