There were a number of good slides in that box from Kathleen’s dad. This is what it looked like long before “Men in Black.” (New York, New York 1964)

Kathleen took this one, but it is excellent. We had just had a quick snowfall with very cold temperatures. Lake Michigan steamed like the Gordon Lightfoot song said. (Kenosha, Wisconsin 2013)

A few years ago I was visiting a friend in London. He has a flat overlooking Regent’s Park. He walked me along Regent’s Canal to King’s Cross so I could catch my train. The revived landscape along the old industrial canal was fascinating–and I have to go back. Recently I watched episodes of Slow Horses…

New Town is a portion of Edinburgh that was built between 1767 and 1850. It’s filled with great Georgian architecture, museums and Waverley Station. Although I’ve been here a few times, my visits are not long enough to see it all. (Edinburgh, Scotland 2015)

I was enjoying the dhow (boat) traffic. These are mostly used as tour vessels in region. At one time, they were fitted with sails and were the cornerstone of the pearl diving industry. (Doha, Qatar 2016)

This is as close as I could get to the old ticket counter in the LA Train Station. This section is just used for events and filming. You can imagine what this looked like when train travel was at its peak in the US. (Los Angeles, California 2004)

I don’t remember how cold it was that day–but probably well below zero. Still Kathleen and I were out and about at the lakefront. The skyline looks very different today. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin 1985)

I had a student who had been working in Peace Corps in Nicaragua and we were trying to meet up when I was in the country. We could not find a time/place that would work so we gave up. I was out with my group and who walks into the restaurant with her boss–we got…

It was one of those moments in life you look back on and are happy you did ok. We knew we had to say thank you in Spanish (my Spanish has always been weak). I was a bit surprised when my group thrust the microphone in my hands and basically said “you got this.” I…
