I am always game to try something new to eat. Though I do not call myself a foodie, I know there is a term for people like me. The trouble is I cannot remember if I am a gourmand, gourmet, or something else. First, let’s define the popular term foodie. A person that spends a [...]
Last March I attended The Sustainability and Energy Exp09 here in Tucson. It was three days packed full of seminars, talks, movie screenings and a green marketplace—all designed to encourage citizens to reduce their impact on our local environment. I carefully arranged my schedule so that I could attend as many of the events as [...]
The Old Pueblo has a lot going for it: it is the longest continually inhabited spot in the United States1, the winter weather can’t be beat, and it is the birthplace of that delicious Mexican entrée the chimichanga. As if that wasn’t enough we just recently learned that Tucson can add the birth of that [...]
OK, I admit it, I am a weather wimp! According to National Weather Service it has been at least a week since we have seen 70s here in southern Arizona. I can’t change the weather but I can take heart in the fact that I am not alone in my winter weather wimpishness. To see [...]

We saw this interesting bumper sticker the other day as we were running errands. It gave us a much needed chuckle—hope it does the same for you. Honestly though, who would put that on their car?
Dave Baker—founder and owner of Summit Hut—now has an official blog, following on the heels of his popular AZ Trail Log. Both Erin and I worked at the Hut when we lived in Tucson, so we are excited to see Dave continue blogging and sharing his experiences, outdoor adventures, and maybe a product review or [...]
It happened, I dropped the ball and failed to bring our site up-to-date. Obviously, I have been busy—I’ll let the cat out of the bag for those of you who haven’t already noticed our location on our map—we’re in Tucson. Since we’ve returned, our schedules have been disrupted in a wonderful way: visiting with family [...]
As a veteran of our United States Armed Forces you are undoubtedly aware of the importance of November 11th. The day was originally etched into the world’s collective memory in 1918 as the official end of “the war to end all wars.” On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month Germany [...]
