Setting up a digital application form
CISV’s Philly Chapter moved from paper applications sent in the mail to google forms accessed from the website, philly.cisvusa.org.
I created a video to explain the system and answer questions people might have.
What’s taking up my time
My SSL Certificate wouldn’t update. There are so many things I could write about. But things come up, and challenges offer learning opportunities. Anyway, my site broke today, and this is about how I got it working (with gratitude towards people I don’t know). I was getting the following error: While this wasn’t how I […]
Bread stands on its own
This is what bread can look like. It’s not fancy, but it’s everything I want it to be. It’s flour, water, salt and a bit of leftover dough that I had in the fridge from Monday. I can’t really say what kind of flour I used… unbleached probably, or maybe white whole wheat. I didn’t […]
We must take responsibility
We can engage with people who are running for office, and we must vote. But government isn’t some distant land, out of reach to most people. Our elected officials are our neighbors.
My mushroom retrospective
I take a lot of photos with my camera and have been noticing mushrooms over the last year. Honestly, I don’t know anything about mushrooms, but I bought a couple of books. One is about mushrooms in Pennsylvania and the other is on Mycilleum. That said, here are my photos. Some that I thought were […]
Biking from Jenkintown to Locust Lake – my setup

These include a several Treks, a Breezer, and a few Dahons. Time allocation Leaving Jenkintown, I was in Phoenixville for breakfast in two hours […]

Protected bike facilities in Galapagos
Many people will go to the Galapagos to see sea lions, blue footed bookies, or giant tortoises. Going there is like taking a biology and earth science class outdoors. There was plenty of other wildlife. Nevertheless, I saw people biking in both Quito and the Galapagos. And there were wide, striped bike paths parallel to […]
A bike ride and a hike, August 12
My bike ride The most basic reason I ride is connect with my surroundings. Bats flew overhead as I biked near the June Fete Grounds. A couple of days before that, I saw a red fox by Abington High School. There are places close to Jenkintown where you bike through the woods on streets and […]
Jenkintown bike ride – loop along Pennypack in Montgomery County
After working much of day on the Chapel Hill Bike & Greenways Map, I headed out on PJ’s Fuji Jari. For this version of the ride, I mostly kept to quiet streets, bike lanes, and trails to create a 15 mile loop. This route works better for me than a ride to the Wissahickon because […]
