SEO (search engine optimization) can be a great marketing tool for small businesses. A modest investment of effort can pay dividends year after year. It is an investment nonetheless, and because of this, the kinds of businesses that go for search engine optimization more readily are ones whose products or services range in the thousands [...]
In September of 2009, we spent the weekend in Annapolis, MD. Saturday morning we took a 90-minute ferry ride from Annaplolis harbor to the small town of St. Michaels on the Eastern Shore. It was a beautiful day for boat watching from the ferry. We spent a few hours in St. Michaels, ate at the [...]
Our first powered boat was a 1991 Boston Whaler 16SL dual console design with open bow. It had a 1999 Evinrude 90 hp 2-cycle outboard engine. It had a few family friendly features, including lots of seating and bow safety rail. It handled well on calmer lakes, but as any 16′ boat will, it got [...]
This spring a fox and her four pups took up residence under our shed. To the rear of the shed is a large horse pasture where we’d see them playing in the mornings and at dusk. They also played down the hill in our side yard, less than 100 yards from the porch that our [...]

The village’s original log house, its logs now plastered over, is to the east of the intersection. Here is a photo. Part of the plaque on [...]
Our first house was a 1913 four-square post-Victorian in Bucks County, PA. One of the things that attracted us to the home initially was the huge unfinished attic that ran the length and width of the house, and was 13′ at the peak. It had triple windows front and back, plus two large window dormers [...]
The 2004 Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 pictured below was my first bike when I returned to riding in my 30s. It was a nice cruising bike for relatively short distances but got a little uncomfortable on extended trips. The 1200 is small for a Harley but mid size for most other manufacturers. I enjoyed it [...]
In July 2011, we took delivery on a new 2011 Tidewater 196cc. It was hard to say goodbye to our first powered boat, a 1991 Boston Whaler 16SL, but the time had come to move up to newer, bigger boat that would enable us to spend more time on the water for longer periods of [...]
