Since Macon is a Hot Spot – both for Corona & weather – I went in search of comfort in the form of people who wear masks early & often, & some significant things (Frank Lloyd) Wright in this world. Taliesin was Wright’s home and laboratory, while Fallingwater is perhaps his greatest work. In between,…

Keeping Mackinac Strait
So, shortly after the 4th of July, I hit the road in search of Frank Lloyd Wright houses & cooler temperatures and succeed on both fronts. Additionally, I discovered that Michigan has a lot of lighthouses. I also spent several lovely days on Mackinac Island, but, sadly, they discourage drones because the horses do all…
Cruisin’ Setouchi

Morocco – Looking Back at Storks & Cats
So, I will do a quick overview of Morocco before delving into each city. Last night we all said our good-byes and, today, I started returning to hermit mode. Stayed to myself and flew from Casablanca to Lisbon. Overall, it was a good group with lots of fun people, but, in the end, being around…
For My Designer Friends
The Bobby Hotel in Nashville is a boutique hotel with a very interesting look. The halls have maintained some minimalist/industrial (aka cheap) look but with enough added to hold down ambient noise.
