CURRENT EVENTS

TODAY IS DECEMBER 4, 1998...

Everything I wanted to convey so far ...my trips and and my list...are "down on line."

TODAY IS DECEMBER 25, 1998...

For Christmas my wife is "giving" me three days this spring to explore the lighthouses of MAINE. How great will that be!!!

TODAY IS MAY 11, 1999...

My MAINE trip covered March 23-25. The log is finished. The links...three pages of them...cover the trip and the forty lighthouses I saw...

TODAY IS JUNE 27, 1999...

I retrieved two belated Father's Day presents from Barnes & Noble. They are books by the Penrose family, one on Eastern Great Lakes' Lighthouses, one on 116 Lighthouses in Michigan. I'm debating a trip that way this fall... or more likely... in the spring...

TODAY IS SEPTEMBER 23, 1999...

I put in for vacation October 12 through October 20. With my Father's Day books and two informative sites, Ogdensburg, NY, will be the starting point to shoot the SEAWAY TRAIL lights of New York.

TODAY is OCTOBER 15, 1999...

Today I returned from taking my trip along the SEAWAY TRAIL. With two short trips over the border I made it from Ogdensburg to Barcelona. I was in Erie, Pa. I was in Fairport Harbor, Ohio. I saw forty lights in just over two days...

TODAY IS NOVEMBER 12, 1999...

I finshed my log, pages seventeen and eighteen. It needs some editing but the thoughts are all down. Obviously the next trip...hopefully this spring...will be to complete the circle around Lakes Erie and Ontario...

I've also found the "Lighthouse Ring" and have been included in their listing of sites...132 as of today. I searched out two who have used ANGELFIRE as their launch. Since mine is all words...and theirs are much more enhanced..I see emails coming...hopefully I'll get returns on how to improve my page.

TODAY IS NOVEMBER 15, 1999...

They relit CAPE HATTERAS light over the weekend...I have the front section of Sunday's CHARLOTTE OBSERVER...picture in the center, above the fold.

TODAY IS DECEMBER 5, 1999...

I can now "hyperlink." This means I can use, properly attributed of course, other's pictures until I learn to scan in my own.

Secondly, I decided to change the format just a bit. Today each page is linked to every other page. As time allows, I will just link the individual trip pages together...and include a return link to the homepage, where all trips are listed.

Lastly, since I readily note the internet sources I use to prepare my trips, I'll link those pages at the end of the trips...sort of a bibliography, in case others want to peek

TODAY IS MARCH 13, 2000...

All the rediting of the pages is complete. ALSO, instead of each page being linked to every other page, now only trips are linked to each other. To go to a new journey you need to return to the introduction.

I also started compiling information necessary to complete the circle of lights around Lakes Erie and Ontario. This trip is tentative for the end of March.

TODAY IS MARCH 31, 2000...

I returned from Canada and Ohio. With all that is going on at work, it should be awhile before pages are updated. I saw 40 plus lights, found numerous errors in the Penrose Book, and saw an Ostrich Ranch.

TODAY IS JULY 27, 2000...

A one day trip in the rain to lights in Rhode Island and Connecticut I missed on prior trips

TODAY IS OCTOBER 9, 2000...

I took the FLYING SANTA CRUISE out of Naragansett Bay in 39 degree temperatures and horizontal rain.

TODAY IS OCTOBER 15, 2000...

I participated in DAY 2 of LIGHTHOUSE 2000, sponsored by the NJLHS, seeing seven of the eleven NJ lighthouses

TODAY IS OCTOBER 19, 2000...

I took the ferry from Atlantic Highlands, NJ to lower Manhattan and back, shooting the lights in NY Harbor, Coney Island, and once and for all, locating the light at Chapel Hill (NJ)

TODAY IS MARCH 24, 2001...

Since Adam's baseball game is in the Bronx, I think I'll just tavel up the cost to Connecticut and shoot some of my favorites...including an assault on Morgan Point

TODAY IS SEPTEMBER 23, 2001...

Back to New England instead of Michigan

TODAY IS JANUARY 17, 2003...

Michigan Trip of October 2002 is in the log...

TODAY IS MARCH 24, 2003...
