Above: Not me and not my dog, but yeah … it kinda sums it up. On 02/12/2021, after close to 44 years of work, I retired. That word means a lot to me. After I announced my impending retirement at work, a co-worker and I were talking about something and they said to me,“Well, what... Continue Reading →
As you can probably tell by now, I'm struggling a bit with the design of this Word Press format (called Baskerville2). I love it's simplicity and ease of operation, but the banner at the top is too narrow in height to fulfill my sense of artistic expression (that's a nice way of me saying I... Continue Reading →
I've recently relaunched this blog to focus a little bit more on writing. Previously it was more of a showcase for my photos and that will still be the case. Just about every photo or image you see on this blog will be of my creation, unless otherwise noted. One thing I hope to do... Continue Reading →

I am currently taking a break from this blog. It is one of my fondest wishes that at some point, in the near future, I can devote more time to writing and photo-posting here, but right now that's just not possible. For those of you nice enough to follow me, thank you for your attention.... Continue Reading →

This sprawling warehouse dedicated to all things train and railroad, from actual trains and engines to the most minute bit of train travel items is a must-see day out if you're in the York area. Beautifully laid-out and curated, this museum appeals to everyone, even if you've never... Continue Reading →
One of the beautiful shopping arcades in Leeds. I love these venerable old buildings, the world's first indoor shopping malls, I suppose (although any market could be categorized as a "mall" when you think of it). I especially love them when they're all gussied up with holiday decorations. I'm hoping my upcoming trip will include... Continue Reading →
Another British river, but this time from York. I loved York on my first visit ... it's winding cobblestone streets made me feel like I was walking on history every step of the way. I also really enjoyed the remaining segments of the Roman wall around the city and walked all 3 of them. I'm... Continue Reading →
I love this view from the Southbank area of London, looking past the restored OXO building to St. Paul's Cathedral and beyond. This is my favorite part of London, from about Westminster Bridge all the way up to the Tower Bridge. This photo is also at high tide for the Thames. And, oh! Those Clouds... Continue Reading →
While Parliament seems mired in confusion and disarray these days, there's always a glimmer of hope when you see this statue of Winston Churchill outside of that august assembly of buildings. Maybe someday soon a Churchill-like figure will rise to unite the country again and displace the blond-headed bozo currently masquerading as PM. That's enough... Continue Reading →
