Netherlands, and back to Jenkintown
During our recent visit to the Netherlands, we stayed in Weesp and often took the train to Amsterdam. Although we had a car, parking was never an issue. The posted speed limits were clear and strictly adhered to. I noticed two-lane roads being converted into a single lane, with bike lanes on both sides. This […]
July 2023 – Watercolor motif & mapping travels
I’ve worked on my digital watercolor methods as we’ve traveled through Croatia and the Mid-Atlantic (MD, DC, VA and NC).

Remembering Mark Mattson
In 1990, I was taking a cartography class at Macalester College. We used a book by David Cuff and Mark Mattson. And a couple of years later, I was fortunate to be in Mark’s Cartography Lab at Temple University. This was the perfect place to spend some of my time. Mark, and students in his […]
