Ah, the beauty of Wyoming and the awesome splendor of a total solar eclipse — what more could one ask for on a summer vacation? Last August, I finally checked these two long-standing items off my bucket list. From the time I was young, solar eclipses have captivated my imagination, and  I have been intrigued about Jackson Hole ever since I did some internet marketing work for a couple of hotels there several years ago. I just never seemed to have the time or opportunity to take the plunge on […]

This year we decided our summer holiday was not going to be spent fighting impatient crowds at the airport or tourist crowds in fancy resort towns. No, this year we were going to take it slow – slow down, slow time, and live in the moment. So what did we decide to do? A 14km return walk into the Victorian wilderness. Now stay with me here. It may sound strenuous – and trust me, it was – but what a way to get back to the essentials of life, what really matters. […]

I’ve always had a thing for Napoleon Bonaparte. After all, he was a pretty amazing guy. In addition to his military exploits, he oversaw the centralization of the French government, established the Bank of France, got the French people to accept the metric system (something I doubt even Barack Obama could do in the United States), reformed the law (the Napoleonic Code still forms the basis of legal process in a quarter of the world), and instituted a tax code and road and sewer systems. He was passionate about wife […]

Forget hands on. Think feet and bellies.

Sometimes the nibbling is sooner. On a tour last summer, led by owner of the shellfish farm and restaurant, Perry Raso,who does them once a month, showed us where he also grows gracilaria, a tannish, tasty seaweed […]
