Travels with Henry, Day 6
This coffee shop still life comes to you from Coffee & Company at 53 Pricess Street in Kingston, Ontario. Impressively, it has no web site. Which is not to say it’s unwired; most of us are bent over screens of … Continue reading
Travels with Henry, Day 5
This is Jim Buczkowski, with whom I visited in his office at Ford Motor Company yesterday, Day 5 of our drive across America and Canada to Boston. Jim has been involved with Ford’s SYNC/MyFord Touch project since the beginning. Which … Continue reading
Travels with Henry, Day 3
After 440 miles on the road, we arrived in Joliet, Illinois, at about 5 p.m. today. I’m becoming a connoisseur of the punchy, disoriented state that settles in after a long drive. In the photo above, Darlene is unpacking stuff … Continue reading
Travels with Henry, Day 2
Even though we only drove 150 miles today, I feel fried and disoriented tonight, glad we can crash for the night at Darlene’s sister’s home in Omaha. Claire enjoyed prowling Deb’s lush garden in the back yard, as shown in … Continue reading

Travels with Henry, Day 1
We left Denver at 8:30 a.m., a half hour past our planned departure time. We lost another half-hour shortly afterward, when the navigation lady on our 2012 Ford Focus lost her voice. I hoped a call to the MyFord Touch … Continue reading

Sunday Morning in Casper, Wyoming

Sunday Morning in Harvard Square
It’s a gray, chilly day so far in Harvard Square. I was surprised to find a free table at Darwin’s Ltd., our neighborhood’s classic independent coffee shop with attitude. The frosted lemon scone is delicious, and the dark-roast coffee is … Continue reading
Tinted Windows on Soweto
Our big, white tour bus took us to the township of Soweto this morning. A tall man with a shaved head and large smile stepped aboard as we left the Protea Hotel Wanderers and introduced himself in his native tongue, … Continue reading
Wanderers Head to the Mall
The Wanderers Club, established by rugby players in 1888, was a fitting place for our supper tonight. It’s located a few steps from our hotel, overlooking the bowling greens. Bowling green? There was no bowling going on, so I can … Continue reading

London Calling
We won’t be seeing much of London this trip, except for a nice hotel for about seven hours before we depart Heathrow tomorrow morning for Johannesburg. Six hours on the American flight from Boston went remarkably fast. The three of … Continue reading
