I thought that not only the Lex Babes (you know who are you) but also a few others might be interested in this video I stumbled across today. Just in case you were wondering if you would really like to go for a spin with Lex on his weekend job. This should help you decide.  Don’t [...]

I’ll always love a great hike in the wilderness. Within a few hours of our doorstop we have Yosemite, Lassen Peak and all manner of natural attractions. Truly blessed are we. There was a time when I’d be nuts enough to try to hike El Caminito del Rey, a concrete walkway along a vertical walled gorge in Malaga [...]

[Bumped up, since I've feeling unloved and ignored. *sniffle*] I’m headed to San Antonio, Texas next this weekend (Thursday-Sunday, August 2-5) on Soldiers’ Angels/Valour-IT business. I also have flight layovers in Las Vegas late Wednesday night (2.5 hours. Ugh!) and in Phoenix on Sunday afternoon. Any fellow readers/bloggers/friends out that way who think they could [...]
