"In his domestic administration my father had this system . . . to keep a journal and insert in it all occurrences of any note . . . A record very pleasant to look at when time begins to efface the memory of events, and very well suited to get us out of perplexity: When was such and such a thing begun? When completed? What retinues came? How long did they stay? Our trips, our absences; marriages; deaths; the receipt of happy or unhappy news . . . An ancient custom, which I think it would be good to revive, each man in each man's home. And I think I am a fool to have neglected it." (Montaigne, Book I, Essay 35 (publ. 1580))

Flagstaff (Lockett's Meadow) (September 27-30, 2018)


Flagstaff remains perhaps our single favorite destination - PJ and I much enjoy just wandering around - we always stay at the same hotel, wander the same streets, find interesting meals, often including a lovely hike.

As I've written elsewhere - we've been hiking Lockett's Meadow since 1989 - it remains as lovely as ever (even if we arrived a week or two before peak color). 

We had great luck dining at Tinderbox and Brix.  Not to mention the customary pre-hike blowout breakfast at Martanne's.   And plenty of other treats along the way.

Criollo!




We know who did this (a few years back)
