What is wrong with me? I spend an entire day with my sister and I don’t take one photo of the two of us together? Much less Greg or Boo or Kristen, the friends we spent the evening with? OK, […]
A few photos of my second day in Nashville, mostly spent in training. Early morning sunrise, supper with Gannett colleagues and after-dinner drinks with my new friend Cherrill. Good times. Related posts: Downtown Nashville: A Walk Hattie’s B’s in […]
Some time to kill before I met my Gannett friends for a reception, I took a nice walk around downtown Nashville. The crowds were pouring out of the Bridgestone Arena after Kentucky won the basketball game (remaining undefeated for the […]

Down by the Filling Station, there’s a bike trail that I think connects to the old State Park in Piermont. If you veer off the bike path into the woods, you can walk along these old pipelines. It’s like walking […]
