The day a spouse or a parent dies creates a life marker. When that marker is accompanied by another life marker, they become permanently associated, even when unspoken. There’s just no way around it. We don’t make a thing of it whenever John’s birthday rolls around, though I don’t imagine he gets through the day [...]

I spent much of my weekend finishing up my photo project. Uh, did I say finish? Ha! Who am I kidding? I figure I’ll be doing photo projects till my dying day, and that will suit me just fine. Trouble is, there are other things to do with my time. I did manage to tear [...]

I hinted to friend and photographer Joel Bock that he post a set of wedding photographs he took a couple of weeks ago. Today they showed up! I confessed my reason for the hint: I wanted to post these two pictures I took of him shooting the event. I was especially pleased to see his [...]

My own family photo albums go back 40 years! They are better than journals for helping me remember what I did when. I’m no different from all those other people who claim they would first rescue the people from a house fire but very next they would go back in for their photo albums. I [...]

Neither Mauri nor I are very good self-promoters. A number of years ago we invested many, many hours, a good-sized chunk of change, and a heap of energy producing two recordings of music. That was the easy part. The boxes of “product” arrived, and the hard part began. Even though people had encouraged us to [...]

Is it still a fishing trip if you don’t catch any fish? Of course it is!
You go fishing to sit beside a quiet lake and anticipate what might bite your bait.
You go fishing to break your routine and take in the silent beauty of nature.
And when you can’t absorb any more of that peaceful [...]

Mauri’s essentials ready to go.
They wouldn’t want to forget anything.
In it goes.
The fillet knife, just in case someone catches something edible.
Packing champions!
The hopeful trio, off on their adventure. If only I could remember where they were going.

Well, you got the “who” right. It’s Dave Maurer. Where? An old brick restaurant ironically named “The Log Cabin” in Carlton. Sadly, it burned to the ground shortly after I moved here. Here’s a picture of Ben (circa 1994) that illustrates why we miss that place.

We won’t complain that it wasn’t exactly sunny on the day we chose to drive to the beach. We all returned with a little bit of pink skin, so we know the sun was up there somewhere. There’s sand at Pacific City and that, along with a sea full of water, made for an afternoon’s [...]
