BACK IN THE SADDLE

Hike of a lifetime

It could be the hike of a lifetime.

Music for the road

If you have trouble finding me these days, chances are I’m somewhere on county road 400 South.

The past in music

The lyrics coming from the other room weren’t exactly the sort of stuff that flowed from Shakespeare’s pen.

Squirrels are ungrateful

When did the squirrels turn against me?

Longing for the new scarf

That clicking you hear in the background is my wife’s knitting needles.

Caution: Column is contagious?

Maybe this column should be sprayed with Lysol before reading any further.

Back to school

At least the professor can’t call on me.

Geographic memories

Sometimes it seems as if I have a whole, separate geography stuck in my memory: Places that used to be but now have disappeared, existing only as ghosts.

Trip not in plans this spring

The email was from my friend Bill Wilson.

Making it his 'home'

Along with “fiscal cliff” and “sequestration,” the most overused expression of 2013 has to be “man cave.”

Technology has us in a rush

The Jay School Board’s recent discussion about changing the high school’s cellphone policy had me feeling old.

Booms in the night

Apparently, I’ve reached that stage in life when I’m hearing things.

The blink of an eye

The thing about clichés is that they get to be clichés because they’re true.

ESPN of the era

Okay, so maybe we were paid with something more than Cokes. But not much more.

Surviving or thriving

Maybe I should have been red-shirted.
