Playing Catch Up With My Neglected Blog

By Andrew Hughes, Atlanta, blog, Georgia, personal

I just checked and it has been almost half a year since I have regularly posted a blog article. A lot has happened since that time. Most of it has been very good, but there have been a few tragedies too.

Mainly, I have been burning the candle at both ends keeping up with a hectic and demanding freelance schedule. At times I felt like a juggler tossing knives and flaming torches… and luckily, nothing got dropped… except this blog and maybe cleaning the house on a regular basis.

Anyway, stay tuned in the coming weeks as I try to catch up with the backlog of articles and thanks for reading.

Team Murphy Raises $3465 for Diabetes Research in the Tour de Cure

By Bicycling, Diabetes, personal, Tour de Cure

We could not have had a better day to ride 50K for the Georgia Tour de Cure, a long distance bike ride to raise money for Diabetes Research. The morning started out chilly, it rained and then finally the weather turned warm and windy. The event was so well organized that I am already looking forward to next year. If you like riding bikes and want to do something worthwhile, you should think about riding next year.

Thanks to everyone who’s generous donations helped me raise $325. Team Murphy did even better raising $3465.

Trip to San Francisco

By personal, photography, san francisco, travel

San Francisco - Golden Gate Bridge
Jenny and I took a short working trip to San Francisco, CA. It was a whirlwind trip and we experienced lots of sights and sounds including seeing a hit and run pedestrian accident. I think we walked 20 miles one day. Note to self, things are much further than they appear on a map.

Alcatraz had a strange calmness about it that belies its history. THE Golden Gate bridge is spectacular. The city’s food is excellent, but our internal time clocks messed up our eating schedule. The trolley cars are memorable. China town is a trinket shopper’s delight. We saw a photographic exhibit of Annie Lebowitz that blew us away. I recognized much of the work already. I would like to get back to see the rest of the city that we did not get to this time.

When we landed back in Georgia, our plane hit an air pocket and we dropped like a rock. The passengers let out a collective scream before the plane started flying again. Whew! dodged another bullet…
