It's Official - I Am A Middle Aged White Guy

I will be 49 this month. By all accounts I have had an excellent life full of adventure. I have been fortunate to see the world (47 countries at last count) and spent almost 15 years overseas from Alaska to Australia, From Singapore to Africa and from Europe to the South Pacific and just about everywhere in between. Now as I approach the half century mark, 13 months until I am 50, I have come to the stark realization I am now a middle aged white guy and I have become a stereotype.

How do I know this? I actually went out in public yesterday dressed in khakis and new balance shoes. OMG what has happened to me?????

Fall Drive In Kentucky

The family went for a drive through some scenic back roads here in western Kentucky yesterday. Just a nice clear, crisp, cool day to enjoy the changing leaves. Here are a couple photos of the vibrant colors.

Childhood Holiday Destinations

As a kid we spent a lot of time in Bavaria and in the Rhine valley areas. This is typical of the scenery of that area and brings back a lot of great childhood memories.
