One thing I am learning about the joy of adventures, they are a mystery. You definitely do not know how they are going to turn out. In fact, anything good or bad can happen, and it’s usually the last thing you would expect. As part of my birthday celebration week, Sherry booked a group of…
It’s really hard to remember details from 40 years ago, but some things stand out clearly. In 1985 I visited Stowe Vermont and went skiing with engineering friends from NBC. Our little group was Allen, June, Eric, Doug, David and me. I was by far the most junior skiier, as most of the others learned…
We are fortunate that our lakehouse in New Milford CT has direct access to the water, and a good size dock that I have been maintaining over the years. During the summer I noticed that the gangway which connects the dock to the land was falling apart, and some of the planks were breaking. More…

Wow! What a great adventure and a fun town! A quick five day trip in a cute town Sherry and I just got back from a long weekend in St Petersburg, Florida. It was our first time visiting, and we were motivated to plan the trip in order to attend her cousin’s wedding. We booked…

It was simply an incredible experience and while it represented seven locations and thousands of miles, I am treating it as just two adventures (the trip itself #8 and the Dromedary ride #9). I’ll use this column to share two of the many…
A day of skiing at Hunter mountain with Donnie is always fun – but since we do it so often, I was doubtful that this one would qualify as an adventure. The day however, had its own surprises and an adventure it indeed became. Let me explain… Donnie and I have been friends since I…
Last night Sherry and I had dinner with her cousins Jeff and Susan Hammer at a nearby restaurant Shiraz. We have been there once before and had a great time. We have actually never socialized with Jeff and Susan before and I was looking forward to learning about their transition to retirement and kindling a…
While the four of us were in Key West, Ali and Cam suggested we stop in a Karaoke bar after dinner on our first night. Both of the girls have participated in the past and enjoy performing. Ali in particular goes out with friends – and seems to take pleasure both in singing and hearing…
