To get away from the pressures of the day I recently took a two-day trip to Lafayette, Indiana, particularly to the Haan Museum of Indiana Art. This year I am limiting my µRV trips to close to home sites. I stayed at Turkey Run State Park and visited a few museums in Lafayette and a short side trip to Williamsport Indiana. It is fascinating how … Continue reading The Hidden Things Close To Home
It’s nice to see some of the more famous and innovative people out there come out as being Aspies. Like me, most of us who are over 30 years old are self-diagnosed as the Asperger’s Syndrome establishment is almost totally concentrated on young children. Adults with Asperger’s just don’t appear on their radar. I didn’t know until I say the above article in The Week … Continue reading When You Have Seen One…
This is day 10 of our Canadian adventure, and we are in Old Quebec. This is the last major city we will see in Canada. While Old Quebec was much more enjoyable than Montreal it was still a hectic time. But we did find the major stopping point we were looking for and that was Place Royale. It was part of the very old Quebec … Continue reading On The Road Canada: Day 10 – Old Quebec
It’s been four weeks since I have written a blog post here. There have been a few that were in the queue before April 29, but they were written before that date. My regular readers know the reason for that is that my wife had a serious heart attack on April 29, and I have been living in a surreal world since then. I will … Continue reading Easing Back In…
When I was a child in a small Catholic school I was taught that Jesus was going to come some day and save the world from itself. That, like so many other things I was taught about Christian doctrine scared me. It scared me almost as much as the thought that I would be in heaven but many of my friends would be anguishing it … Continue reading Count Me Out On Apocalypses
I guess I must tell you up front that this trip was taken in 2011. That was a time in the infancy of GPS map apps so that explains all the problems when we used Google Maps for guidance. Things have changed drastically since those early years. Day 8 – Canada Agricultural Museum & On The Road To Montreal Here I am sitting in our … Continue reading On The Road Canada: Day 8 – 9 – Thoughts, Montreal, Quebec, Sunday Morning
Day 4 We went to the Canada Science and Technology Museum before trying to check into our hotel. They had a lot of neat exhibits there and a wall of fame that had about thirty pictures and related bios there. I recognized a few, but not many, names on that wall. Of course one thing they did invent here was the snowmobile. Here is a … Continue reading On-The-Road Canada: Day 4-7 Ottawa
Most of these first posts in the new category On The Road (OTR) originally appeared on RJsTravels and is now being moved to their home here on RJsCorner. All OTR posts started from my personal daily journal entries during the trip. The trips have taken place over a thirty-year period, but I kind of think the date doesn’t matter, so there is no mention of … Continue reading ON-THE-ROAD CANADA: DAY 1-3: SUDBURY, WOULD YOU LIKE GRAVY WITH THAT?
Just a quick snippet to tell you that I am still around, but just in the standby mode. My Walden time of utter simplification for a week turned out to be the exact opposite. On April 30th my wife had her fourth heart attack. She survived it, but the heart damage is uncertain. At the same time they found that she has a severe gall … Continue reading On Hold For Now…
There was a particular group of people back in Jesus’s day who loved to burden the Jewish faithful with extra-Biblical commands. They were called the Pharisees. By the time Jesus came the Pharisees had developed a list of over 600 different laws and laws about laws that were completely unrelated to the Jewish Bible. Some say the Pharisees were making all these commands up so … Continue reading Modern Day Pharisees
HAPPY MAY DAY First of all, Happy May Day! May is definitely my favorite month of the year. Spring is going full speed, and things are coming to life after a dreary winter. I have been wanting to do this for months now, but I am so intertwined with the Internet that it seems impossible. I put my last finishing touches on this post last … Continue reading A Walden Pond Resolution For May Day…
