Miami Wedding

Wedding Ceremony
In Feb 08 we attended a nephew's wedding in Miami, Florida. He is of Trinidadian heritage and the bride of Cuban heritage. The music at the reception was great! It was dark but I recorded a videoclip or two to at least catch some of the rhythms. My current favorite song, Kenny G's Sax-O-Loco, had just been released and I don't remember hearing it at the reception.
Ray and Ercoupes

A Pleasant Surprise - College Park Aviation Museum

In Nov 07 I survived another birthday (BTW, thanks to all my thoughtful friends and VT associates for the birthday greetings) and business took me to College Park, Maryland. I knew that the University of Maryland was located there but I had no idea that College Park played such an important role in aviation history. Most of my tips on College Park are about the College Park Aviation Museum. The museum had special meaning to me personally because it connected me to the history of the Ercoupe, a small plane that my mom and dad owned when I was a boy. It turns out that the Ercoupe was manufactured in College Park.

Alaska - A Trip to the Kenai Peninsula and Bethel

Got back from Alaska on 17 Aug 07. There was some bad weather and I did not get to do some of the things I had planned, but I had fun anyway. I have finished my tips. They include Bethel, Homer, Seldovia, Kenai, Ninilchik, Happy Valley, Anchor Point, Nikolaevsk, Cooper Landing, Girdwood, Hope, Anchorage, and Seward. I also have some general things along the Seward and Sterling highways that I'll put on my Alaska page since I could not figure out any other way to locate them on VT. Wow, the VT Artists Retreat in Questa was more than a year ago (Labor Day weekend). Time definitely flies!
My Crabs

Now I Have Crabs! Oooops, I mean kids in crab hats

In September 2005 I went to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where I attended my 45th high school reunion, and Boston, Massachusetts, where I took a reengineering class from Michael Hammer and got these crab hats for my grandkids. Okay, okay, they are lobster hats but that does not sound as funny. Any classmates that come here and want to see some reunion pictures should go to my Tulsa travelogues.

About Me

I was born in Oklahoma but have lived in Albuquerque, NM, for several years. I am a physicist by education but do systems engineering now. My hobbies include growing grapes, fishing, wildflowers, and palmistry. I am very proud of my twin granddaughters and grandson. I love to travel, meet people and experience the way they live. I truly believe that work is what you do, but life is what you give. Sometimes the view from your own front door is the best. New Mexico, Earth, may not be "the best place in the universe" but it is a very nice place to live. Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not...Ralph Waldo Emerson.

 Hi there...wondering what's happening in that wonderful place called Albuquerque today? Just reading your home page and the mention of palmistry was the most intrigueing to me.
