At the dinner table this evening, I was asking the children (I have four, ranging in ages from 11 to 18) what they liked best about traveling. I was thinking of writing a blog article about how to travel with kids. But as we talked about our experiences over our baked ziti and bread and [...]
New York State is literally loaded with little streams, creeks, rivers, and lakes. It’s a wonderfully water-ful state, but sometimes we do experience flooding. I recently blogged about our visit to see the Susquehanna River right before the historic flood of June 2006 (we had another historic flood in July that year, too). And I [...]
Well, out with the old and in the with new! Now that it is almost June, it is *relatively* safe to put the snow shovels and winter car kit away. (But we still never know, lol). I really don’t have a summer car kit, save for a first aid kit. As we travel further and [...]

There are various car services available, but only a few have been [...]
Hmmm. I think I can say I speak for multitudes or people right now about this. Isn’t is a sad state of affairs. We are stuck right now because gasoline is just too durn expensive.
My kids are tremendous Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett fans. They even have the “gear”: coonskin caps, Kentucky rifles (toy, but they look real), and various Indian paraphernalia. They are also in the process of collecting each and every one of the old television series from the 50s and 60s. Funny! They love Boone and [...]
Growing up in a house with four brothers, I am very familiar with football, boxing, Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, and the Cannonball Run. We always had dreams of being able to travel the country by car (just a little bitty bit slooower than the people in the race, however). Someday I expect we shall.
