You Have Some Kind Of Nerve

Weathering Stormy Conditions
I am on vacation this week in Park City, which is about 30 minutes from where I live. So in a way, it’s kind of like a staycation, but without actually being at home.

That was me in 1967. Way before Paul Reubens created his Pee-Wee Herman persona. And while most of us don’t remember what we did when we were 4 years old, looking back at a picture like this makes [...]

Vacation in Park City

“Hello pool… I will be visiting you soon and often”
We own time share at Westgate Park City. It’s a short drive from our house (under 30 minutes with no traffic up Parley’s Canyon) and it’s nice to [...]

Scooter Sunday #13

Still no scooter. How long does it take to order one fucking part? Sheesh! I guess I’ll find out on Tuesday when I call back to see how much longer I must be without by beloved scooter.
