Rounding out 2023 and onto 2024.

Back in town and catching up with friends New and Old! Into a routine of having coffee with the "guys" that hang out at Starbucks. Was really glad that my trip home happened to fall when the the Local "alley Sweeper event was on. Lots of bikes of all types on a...

So it has been very busy returning home. I never intended to be home before my ride was completed so this has been unexpected. I hit the ground running with my involvement with Alzheimer's Disease, but it has been very rewarding as well. My house has been leased out,...

So Vacation started as my friend Diana arrived from Portland, Oregon to go out to the Galapagos Islands. I posted on my Facebook about 2 months ago that I would be in Ecuador and going on a cruise in the Galapagos..... Anyone interested? Diana promptly replied that...

Young James.... Wrapping up a video editing project and thinking it is too early for a photo. Here is the video of our "scooter ride around Quito". Young James edited many Gigabits of data to share the day!! Freedom Riders Quito HD Hey Guys Another Video for you ......
