Roughing It
Why do people consider getting outside and into nature as “roughing it”? Here in the city and in the suburbs are chaotic. The traffic, the hassles, the deadlines and the noise are unbearable. The most enjoyable, peaceful times one can have are outdoors and even…

The Process of Elimination…

Get Shiggy With It
So I participated in the Beach Palooza 5k and adventure race on Galveston Island this weekend. Ouch. Every time I think I am fit enough, these events remind me of how much more work I need to do. The sadists who planned the course wouldn’t…

Never Satisfied
I’m doing it again. As the website’s current byline claims: “Never satisfied”, I am reorganizing and streamlining. Project 1: Adding Daphne’s images to her web gallery which is tied into this website http://chrisdenbow.com/dvd Project 2: Migrating all of my images off of both Flickr accounts (6…
