OK, what’s the big fuss? I thought, as I sat there at a stop light with a motorcycle policeman looking directly into my rear-view mirror and therefore my eyes.
I was about to find out.
Sure enough, as soon as the light turned green, on went his lights and siren.
“Great,” I muttered to myself.
He casually followed me as I changed into the right-hand lane and turned into a bank parking lot, pulling up behind me as I searched for my insurance card and registration.
As he…

Whenever I travel internationally, I always like to have most of my logistics figured out before arrival. This leaves for more time touring and exploring. Frequently, I visit Europe that has become very easy for international travelers. China, on the other hand, is going to be a bit more challenging. Here is what I’m going to prepare.

In late June, I was invited to a photography seminar at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. The weeklong visit allowed the opportunity for professionals and "pro-amateurs" to perfect our sport photography technique by photographing some the USA's best athletes. This jarred my enthusiasm to attend the Olympics in person.
Admittedly, my travel arrangements seemed last minute with the event less than 8 weeks away. However a fellow photographer I met at the seminar and I…

ok, so I have started (or have I) an online parents group. I hope that people will join. I have invited quite a few. I want this area to be a safe space, without judgement, or anger. I don't know how well this will work out but hopefully it will go well.
Just ate dinner...starting to feel sleepy. =)

Today, the Phillies played the Mariners in a Monarch Little League matchup at Cleo West field in Louisville. The game started out close and remained that way for the duration of play - a perfect match. At the end of it all, the Mariners came out the winners by only 2 runs.
It was a fun game for both sides, and both teams played great defense and offense. Interestingly, the umpires cracked down a
lot more than usual on players leaving to steal a base before the…

Finding kids clothes that are both stylish and sustainably made is next to impossible. Sure a few organic lines have popped up to provide organic clothes and pjs for newborns, but what about toddlers and up? The creators at Ugly Fish experienced the same dilemma and a new generation of clothing was born. Ugly Fish clothes are neither ugly nor fish-like, but similar to their Angler Fish icon, they are highly evolved!Highly evolved you say? Well, perhaps clever is a better descriptor. The clever…

Thank you to all the volunteers who make…
