It had been cloudy most of the day and the sun just peaked enough to cast some nice light on the canal and you can see the beams through the moisture. The rest of the shots didn’t turn out like this. This has been in my office for several years. (Utrecht, Netherlands 2019)

We took a day trip to Utrecht. It was such a pleasant and easy city to be in. I liked it so much a few years later I applied to present at a conference only because it was in Utrecht and I wanted to go back. I applied, presented, and had a great time again.…

We were looking for the Jesuit house that was listed in the guidebook. We wandered up and down stone stairs with very little that was visible until we came upon the stone carving in the wall. This was the place. I do love when a place is marked by a stone carving. (Dubrovnik, Croatia 2012)

I was giving a major talk at a conference. The easiest path from my hotel to the meeting was along the public walkway that took me through the graveyard. It must have been good luck, because the talk went well and I had a great day. (Winchester, England 2015)

Regardless of how the Brewers are doing, the Sausage Race is one of the key game highlights. Here is my favorite sausage (Chorizo) with two of my favorite colleagues. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin 2013)

The other day someone mentioned the old move “Ice Castles.” It made me think of the St. Paul Winter Carnival–one my favorite festivals. (St. Paul, Minnesota, 2002)

Another one of my favorite photos of Kathleen. The flowers are nice as well. (Victoria, British Colombia, 2012)
