A personal journal demonstrating life is not a straight line but a meandering passage.

Old Days: Belt and Pulley
Innovation has often transformed labor and industry. One example is the belt and pulley power transfer system, a technology that revolutionized how energy was used in farming and manufacturing. Before the 19th century, work was done manually, relying on brute strength and simple tools to complete tasks that required considerable time and effort. In the…
Meandering Passage, Reflections After Nineteen Years
Redesigning the home page of “Meandering Passage” (once again) and nearing its nineteenth anniversary put me into a reflective mood about its name and what it’s come to mean to me. For as long as I can remember, I’ve seen life’s journey more as a winding road with unexpected turns and detours than a straight…
Luck Often Takes Less Work Than Skill
While I had seen bluebirds in the area, I noticed that they seldom came to feed from this feeder due to the type of seeds it offers. These two must be hungry. In the past, when I was feeding dehydrated mealworms from a different kind of feeder, they were regular visitors. But, I had to…
It’s A Small Thing
We received only a minuscule amount of snow, sleet, and freezing rain from the overnight storm. Even Atlanta, which is further south, experienced much more snow and ice. However, it was beautiful this morning as the ice reflected the sunlight. The local TV weather forecasters went crazy with their predictions and coverage, despite it mostly…
…and Happy New Year!
A couple of days ago, this was my attitude. 😉 This past Friday, we discovered our refrigerator/freeze had quit cooling sometime prior. It was a model with a linear compressor, which is usually silent but runs constantly and adjusts the cooling as needed, keeping the temperatures more even while being more efficient. It all sounds…
Between The Past And The Future
“I do an awful lot of thinking and dreaming about things in the past and the future – the timelessness of the rocks and the hills – all the people who have existed there. I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape – the loneliness of it, the dead…
This blog:
“Meandering Passage,” has reflected my journey since 2006. The term ‘Meandering’ signifies a winding path or perhaps slowing down and observing, while ‘Passage’ represents both a physical journey and a written excerpt, both of which describe the evolution of content over the years in this blog.
Initially focused on Apple Mac computers, the blog has transformed into a personal photoblog and a journal of life events and perhaps a few lessons learned. While I can’t predict its direction in a year, I hope it continues to evolve.
Me:
I am the owner and primary editor of “Meandering Passage,” a platform where I publish information, document personal observations, and share my photography.
I see my life as a “Meandering Passage,” filled with diverse experiences. I grew up on a farm, served in the United States Air Force, and worked in Information Systems as a programmer, designer, and manager for an international manufacturing company. I also spent time as a motorcycle mechanic and traveled full-time in an RV. I’m now retired, but am still actively in the process of self-discovery.
Maggie was our beloved furry companion and inspiration contributor, who is sadly no longer with us.
