Mike, On our way across the pond last month, our Brit Air pilot just missed Greenland. According to the map monitor on the back of the seat in front of me, we flew just south of the southern tip. (It was cloudy anyway.) But on the way back, we crossed the southern tip, and I […]

Michael, On our way to the Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa, we learned that the Baptistry (adjacent to the Duomo and the Torre) has wonderful echoing acoustics. The echoes are exploited by chanting singers every half hour during the day, so I came to the Baptistry ready to record. This is a big file (85 […]
Hi Mike, It looks like you all returned from Aruba about the same time we got back to Boulder, but you don’t have any jet lag, while we do. Right now in Colorfulado it’s dinner time, but my brain and stomach are confused because it’s 2 am in Manarola, Italy. Our flights back from Sicily […]
Mike, Here‘s an unusual movie of one of our favorite celestial objects. The black curve is the edge of the Sun–the top of the photosphere that you see by eye. Above it is the roiling, boiling chromosphere as seen by Hinode’s ultraviolet telescope. –rakkity
Mike, With Katie and Patrick here in Boulder at Thanksgiving, we couldn’t pass up a chance to reprise our 3-way racketball games, especially since Patrick brought 2 rackets in his luggage. So off to the north gym we went, and played 2 3-way games, giving KT a 5 point handicap. (For those who always want […]
Michael, After getting out of the hospital (again) today my docs/nurses said to go easy on the exercise. So I was on a post dinner amble around the house long after sunset. I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye. There were dozens of these little unidentified flitting critters sucking on the […]
Michael, You can remove Funny Business from the Upcoming.  My next photo collection will be one of the following: 1. The canals of Boulder  (probably should wait till the spring runoff for this one.) 2. The fountains of Boulder (I might combine this with #3) 3. Boulder’s outdoor art–not including murals & bronzes  (This […]
Michael, One of the first things we noticed after coming to Boulder (Jan/2007) was the wealth of non-traditional and funny-named businesses. I’ve been collecting names and photos (and sometimes web pages) for 7 months now. There are a couple of businesses/buildings I’m not sure the purpose of, and I included one that is completely obscure. […]
Michael, The last week or so I’ve been going on very short trips, since I just had a big (successful) operation. After my Boulder doctor back in July recommended an operation which would leave me with limited mobility for the rest of my life, I asked for a second opinion. One of the names was […]
Michael, Patrick told us that he and Georgia drove down through NH on their way back from Canada, and stopped in at Grok Hill. They drove up past the Littells,who didn’t appear to be home, and parked at the bottom of Beech Lane. The pictures show the rifugio and the campfire spot that generations of […]
