Just about a year ago, I was counting down the moments to the most momentous trip I’ve ever taken: 11 days in the United Kingdom, including Leeds and London. I had first visited London in October 2006 and I fell in love with the city. I couldn’t wait to go back, but time and life... Continue Reading →
7 Days in New York City, Part Four: Everything Else …
Concluding my run of photos from my New York City trip, October 17-24, 2015. Here's my final post of photos from my New York City trip earlier this month, including a trip through Grand Central Marketplace (cupcakes, Halloween cakes, fruits and nuts, spices!) and some nighttime shots throughout the city, including the all-important food carts....

7 Days in New York City, Part Three: Central Park …
Continuing my run of photos from my New York City trip, October 17-24, 2015. I spent part of one day in NYC in Central Park, roaming through the southern-most region, from around the Plaza Hotel and Columbus Circle, on opposing east/west sides, and up to about 72nd Street in the Park itself. I love Central... Continue Reading →
7 Days in New York City, Part Two: The High Line …
Continuing my run of photos from my New York City trip, October 17-24, 2015. One of my favorite spots in New York City is the High Line, the old abandoned elevated railway track that has been re-purposed into a park and walkway along the lower west side of Manhattan. I think I've visited now at... Continue Reading →
7 Days in New York City: Part One …
I spent seven (count 'em, 7) wonderful days in New York City from Saturday, October 17 through Saturday, October 24. With perfect fall-like weather most days (read: cool and breezy), I had my best trip to NYC ever, and I've been going there for almost 45 years now. The city constantly amazes me and every...

New York, New York …
Some of my favorite photos that I took in New York City over the past decade or so, including that early-blooming (or dying) tree in Central Park and the ubiquitous Nathan's French fries fork. I have been thinking a lot lately about New York City, mainly because I’m going there in a few days for... Continue Reading →
Neither Here Nor There …
I took some time off last week (in fact, a whole week) and did a little bit of traveling. I visited Seattle (as the above lovely photo shows) for a few days. I wanted to visit this city for once without a comics convention to go to ... because it's a great city, and I'm... Continue Reading →
Yesterday’s Walk: 8.21 miles …
I started September out with a bang and a long (8.21 miles) Thursday afternoon walk, which included a lap around the San Diego Convention Center and a final look at the Art of Comic-Con gallery exhibition at the downtown San Diego Central Library, which closes on Sunday, 9/6. This mural was spotted just north of... Continue Reading →
Today’s Walk: 8.27 miles …
I walk ... a lot. Last year I walked just a smidgen over 900 miles. For the most part, these are walks that are calculated to be just me out there walking, with the exception of work-related days where I walk all over Convention Centers in Southern California and rack up 10, 12, 13 miles...
