The Blue Pig
Last night I did something I rarely do; go to a bar. I’m not much of a drinker, an not the most sociable guy, but when a musician invites you to see his show, you do not turn it down, so I played hooky from work and hit the bar...

The Lazy Lizard has sucked me in
My time here was up at the end of this past weekend, but when it came down to it, I just couldn’t think of another place to go that beat out the Lazy Lizard. It doesn’t help that I am waiting for Conor to arrive next week and I do...
Oops, I swallowed a fish
Another day and another adventure in foods. Harry created yet another masterpiece of a meal and surprised me with it as I sat in the communal area. My experience with our last meal told me not to argue… just smile and accept the gift. Harry lifts a piece of ‘something’...
When Harry met Salad

Manzanar, Chuck, Stop… burger-time!
The days are getting more and more gratifying the longer I am out. This morning i woke from my hot-springs camping and got moving south soon after a eggs and toast breakfast. I figured that I could make it to my next scheduled stop (Manzanar War Relocation Center) and hang...
Dressage at the Pima County Fairgrounds
Yesterday we got new neighbors; Heather and Will backed into the space beside us with horse in tow. As we spoke last night, I found out Heather would be competing in the Dressage competition on Saturday. Since I was planning to take some pictures of the competition anyway, she (and...
