Spring Valley 

Spring Valley 

Today was a travel day but not too long a one. We lingered in Lebanon for a while. Gave a T@B-400 tour. Made some phone calls. Got on the road by noon. Made a couple of stops. At a rest area we found a geocache that had previously eluded us! We chose Spring Valley...

And the Shoe Fits

And the Shoe Fits

The search for the perfect shoe has yielded success! A pair of Ahnu Montara IIs have served Karen well for nearly two years of daily wear. They're waterproof but breathable, comfortable and stable. They look good enough for city streets and perform well on back...

Heading South

As we’ve gone about establishing residency in northeastern Ohio this past month, the subject of cold winter weather has repeatedly come up. Our response has been to quip, “Yes, but we have an escape pod. We intend to head south.” The time has come. We’ve successfully...
