I had connectivity problems last night so I was not able to blog. Yesterday I had a lovely drive down backroads from VT to Westchester (Brewster). I drove 50-55 mph and just soaked int he beautiful scenery. I arrived in Brewster for dinner with an friend. It was wonderful to catch up on the evolutionContinue reading “I entered the 50’s down the street from Ozzie and Harriet”

Sadly this is my last full day in Vermont. It was a beautiful morning and I had the opportunity to read in a couple of different beautiful locations. I think I did more admiring of nature than reading. This pond is on the property and the little “camping” cabin on Heron Pond is available onContinue reading “Kaya-boarding – a new sport”

Another beautiful day ended with a movie, Together Together, in the Latches Theater in downtown Brattleboro, VT. It seemed like a pretty ideal circumstance to see a movie – in a small. old theater in a small town in a highly vaccinated state on a Monday night. There were 4 of us in the theaterContinue reading “A movie in a theater”

Today was cooler and we set out for our ride along the Green River around 1130 AM. The temperature was in the 70s and it was partly cloudy. This is the weather I was expecting. It was a lovely ride with many people enjoying the river and the properties were very interesting along the road.Continue reading “It has happened – I am my mother”

I borrowed a helmet and took off on my bike this morning to see what I could do on the side of this big hill. The house is up a hill on packed dirt/gravel. It was fine going down with a few places of loose dirt/gravel. I negotiated that fine and got to the pavementContinue reading “I have never worked so hard for 10 miles of cycling”

As I was falling asleep last night I suddenly realized I didn’t remember putting my bike helmet in the car as I was packing up. in Margate City. I should have had it on the handlebars to avoid this but I had laid it on a stack of old cushions inside the garage. Yesterday morningContinue reading “Going to have to start using checklists”

Today was a travel day. I had a lovely walk on the boardwalk next to Atlantic Ocean in the middle of a relaxing morning. At 2 PM I loaded up and took off for Brattleboro, VT. There was about 30 minutes of slow traffic on Garden State Parkway south and west of NYC but overallContinue reading “Atlantic Ocean to Green Mountains”

Yesterday turned out to be a less active day because of a neck spasm. I was able to walk on the Boardwalk in late afternoon after a 5 hour nap. Today my neck was much better and I got out on my bicycle by 1030 AM. I decided to ride south to Ocean City, NJ.Continue reading “A perfect day of cycling”

Margate City is the second town south of Atlantic City. I am currently staying in Marven Gardens – a piece on the Monopoly Board. It is in the very north part of Margate. The Atlantic City boardwalk extends just beyond Ventor into Margate. Today I cycled from here to the north end of the boardwalkContinue reading “Atlantic City boardwalk – 50 years later”

I made it out of Center City Philly without incident. I drove to the address that I used to live and it was as it seemed from afar yesterday – the building had been updated and a new section added. I drove along Kelly Drive but did not go all the way to 3300 HenryContinue reading “Picking up where we left off 19 years ago”
