Chicago!
Thursday Sept. 3rd, Amy, Mom and I took the train to Chicago. We were headed to "JuneCon," a night of celebration by our favorite online game, June's Journey. The event was on Friday night, so we had time to do some stuff beforehand. The train was an hour late leaving Springfield. I'd gotten us seats on the first floor, the Assisted section, because Mom didn't want to have to make her way up the narrow stairway with her bad arm.

Lester running amuck while I was away
But first, MAY!!! How have I not had any free time, as usual? Anyway, here's the short tale of Les Paul while Mom and I were in Florida way, way back in February. We left on Feb. 24th and arrived in...
Running and Flying
I got up even earlier to go for one last run on Saturday March 1st. I was out the door at the crack of 9 a.m. Pelicans were lined up along the seawall while across the way workers worked on...
Another sunset in paradise…
Friday evening, Feb. 28th, we'd left the beach for a bit to cruise the shopping in Venice one more time, and afterwards drove down to the end of our beach for a different vantage point. Plenty of...
Florida Friday
On our last full day in Venice, I got up at a reasonable hour and sat on the porch drinking my tea before going out. Great way to start the day. As I got ready to go to the beach to run, I found...
