A picture of our dog Chocolate, born January 2003, died January 2005. He was friendly and smart and had too short a season.

Various Pastimes

Wanna build a telescope? Here are some links and telescopes I've built. More generally, I like building things out of wood, e.g., Isaac's Playhouse.

Terre Haute is a rather nice place to bicycle. There are lots of cyclists and lots of weekly rides.

I am a board member for the National Road Heritage Trail (the goal is to develop a cross-state multi-use trail from Terre Haute to Richmond.) Here we are biking a portion of the trail (yet a bit undeveloped).

Coming soon: Terre Foods Cooperative Market, a member-owned natural and local foods market in Terre Haute.
