It’s just about March now, and we’re covered in fresh snow fall. I always find it funny that people expect March to be the end of winter – this is Wisconsin after all, and it happens again and again that we get dumped on late in the season – especially if you’re close to either […]
Sacrifice and Shivers in the Desperate Dark of Winter
Riding my motorcycle home from work late on a cold October evening, I realized I was losing motor control of my fingers. Braking and shifting were becoming difficult, which is never a good thing while going 65 mph on a two-wheeled vehicle in the dark. My eyes were starting to tear, and my head was […]
Rugged and Beguiling – The Inspired City of Cape Town
300 feet below the road that circles the little ‘burgs around Cape Town, a steep slope leads to prime beachfront upon which a score of vacation homes lie abandoned. The way I heard it, they were built when an Englishman came to town and decided to build, unaware of the dangers of the area.

It conjures visions of the untamed, catching a glimpse of rugged escape, beauty in the power and unpredictability. We thought we’d have to get […]
Auld Lang Syne: 2012 in Review
2012 was a busy year for us. We’ve really gone down the blogging-rabbit hole, went to Puerto Rico, Colorado, and back to Puerto Rico again. Becki got her passport, gaining freedom and access to the rest of the world. We even almost ended up on a TLC reality show (no thanks TLC…no thanks). Here’s a recap […]
The State of Our Photography
This is going to be a bit of a rant. Becki and I both have a small love-affair with good photography. We’ve taken multiple photography courses, both high-school and college level. We have favorite photographers we know by name (Jimmy Chin and Antonin Kratochvil for myself, and Richard Avedon for Becki).We know enough about good […]
