For the most part, the DC area is stunning in the spring. That’s a modest Northern VA neighborhood. When I bought my first house here, back in the day, I paid $150k or so. These houses now go for in the neighborhood of $600k now. They are 70+ years old, but built back in a … Continue reading Back to the Motherland 2
Back to the Motherland 1
It’s been a busy few weeks for me, traveling around. First was a quick trip to Wimberly. Then a cannonball run to Reynosa. Now, I’m in my hometown in the DC Area.

Ride Report: Wimberly TX, Again
I took a few days off to do a ride, while I could. It's going to get busy this month and I wanted to hit the road before it gets hot. This week looked perfect; cool, maybe some winds Monday and Tuesday, with rain headed in the rest of the week. I got a dog … Continue reading Ride Report: Wimberly TX, Again
