So I am here in Tucson and we are heading to the BBQ 4th of July party.  We had a bit of a challenge with the address cause where the house was suppose to be, there was only a field...hummm.  Come to find out, there is the old road and a new road, the address was on the old road and thank…

I have been asked many times if I consider myself spontaneous! Well I guess the word is relative depending on what the situation, circumstance or occasion is. I like to do things on impulse and they normally make sense to me, but to a more practical person I'm nothing but inconsiderate. Well i…

We went to Tucson for some family time and a wedding. The weather was perfect and the scenery gorgeous! Maybe we need to move there.

Oi! The trip to Tucson kicked off with a series of late departures (bus from Vancouver was an uncomfortable 15 minutes late, then the flight from Bellingham was a good 45 minutes late, then the flight to Phoenix was a nice 3 hours late etc etc), and I got my ass interrogated by US Customs as pe…

It is so hard to imagine that it is finally here.  Some have already arrived and many of the other TBs are already in route to the land of the Arizona Wildcats.  I on the other hand am sitting here at work hopeing that time will pass by a little faster so that I too can get read…

Hawaiian @ Gentle Ben's Brewing (SAAC. If you can not go to Hawaii, you bring Hawaii to you. Well living in the desert is not easy as one can imagine, we decided to bring life to the desert and celebrate Hawaiian style and drink beer. Gentle Ben's Brewing Co. at University drive presented the best venue for this. I must plan a trip to Hawaii this year, something I must make a priority. The company speaks for itself . . .

  Well, I missed it. The two beers at St. Elmo's and the long day in the Arizona sun were just enough to nod me out as soon as I got back to the hotel. It was quarter to eleven when I woke up and I was sorry to have missed the Meet-up dinner. There was more shooting the breeze to be done wit…

Alcatraz has long been known as the escape proof prison for hardened criminals, however, there is a softer, beautiful side of this island that is often overlooked.

I've lived in Tucson for 17 years, and shortly after moving here I discovered that there are numerous hiking trails within the four mountain ranges that surround Tucson (Tucson Mountains to the west, Santa Catalina Mountains to the north, Tanque Verde Ridge and Rincon Mountains to the east, and San…
