  • Atlanta BeltLine – Eastside Trail

    I arrived in Atlanta, Georgia for business. On the final day I wrapped-up and had a little time to visit a family member who lives in the city. That became a good excuse to head over to the Grant Park neighborhood on Atlanta’s eastside. We spent most of our late afternoon walking along the Atlanta…

  • Ohio River, Part 4 (Exploring Louisville)

    We finally arrived in Louisville after a couple days of driving and wandering. I’ll start by saying that it’s impossible to cover an entire city in a week.

  • Closer Than…

    There’s no overt or even covert intellectual discussion on Twelve Mile Circle today. In fact I won’t blame you at all if you choose to skip this post and come back on the weekend. I might do the same if it wasn’t already too late. I’m back to drawing lines again. I got fixated on…

  • Potpourri

    The virtual file folder is bulging at the seams but none of the topics I’ve collected for today are large enough to merit a standalone article. There should be something for just about everyone here today, something old, something new, something borrowed, something stupid. Haines Shoe House Wouldn’t you visit the Haines Shoe House if…
