Canada, Maine, and Massachusetts—how much better can it be!

Some details of her life, with pictures, as well as an audio interview.

| Sightseeing in Tucson, Arizona Oct 2002 |
This web topic hasn't been on my web site since about 2003, but I like the pictures so here it is.

Start here |
| Maryland Renaissance Fair Oct 2007 |
This was a fun costume-optional event that draws thousands of willing
participants each year. Not dissimilar to Seattle's Bumbershoot Festival.
|

| Visit to Huntsville, Alabama Oct 2007 |
I only photographed the NASA Space Museum (being in class the rest of the time),
but that is cute enough to stand for Huntsville. For the moment, anyway.

| Back Again to the West Coast, Sep-Oct 2007 |
From a wedding in Seattle through stays with family and friends along our West Coast.

| Visiting the American Northeast, September 2006 |
See the accompanying blog entry, for full details. Essentially, it was another week's vacation, this time to Massachusetts and Maine.

| A trip to Hong Kong, 2006 |
I didn't rush to visit the Stites family in Hong Kong, because I've been there a few times already. But with their impending move to Brazil and promises that they live in great luxury, off I went. Here are a few shots and notes I made, as I enjoyed myself on what was, after all, my 2006 vacation.

| Moving to the East Coast, 1997 |
I moved east from Seattle (with Melissa) in late fall, 1997. A few years ago, I came upon the
photographs I had taken during our trip along the southern crossing of the United States (Highway 10), and
displayed them in a way I had not before (but that I have copied since). As I worked on that presentation,
I realized that it would be best to include such segments of our travel journal as might be useful to make
sense of the photographs.

| A trip to Ireland, 2001 |
I went to Ireland very shortly after the events of 11 September 2001, a trip that had been planned
before the tragedy.
|
Start here |
| California Dreamin' |
A trip to my birthplace in the summer of 2005, this includes shots of a wedding, as well
as various places south of San Francisco, and especially in the area of Santa Cruz.

Start here |
| David's Kids |
Taken in 1968, these photographs and comments are intended as a tribute to a long-passed friend—David Molinari, but also
to American public education, in which he worked and that—sometime earlier— produced me. |
Start here |
| Mildred |
A collection of photographs having to do with Mildred Lidderdale Blaisdell Broschat, my mother (1909–2000). |
Start here |
| Australia |
My trip of Fall 2004 (their spring). Features itinerary by Linda Campbell Bird, as well as plenty of
contact with the Bird family. And birds, too—don't forget the birds. |
Start here |
| Dancing in Seattle |
Some pictures I took when I was involved with the world of partner dancing in Seattle, and especially of a
session at Living Traditions taught by Frankie Manning.

| Walking the Mt Vernon Trail |
Photographs taken during a walk from, approximately, Washington National Airport in Northern Virginia to
Mt Vernon, the home of George Washington, one fall (2004).

| My family, and the history of oil in the United States |
How can there be any connection whatsoever? It's slight, but shows some fun discoveries Tom Clark and I made
in Pennsylvania one day.

| At the end of the Big Ride |
In 2004, Courtney Searls-Ridge rode her bicycle across the United State from Seattle (in the company of some other folks),
and this bit of exercise happened to end

| Columbia Accident Investigation Board (CAIB) awards |
At the end of 2003, a ceremony was held at NASA headquarters here in Washington, DC, and a couple hundred of
us who had worked in support positions for this investigation were honored with some awards. Here's a picture
or two and some names.

| Cherry blossoms, Spring 2004 |
My current residence (Washington, DC) is well known for its cherry blossoms. I happen to like the cherry blossoms
in Seattle, too, but here are some pictures of the East Coast variety.

| A visit to Chincoteague, Sept 2005 |
Ed Lohoski drove us to the Maryland Eastern Shores area, specifically for a visit to Chincoteague National Park.
The area is known for its wild horses and a cute lighthouse. You get to see all, in this illustrated tour.
|
Start here |
| Great Falls, on the Potomac |
One of Lohoski's hikes, this one took us to the upper reaches of the Potomac, a much more "energetic" part of
the great river that flows near my apartment. This national park straddles Virginia and Maryland, and is both
beautiful and dangerous.

Start here |
| Longwood Gardens, Spring 2004 |
This excursion was led by Monique and Gerard Lacroix, with the able assistance of Miss Jean. This huge remnant
of a Dupont estate is still private but very much open to the public. Worth a trip any time of year, these spring
shots might get most people's votes for best time of year.
|
Start here |
| A couple trips to Maine |
Ed Lohoski bought his dream home up in Maine (in the middle of winter!) a while ago, and I've made a couple
trips up there. A very pretty place, as perhaps you can see from these pictures.
|
Start here |
| A winter trip to Williamsburg |
I've been several times to this restored town of the American Colonial period, and this trip was in the
company of the infamous threesome: Jean, Monique, and Gerard.
|
Start here |
| A hike in West Virginia |
Young Kerry Webster joined Lohoski and me on an excursion into West Virginia, specifically the area around
Harper's Ferry. Oh, but don't forget the Charles Town Race Track. I'd like to.

| The World War II Memorial in Washington, DC |
I walked over to the new memorial a month after it opened in May 2004.
