This road, so busy during the day. A road running from the east foothills all the way to what was orchard lands, a hundred years ago. Now home of The Spaceship. I walk this road most mornings, heading west, only a couple of blocks, with a couple dogs. It's the perfect way to start the …

Into The Twenties
Looking back on the 2000 "Teens", as with any retrospective, there's plenty of positive, and plenty of challenges too. Funny for me as a middle-age dude. to think about laying a firm foundation for the next ten years, the next decade, the future -- but that's how I feel about it, all the same. Our …
