Inspiration for breakfast

Saw the coolest slide show in today's New York Times online. If you dig photography, as I do, you will dig this:
A guy named Shaun Irving built a giant camera out of a box truck and has been taking huge-format photographs. The pix are both primitive (in his words) and mesmerizing.
Check him out: NYT Lens Blog and his own site: CameraTruck.

By the way, the Lens blog is a pretty fabulous blog for photo buffs. I recommend you bookmark it.

Well, I'm off to ride my bike. Have a beautiful day!

Why 100 Trips ?

This title is just a way to say that my blog will be about life--mine, my family's, maybe yours. Every trip around the sun is a year of living and learning, but it sounds more twinkly and adventuresome than just saying 'here's a blog about life." Y-a-w-n.

Why 100 trips? It's a good round number, and it seems likely someone reading this blog today might see that 100th trip—especially if you can find something I write here useful to your life. I hope that's the case.

In any event, I hope the world is improved somehow by the time I get near those last few trips... I promise to do my little bit to make it so. Won't you?
