The photo above is not me, but I was on this part of the trail today. I stalled out toward the top and had to walk it out.
On a whim, I decided to bike on the Alum Creek mountain bike trail today. I have never been mountain biking on my ‘mountain’ bike before and thought [...]

This is a picture of an Adena burial mound found in Prairie Oaks Metro Park. I don’t know about you, but this just looks like a grassy hill to me. Having seen the great Serpent Mound, this was a real disappointment. The rest of the park is great, however.

While hiking in Prairie Oaks Metro Park yesterday I saw this group of cat tails. It occurred to me that they resemble corn dogs more than anything.

Rebecca and I enjoyed a nice hike Sunday at the Highbanks Metro Park just outside of Columbus. This picture was taken at the overlook deck on the Overlook Trail. With full leaf coverage, the view below was obstructed — we’ll go back in the fall.
Somehow I have managed to never take the time to [...]

Rebecca and I rode from Antrim Park to downtown Columbus and back on Saturday. I carried the GPS unit with me and then used GPS Photo Linker to add the GPS data into the EXIF data portion of the photos. I think it worked really well. This is a picture taken of the Leveque Tower [...]

I recently stopped into the retail location of Krema Nut Company at 1000 West Goodale Boulevard.  Many times over the years, I have simply walked past the store. Why did I need to go in? After all, I usually purchased their peanut butter in the local groceries.
There are a few things in the retail store [...]

To raise money for the renovation of The William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library, The Ohio State University is sponsoring ‘Brutus on Parade‘. If I had the talents to create one of these, I’d definitely do one. Brutus is, without question, the greatest college mascot of all time. Sorry Banana Slug fans.
What I will do [...]

Rebecca and I recently had friends over for dinner that just happened to be huge Michigan fans. The traditional rivalry ribbing commenced, good natured laughs enjoyed. Then, I learned something new. One of our guests said that he always wondered why the dome contained so much Maize and Blue ornamentation. I thought this must [...]

I noticed these odd baffles on the roof down at The North Market on Sunday. I was reminded of that Price is Right game Plinko for some reason.

We visited The Columbus Museum of Art on Saturday, followed by Lunch at Katzinger’s Deli. I hadn’t been to either for over 10 years.
The last time I was at the art museum, I was really unimpressed with it, and over the years even told people not to bother. I always directed people to the Wexner [...]
