Planning the Vacation Part IV – More into Yellowstone

  Few things I have learned: The Yellowstone Insider Web Site is a great resource.  The star ratings on this page is from this site, and I quote some of the text.  For more detailed information about things to see at Yellowstone you definitely want to go there.  Jackson Hole is spendy.  We just picked [...]

Discussion Log: A Banquet of Consequences – Karma from July 29th

The discussion tonight was so much fun that I know I will definitely be missing it the next two weeks.  I could go on an on about how really great an experience this all has been, but I probably do that in every discussion post. Friends in attendance were: Dogen Coldstream, Renwick Tomsen, Danaeah Ballinger, [...]

The Peace Chain – Peace from Around the World

While writing a post about the fortunes found in Baci chocolates, and my weird habit of keeping fortunes and giving them away, I thought about another thing I have come across.  It was something that I was so impressed with that I do sort of the same thing as with my little fortunes.

Planning a Vacation Part II: How Many Days in Yellowstone?

Ok… now for the beginning of plan B.  Trying to get a high level plan for this trip. This was plan B, but we are slimming it down a little bit more: Our hopes of Colorado scenic routes are not quite dashed but almost.  The plan below cuts may cut a bit more off here; [...]

Things to Be Happy About: Flowers, Friends, Chocolates and …

I was driving home from dropping my car off at the dealership. Mind you, I have already spent over two grand on my car this year to fix it. This last problem, which makes driving very exciting, makes the car just die mid ride. Yup, even at highway speeds. No sputter, no twitch, just a [...]

More Gardening Sound: Superunknown by Soundgarden

I love the name sound garden, and it fits here, because by calling it that I can actually say I did some gardening this weekend… smiles…. – DV – I love music with off beats. Being a wanna-be drummer I tend to find myself drawn to “drum songs”.  I noticed that once while making a [...]
