If you see a guy walking around Cincinnati singing Edelweiss, that’d be me. My youngest daughter Xela is rehearsing for her part as Gretl in the upcoming production of The Sound of Music. It’s playing at The Carnegie in Covington soon. After sitting through 3 or 4 hours a night listening to the rehearsals, the songs… Continue reading The Hills are Alive…

Our travel [un]plans
I’ve alluded to this in some previous posts – we’re getting ready to hit the road and travel for an indefinite period of time. By “we”, I mean me, my wife, and our two daughters, age 7 and 15.

Goodbye (for now) to Downtown Cincinnati
About a month ago we made the decision to leave Cincinnati and head to Southeast Asia in the spring. We love the city of Cincinnati and the friends and relationships we’ve developed here. My wife and I are still young enough to enjoy (and remember) the places we want our children to see, and we’re… Continue reading Goodbye (for now) to Downtown Cincinnati
Hey there.
Glad to see you here at my new digs. I plan to use this site for photography, general travel blogging, and my usual inanity. Stay tuned.
Oh, and turn off your computer. Go do something that makes you or someone else smile…
