At long last, I've finally got some new updates posted to my website. Here are click-throughs to them:
Cleveland
Oklahoma City
Buenos Aires
Next up: cruise pages. We took a combined 3000 photos, so I can't make any timeframe promises but it won't be six months this time. Let me know what you think!

Cold In Oklahoma City
Saturday in Oklahoma City. Yesterday was so gorgeous: sun and seventy degrees; today it was cloudy with highs only near fifty, with a stiff, damp wind that left wind chills in the 30s. I'm so glad I did the memorial and some walking around yesterday. Wow, was it cold!
Today I went had a nice breakfast at the hotel, then headed out to the Oklahoma Museum of Art, then to have a look at Bricktown and its canal and riverwalk. Next, I took to the car and explored some neighborhoods, popped into a western wear store, and went to the mall for sock shopping and to Target to get some undershirts. Undershirt and sock shopping is not very interesting but it was productive.
I was struck again today by how empty Oklahoma City is. It feels as if it's been evacuated: there are no people and, while there are parked cars, there are almost none driving the streets. It's all very, very odd, as one sees. This is just a sampling, as I'll update my website shortly.

Fifty Before Forty
Just in time for my big four-oh, I finally made it to my fiftieth state, Oklahoma. I flew into Dallas last night, overnighted there, then fetched a rental car and drove up to Oklahoma City this morning. My God, what a long four hours that was! It's a pretty boring drive, but I can now say I've been to every state! There are some I want to loop back to (I was only nominally in New Hampshire, Kansas, Idaho, and Michigan), but this is still a milestone for me.
As I type, I'm freshly back from the Oklahoma City bombing memorial. I was very impressed. I wasn't to going to go to the museum, just the memorial, but I did and I'm glad I did. I'll be putting more verbiage and photos on my site later, but, for now, here's a taste of the beautiful and elegant reflecting pool and one of the gates.
