Okay, how does one keep fit while the temperatures are over 100 and the electricity is out? Okay, that is only 2 days out of the past week. But those days delayed my writing of this blog. They also got us to do more swimming at Oceans of Fun. Or at least floating. Staying fit … Continue reading Fitness Update: Powerless

Cedar Fair Parks Tour: Canada’s Wonderland
Our schedule for touring the parks also had a few other events on it to be planned around. That is why we didn’t hit Carowinds in the Carolinas nor Dorney Park in Pennsylvania. Our next park was on Saturday, July 8 in Vaughn Canada: Canada’s Wonderland. We left Buffalo that morning, and with generally clear … Continue reading Cedar Fair Parks Tour: Canada’s Wonderland

LibertyCon 2017 : thematic after action report
Now that I have typed up daily reports on LibertyCon 2017, I want to do a slightly different look, thematic perspective on LibertyCon 2017: Where is Sarah? – For those of us in the Hoyts Hun contingent, where Sarah was, from her highly belated arrival (whose arrival wasn’t) on Thursday, through various other scheduled and … Continue reading LibertyCon 2017 : thematic after action report
Fitness Update: leisurely pace
So this past week was a very leisurely week, and yet full and not necessarily resting. Going from LibertyCon to King's Dominion, to a family reunion in Buffalo, to Canada's Wonderland to Michigan's Adventure, involves a lot of sitting in a car, and a lot of walking around the parks. But it doesn't get in … Continue reading Fitness Update: leisurely pace

Session One: The Writing Hoyts Sunday we started our day with what we had hoped to do on Thursday evening: See the Hoyts read. Every scheduled time we had seen on the schedule something had come up so they hadn’t been there; we had enjoyed the sessions, but missed the Hoyts. We had a chance … Continue reading Sunday At LibertyCon 2017
