This is a 5-month long series of blog posts that are the entries in my journals written on most evenings as I hiked the Appalachian Trail in 1993. The journal entry appears first — indented — and then any additional commentary from my 15-years-removed perspective follows. 7/30/93 – Fri. Well, a good night’s sleep did […]

Big Brother Locomotion
July 28, 2008
Lest you’re tempted to feel sorry for Benton, keep in mind that he is the resident knots expert in our house these days. In both cases below — both occurring within an hour of each other on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon — Benton came up with the idea as to what to hook up to […]

Digging It at the Playground
July 23, 2008
On Thursday, we discovered a new playground called North Orange Park, about 20 minutes from our house. It was mentioned by a neighbor and was well worth the extra minutes to get there. The park has 2 playscapes, a shady gazebo, a pond, paths you can ride bikes or scooters on, and a big sand […]
Cleveland with the Campbells
July 21, 2008

Here, Larry poses with Alana before hoisting her onto one of the machines. Larry was great sport about heading into the centripital force machine that Carson wanted to […]
