There was a family reunion at my sister's house so I included a visit to NYC.

John was speaking in Bologna and planned to fly in-and-out, but it had been some years since we were there and I couldn't resist joining him and making a long weekend of it.

Every spring there is a gathering in Beauvenchain, Belgium of audiophiles called Lenco Heaven (named after a turntable) that John likes to attend. We first went a few years ago and were enchanted. The compound is owned by an artist and everything about the location is...

Cologne is a 2,000-year-old city on the Rhine River. The twin-spired Cathedral is omnipresent. It is a UNESCO site and like most of Germany was heavily bombed during WWII. Outside the cathedral there's a photo exhibit of the destruction, a testament to the madness of w...

Our trip to Finland began with an overnight ferry weaving through the Stockholm archipelago to Helsinki. The views were spectacular, especially as the sun slowly set. Twilight lasted for hours that far north.
