Check out my Simple Minds stuff to the right, for some picture collages of the concerts I attended in Chicago and Detroit, in 2002.

This is where I live. Now that I know how to post pictures on this site, I'll be adding some of my neighborhood, and around my house.

And I just added something... "News".

I have lots and lots of stuff from two + years of corresponding with SimpleMinds.com folks.

Stay tuned for a special section, with pictures, all about Simple Minds and the fans I've met online.

A few years ago, when I was working for AAA, I was given a trip to Mexico's Mayan Riviera, and I've posted some of my pictures from that hot Yucatan Peninsula. I stayed in an area, south of Cancun, known as the Mayan Riviera. During the day, I took "field trips" to places such as Chichen Itza and Coba, where step pyramids still stand as reminders of a lost civilization.

The interior of the Yucatan is basically a scrubby, semi-jungle; but it's Caribbean Sea Coast is filled with popular beaches. One of the highlights at night, was to walk along the rocky beach and see the twinkling lights from the island of Cozumel, and look up and see an incredible starry sky. That night sky was amazing, not only for the number of visible stars, but for the different constellations, that I wasn't accustomed to seeing in Louisville. Being in a different part of the world, seeing some of the constellations I'm familiar with, but in different parts of the sky, was truly amazing to me. I spent hours on the beach at night, just walking and looking at the stars.

The pictures I've posted, are of the ruins in Chichen Itza. The climb to the top of one of step pyramids, was rather harrowing. Walking up wasn't as bad as walking down! And no handrails, either. The pyramid was crumbling in many places, and I was told, that it might be closed to to the public soon. Once at the peak, I took some photos of the view, and of a dog, sleeping inside the little temple on top. He had the right idea-- it was a lot cooler in there, in the shade. ;~}

Amazing, this internet community is. I've been a part of a band's website, Simple Minds.com for over two years, and have enjoyed almost every minute. But, in the past couple of days, I've had some long distance help from someone from that site, and it's been the key that helped me unlock the door to getting pictures online here. Check out my new link to their site.

Perseverance and a lot of trial and error(mostly error), has led to me figuring out how to post pictures here. Thanks to a couple of fellow bloggers for your help! Cool beans. More to come. Stay tuned.

I've added a "site of the day" feature. Meanwhile, my "picture of the day" needs updating.

Check out my Downtown Louisville section for more pictures added over the weekend.

Every day, or so, I hope to find some sort of interesting or unusual picture and I'll post it here. Suggestions welcome.

Check out "Downtown Louisville". I've just added a new feature. Picture links are now available. More to come!

I've added and rearranged some things in my "local happenings" section, to the right. Hopefully soon, I'll have some pictures to link to. Stay tuned.

Welcome to my neck o' the woods. If you're here, then more than likely you've been prodded into checking this website out by me. Hopefully you'll find something interesting, either in my ramblings about Louisville stuff, or in my weblinks section. Special thanks to Fred Taylor, who, without his inspiration, this little slice of my life wouldn't be cluttering up the internet.
