Patrick Prout 1966 – 2017
A few days ago I found out that my dear friend Patrick passed away on September 9th. He was 51. Patrick was a kind soul. He was my best friend. He was my brother. He was one of those rare people that you meet in your life that you can really talk to. He...
Blogging from the garden
Testing out my new Kindle Fire tablet down here at the garden. So far so good. I really like the fact that I can take pictures with it instead of lugging around the big...
Still Runnin’
Yep, I'm still running. In fact, I've run every day this year aside from 2 days to recover from an injury and 1 day when I just didn't have the chance to get out there. Not only that but I am on my 4th day of a new challenge. 5K a day. I ran my 4th one this afternoon...

Breakfast of Champions
Keri and I have a new routine. For the past month we have been getting up before the crack of dawn at 5:30ish. Up and dressed and out the door before 6. Keri heads off to yoga class and I go for my run. We do this Monday through Friday and then rest on the weekends....
The Golden Snitch Pineapple Tomatillo
Fall is here so Keri and I are getting ready for the colder temps ahead. That means digging up our pepper plants down at the garden to overwinter them inside the apartment. We didn't dig them up today but rather went down to see what we had and to get our...
Pull My Daisy
https://vimeo.com/92403607 I have seen this before but this is the first time I have found a captioned version of the film. Sweet! Pull My Daisy is a film that stars most of the core Beat authors and is written/narrated by Kerouac.
