    Stars

    Of all the photography disciplines, night photography, and especially when the subject contains stars, patience is advised. On a few occasions over the past couple months I had my camera with me in the evenings and decided to take some shots of the open skies. Somehow each time I’ve been out, the moon has been…

    The last colors of fall

    We have been treated to a longer than usual fall this year. Typically, the ground has been covered with snow by now, at least for a couple days. It is fortunate for me though, since I’ve procrastinated on scheduling a sprinkler blow out. Last week, Jess challenged me with planning a fun date night for…

    Less than 2 weeks…

    The NYC marathon is now less than 2 weeks away. The countdown is happening, the runs are almost done and vacation is coming. Last Wednesday, I got my start time which is 10:30 am Eastern.

    I woke early this morning, quickly and quietly gathering my items, most of which were already packed away. Pulling my phone out, I noticed that I had a missed call and voice mail. Looking at the number, I recognized it from my travels earlier in the week as the Delta “your life just got a…

    Business Travel: New England and Louisiana

    This week I departed on the longest business trip so far. I left for Boston early Monday morning after a long night of emergency server maintenance with only 3 hours of sleep. Just before boarding, I ran into some friends with some exciting travel ahead. They were adopting a newborn from Florida and had been…

    And the marathon training continues…

    Marathon training has been going better for the most part over the last several weeks. I think I needed that half marathon race to give me a boost in my training. Today I am one month away from the New York City Marathon. I am getting excited! The weather is changing here in Bozeman. I…
