Sweet! Thanks for sending the link to your blog. How much longer for Suzannah? That first piture of Ian surrounded by microscopic legos reminds me of Jared back in the day. I still find teeny tiny legos periodically in random places. Love to the family...

Looks like fun in DC.

We miss you.
Have a great trip, and hug everyone for Tammie and me.

Hey Hikerbabe, I considered another walk around Cub Lake but decided to sit at the picnic table and try to make some contacts on the Ham Radio. It sure sounds like everyone is tire of watching the oven door to see if the baby is ready/done.
Have fun

Joshua Slocum - First person to solo sail the world

Image
Thomas Fogarty: Joshua Slocum Thomas Fogarty is not too well known today. In the early years of the 20th century he and his colleague George Brandt Bridgman were popular and influential instructors at the Art Students' League in New York City. Norman Rockwell was one of Fogarty's pupils. Thomas Fogarty was competent in several mediums but especially noted for his pen and ink work, particularly his illustrations for 'Sailing Alone Around the World' by Joshua Slocum . I don't have a photo of Fogarty but I can offer some pages from the Slocum book, scanned from installments which appeared in issues of The Century Magazine for 1898. Click on image to enlarge the title page. Captain Slocum was already famous in the 1880s as skipper (and part-owner) of the famous clipper ship Northern Light before he took Spray around the world singlehandedly. Fogarty's illustration depicts Slocum with calking tools in hand being confronted by locals at the Fairhaven boatyard wher...

I SOLEMNLY SWEAR THAT I WILL SUPPORT AND DEFEND...

 As the "new normal" NFL season is upon us, my Facebook friends have been posting a lot lately (again) on both side of the argument about standing or not standing for the national anthem. I get it. I mean I get both sides.  I didn't back in 2016 when Colin Kaepernick kneeled during the national anthem. I was among the scoffers saying how un-American and disrespectful it was to the flag, to those who served in the military, to our country. I even looked up the US Code 36 § 301 which states: (A) individuals in uniform should give the military salute at the first note of the anthem and maintain that position until the last note; (B) members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute in the manner provided for individuals in uniform; and (C) all other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, and men not in uniform, if applicable, should remove their headdress with ...

FRIENDS PASSING...

This isn't going to be a jolly post, so I'll warn you right now. I learned last night of the deaths of two friends from my Fort Wayne years, Michael Rothe and Jerry Palumbo. Both died in 2007. I knew Michael when he was a high school German teacher, but he told me once he had always wanted to do radio broadcasting. Several years after I moved from Fort Wayne, I learned he had fulfilled that dream and had garnered some success on both classical and jazz shows broadcast on WILL-FM, Urbana, IL, and WFMT, Chicago, IL. We last talked about 5 years ago. The tributes to him describe the man I remember: soft-spoken, a loyal friend, a good listener. Jerry "Gandalf Slick" Palumbo was a character come to life. Another soft-spoken man and friend to all who chose to follow the beat of a different drummer while maintaining an insatiable curiosity of life. While I hadn't seen either of these friends for several years, there was always something comfortable about knowing t...
