Radio + baseball = best nostalgia trigger ever
Reactions to In the Same Ballpark, episode 262 from 99% Invisible. When I was in graduate school, work around my thesis included the analysis of ballpark design from the formation of the game through the present day. The target for this deep analysis

Île d’Oléron | Spring vacation 2017
Sailing lessons, the Marais aux Oiseaux, Les Jardins Botaniques de la Boirie, and the Eglise Saint-Georges were the highlights of our spring 2017 trip to the Île d’Oléron. We last visited in 2015; that preceded our shorter trip to the neighboring Île de Ré in 2016. We

Some and I for a walk we went…*
From Lardy to Chamarande (Essonne, Île-de-France), with Joseph and Nicolas, Antoinette and Jeanne, plus Robert and a biplane. *Variation on a limerick which completes a certain joke. With thanks and apologies to my high school American Lit. teacher, Ms. Reynolds.

Saint-Luc, Switzerland | 2017 winter vacation
It’s our 7th “ski vacation” and, for the first time, we returned to the same valley. Having gone to Zinal in 2014, we returned to the Val d’Anniviers in Switzerland, this time in the town of Saint-Luc. From Sierre, Saint-Luc is not as far

Normandie | Toussaint vacation 2016
We spent 4 days/5 nights in a house in Le Bourg-Dun, France just under 4 km from the beach. The weather was finer than we might have imagined yet we still used the fireplace daily. In a rental with a tiny, oven-less kitchen, the fireplace proved a real

Last images of the Argonne
Not fitting into any story nor neat category are these few more images from our spring time trip to the Argonne. A few of these have been (more than usual) heavily manipulated in Adobe Lightroom. The power of what a computer can

Seine flood | June 2016
With thousands of other Parisians, we went to the river on Saturday to take a “as seen with our own eyes” survey of the flood. As I write this, we are happily seeing the sun for the first time in a week. More

Reims | Spring 2016
Our travel east from Paris to Verdun and the Argonne forest was through Reims. Before the return train, we quickly visited the cathedral. Restoration work continues on the west front — and, coincidentally, to a portion of the nearby Carnegie library.
