BACK IN THE SADDLE

With aging comes some struggles

You know you’re dealing with an old friend when the first words out of her mouth are, “How’s the dog?”

Backyard ‘zoo’ livened up gray day

“I feel like I’m in a zoo,” I told my wife over a bowl of soup.

Cat could not be blamed for keys

The black cat crossed my path in Markle.

Sometimes we need a superhero

“The dam has broken,” said the voice on the phone.

Jack wasn’t a fan of the new name

What’s in a name? Not much, maybe. But the wrong moniker at the wrong time can be a little jarring.

Grand-neighbor title worked well

No, I'm not a grandfather. At least not yet. One of the joys — and trials — of small town life is how close we are together.

The vanity plates caught my eye.

Conkling was an incredible friend

Back in the Saddle

Economists insist that new technology results in productivity gains. And that’s probably true in the long run.

Chicago trips opened up the world

When did we start treating our children like hothouse plants?

Fire photos didn’t require footwear

It was a Friday night just a couple of weeks ago.

Take a trip to California, virtually

Settle in. Take off your shoes. I’m just back from a whirlwind gig in San Francisco and have some images to share.
