Joshua Tree National Park and Tucson, AZ

we left saturday afternoon in bright sunshine, with bags successfully packed away in the trunk and two bikes strapped to the back of my trunk. as the hours passed, the Golden rolling hills and groves of avocado and other fruit trees turned into rocky, sandy terrain sparsely dotted with joshua...

Last Night Stateside - Night 13

Columbus Day, a second rate holiday if that. My hosts, however, were required at their day jobs, so I had the pleasure of taking the Volvo for a ride today. After another conference call tying up some loose ends at work, I drove west on Speedway Boulevard up to Gates Pass Recreation Area in...

Recovery: Take Two - Night 12

Awoke to the sound of train whistles and large trucks removing the fencing and other apparati from last night’s festivities. Our room was at the very end of the hall, at the strange triangle peak of the building, perhaps one of the most character-ful rooms in the place. Though the Congress...

Robyn and Chris's Wedding - Night 11

Today was the big day for Chris and Robyn and the reason for my visit to Tucson. Chad was in the wedding party so he had to leave early for pictures, meanwhile Chrissy and I headed to the historic Hotel Congress to check into our hotel for the evening. Tonight was also the Annual Club Crawl, a...

Recovery - Night 10

We checked out at 9 am and Chad and I took Chris out to the JW Marriot resort at Starr Pass. I had never been to this part of Tucson before, and though it reaked of suburbia, that fact that the resort bordered Tucson Mountain Park made it quite beautiful, and I will admit that the developers...

Bachelor Party - Night 9

My gracious hostess Chrissy agreed to drive me to the University of Arizona campus today for a little walk down memory lane. The University was on a building binge when I was here and it appears that little has changed in the past three years. My first stop was to be “The Vicarage”, an old...

Going back to AZ - Night 8

Awoke from a wonderful sleep on a comfortable couch, a great change from the past two nights on the floor. I suspect over the next six months, most of my sleeps will lean more toward the latter than the former. It was a clear, calm morning, a bit of a oddity in the Midwest Fall, so I ventured...

Spare Change, Part 2

Even if all the poor aren’t in jail, or perhaps because of that, you can always retire to Sun City, Arizona up around Phoenix or to Sun City Vistoso just north of Tucson, where my mother makes her home, and where we will camp out until our house sells in Massachusetts. There are only old people...

Spare Change, Part 1

I put a dollar in one of those change machines. Nothing changed. ~George Carlin Back in 1986, when I lived in Boston the first time, and after a condominium renovation had become endless and my wife had left me, and I had dropped out of night school, and getting laid off from my job seemed...
