Brothers Phoenix Trip #6

Scored inexpensive tickets to the Phoenix Suns - LA Clippers matchup.  The Suns were manhandled but it was still fun.  And it was Suns Football Jersey giveaway night!

Brothers Phoenix Trip #5

Another hike at the Papago Park featuring the Hole in the Rock!

Here we are outside the Pizzeria Bianco.  Famous pizza!

Brothers Phoenix Trip #4

We made it to the Dorsten show.  They were quite good and had recently tried out (and made it) on American Idol

A snap of their setlist proved popular!

Brothers Phoenix Trip #3

We had a chance to visit the ASU Campus (ASU will always mean Arkansas State to us, but in this case, it was Arizona State)

The ASU-Arizona basketball game was going on during our visit.

The oranges looked great - but were not really edible.  Too sour!

Here we are dining in Scottsdale later that night before the big Dorsten show at the ASU-Kerr Center

Brothers Phoenix Trip #2

We discovered a chuckwalla on the Camelback Mountain hike!

Progress towards the top!

Phoenix Brothers Trip #1

Bill and I decended on Phoenix for a week-end of fun including sports, music and outdoor stuff!

His Seahawks jersey drew lots of attention given it was the week before the Super Bowl!

Hiking Camelback Mountain

Nebraska’s Famous Rocks!

Two of them anyway!

Old Chrysler

Elle and I followed an old Chrysler into school recently….

Montreal Notes - Mount Royal

Climbing Mount Royal - great way to go is to head up Rue Peel through McGill College. We came down from Beaver Lake by the hospital and then went down Crescent street for lunch. Then shopped our way down Rue St. Catherine.

End of an Era…

We celebrated our last Thanksgiving at Palmira (aka Hollywood) in Bonita Springs this year.  Rick and Barb are heading North to Georgia after ~16 years in Florida including Vanderbilt, Lavante and Lieto.  On to new traditions in 2026!

Rick and Jack enjoy shooting at The Alamo in Naples.

Rick does some grilling!
