We drove over to the Pacific Ocean yesterday afternoon. Our route took us over the hill via 84; we stopped to grab some sandwiches at the General Store in San Gregorio. From there we drove south, past Pescadero to Pebble Beach, where I took a few photos. We looped back to the north on Bean … Read more
We came up to Kansas City on Saturday to spend time with family and friends. I had the opportunity to take some photos from way up high at the Hyatt Regency hotel and am pretty happy with how they turned out. You can click each image below to see a larger version, or view the … Read more
We recently returned from a combination business and pleasure trip that took us out to northern California. As always, my camera traveled with me. It was a great visit, with a wonderful week spent with my colleagues in Palo Alto, followed by the Drupalcon conference in San Francisco and concluding with a very nice stay … Read more
After 15 days on the road, working and then attending Drupalcon, we’ve come to a nice resting place at the Best Western Timber Cove Lodge at Lake Tahoe. We had originally booked a normal, non-view room, for one night and expected to be located near the front of the property, facing the highway. When we … Read more
We made great time on our way from Lindsborg to Colby, and our GPS showed us a route that went right past Monument Rocks on before reaching Oakley and the final approach to Colby via I-70. Like usual, we started our trip by heading due west on Highway 4. Very nice late afternoon drive! Unfortunately, … Read more

We were walking across the … Read more
I took these photos last Monday, which was the nicer of the 2 days we spent in Lawrence. We enjoyed our little get-away, taking bald eagle photos at Clinton Lake, eating and shopping at the antique mall. To our delight, India Palace offers a delivery service, so we ate in one night. We were also … Read more
The Louvre, the world’s most visited museum, is also one of the world’s largest, housing over 35,000 objects over an area greater than 1/2 million square feet. We visited in the middle of May this year and barely scratched the surface in terms of seeing the available exhibits. The Louvre is definitely worth repeated visits! … Read more
To bed at midnight (5PM CDT) Paris time, and luckily to sleep soon after. Up at six, out of the door by 7:45. Made it to the airport in plenty of time, and had no problems going from CDG to ORD and from there to ICT. It’s now about 5am Paris time (10pm CDT), and … Read more
