Anyway, haven’t managed that particular dream yet.  BUT, I have ended up with a website about hiking in South Jersey.  I go out, usually with some number of my four children, and we go on an adventure on a trail in South Jersey.  Then I do a little write up about the trail and put some pictures up.  Occassionally, I even spell words right.

So back in December, I did a presentation on hiking along the Delaware in South Jersey for the Delaware River Greenway Partnership via Zoom.  It was great, because anyone who threw rotten vegtables at me only his their own computer screens.
