Wednesday I went for a 2.5 mi solo hike at White Ranch. I arrived early and was the only hiker until close to the end. It was so peaceful. I’m not sure I would have been as peaceful if I … Continue reading

I’ve been on a few dates lately. I went walking with one man in the Licking Riverside historic district, Covington… just across the river from Cincinnati. He seemed like a nice guy, but it wasn’t a match. We did a … Continue reading

This past week I drove golf balls with my girlfriend and we ate at a restaurant that I hadn’t been to. It had been a couple of years since I went to a driving range and too many years since I’ve been golfing. I was surprised at how well I did.

Here are some of the flowers I planted yesterday.



Today I’m doing a newborn photo shoot for my friend’s daughter. I have a fourth date this evening. Have a great weekend everyone!
