The glossophobe judge

January 25, 2015 by Dave Knadler

Yesterday I served as a judge for an oratorical contest put on by the American Legion. I’m not sure why I agreed to do it. Normally, I scrupulously avoid any activity that might involve meeting new people. I am one of those introverted types who can pass as personable for a few minutes at […]

Better get it on paper

January 4, 2015 by Dave Knadler

We’ve lived in this old house for nearly five years now, and still don’t have a lot of pictures on the wall. So today I uploaded the above photo of my granddaughter Ruby and ordered an 11×14 print at Walgreen’s. They had it ready in just under an hour. Then I went to Target […]

Morning on the water

January 1, 2015 by Dave Knadler

kayaking thomas creek florida

Today we took the kayaks out to Thomas Creek, which is as a good a way as any to start out a new year. Our friends Ryan and Jackie joined us for an easy paddle on glassy water, a four-mile round-trip under cloudy skies. Temperature was a little under 60 — a pleasant coolness […]

Time goes by

November 17, 2014 by Dave Knadler

Here’s a little time-lapse video I made yesterday, just because I could. Nothing very dramatic, just another twilight at Casa del Dave in Springfield. That’s the Three Layers wine bar and coffee house across the street. As you can see, it was kind of a slow night. The camera was on a tripod on […]

The walkin’ man

November 13, 2014 by Dave Knadler

According to my Fitbit dashboard, I’ve walked a little over 2,800 miles since acquiring the device in May 2013. That’s pretty close to 6 million steps. If I’d set out on foot to visit my daughter in Seattle, right about now I’d be striding along somewhere past Ellensburg, Wash. (And dreading Snoqualmie Pass, no […]

Autumn elsewhere

October 7, 2014 by Dave Knadler

So long. Farewell. Auf wiedersehen, adieu. Also, arrivederci. The brunette and I are off to the continent. First to a little town in Italy, and then to a big town in France. We’re calling it a 15th anniversary trip, even though it coincides with a niece’s wedding in Santa Margherita Ligure and some work-related […]

For your listening pleasure

September 11, 2014 by Dave Knadler

And now for something fiction-related: One of my stories is now available as a podcast. Remember podcasts? They were those sound files you could get on the Internets and listen to on a device called an “iPod.” Apparently that’s still a thing, even if iPods are not. A few months back I was contacted […]
