FIVE Views of The High One


"Denali" means "The High One" in Athabascan (the tribe native to the region), and it is most appropriate for the highest peak in North America.

                                                                                Well, we woke up Thursday (September 2) to incredibly clear skies, and decided to drive into the Park.
                                                                                               We had resigned ourselves to the fact that we were probably part of the "70%" club; that is, the percentage of visitors to the Park that do not see Denali.
                                            However, eight miles down the road we were rewarded with a vision of it! We could see it all day, up to 100 miles away.....

    Hi there...oh so look forward to your blog...takes me to heaven. If you haven't seen my email, author Joe McGinnis has packed up and left his temporary digs next door to Sarah Palin, heading back to NY to begin his "Sarah" book. Before Sarah takes down her fence, thought you should make a bee line to the rental, squat a while, make her crazy and then, "take off"...You both look "marvelous, darling, simply marvelous:, but the scenery is OUTDOING and EXCEEDING all expectations. Love, Miss Piggy

Marking 3 Years

I moved to Trinidad in mid June 2020, and opened 221B Gallery at the end of 2021. I've had the pleasure of presenting work from Steven Benson (Orlando, Florida), Hans Droog (Trinidad, soon St. Louis), Jo-Anne Green (Boston), Sheigla Hartman (Trinidad), Bonnie Lambert (Helena, Montana), Bobby Neel Adams (Bisbee, Arizona), Robert Welkie (Los Angeles) and Jennifer Korsen (Los Angeles - who also created a mural on an exterior gallery wall). Work from Ken Abbott (Asheville, North Carolina) goes up tomorrow.  Raven, my faithful companion for 9 years who traveled with me to ten states, passed away in April.    10 week old Tyche arrived in the household at the beginning of June, and siblings Anton Chekhov (male tabby) and Ava Gardner (female calico) are not thrilled about having to baby-sit a third dog, and have to train another from the beginning..... Things are rapidly changing in Trinidad with an expansion of businesses downtown, a new Hilton about to open, Fishers Peak openi...

 Groundhog's Day, 2023 My favorite holiday! Little commercialization, 100% American, silly, nothing political or religious and, thanks to Bill Murray, it is fully set in the last generation's consciousness. Tyche, at 10 months, the new pup (birthday at the end of March), a welcome addition as my canine companion.  Ava Gardner and Anton Chekhov, begrudgingly welcomed him into the household in June. After two prior canines, they were sure the house was their domain.  And now there is Margaret.  I'm a lucky guy, off to new adventures.
