One of my all-time favorite guitars with a torrefied Adirondack top and high-grade mahogany back and sides. I hope that not too many more years go by before I feel justified in having a Collings such as this one. Collings guitars are viewed by many as the cream of the crop. But it’s a competitive world and there are other small (boutique) builders that rival Collings’s best work. Whenever possible, I believe in spending my money locally, and the Collings facility is in Austin, just forty-five minutes from my country home in Central Texas.
There are some jaw-droppingly gorgeous photos of the D-1 AT on the other side of this link.

Retired engineering professional who enjoys outdoor sports and activities, fitness, technology, nature, my three wonderful dogs and beautiful wife. Most mornings, you will find me writing, while evenings are reserved for playing guitar.
On Writing:
I have had a lifelong interest in writing, but, because of competing interests (other than the vast amounts of technical writing I did for my career in engineering project management), I simply never found the time to take on yet one more time and energy intensive activity. For me. it would have to wait until I retired from my demanding career and, even then for another ten years while I was working a few other important demands to some satisfactory end.
I have spent countless hours travelling around and through the wild spaces of Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Utah, exploring such places while running, backpacking, mountain and road cycling, archery hunting, fly-fishing, alpine and backcountry skiing. Each trip, whether it was for an afternoon run with my dogs or a full month camped in the high county in pursuit of elk during archery season, was an adventure out of the world of my fellow man and into the natural world which couldn't be anymore different.
It is from these experiences, along with things I took interest in during everyday life, that created the memories I write about today. My writing is rather eclectic because I'm a hugely curious person with an insatiable hunger for knowledge on too many fronts to imagine.
You never know what you'll find in your next visit to my site, so I like to think that there's a little something here for everyone.
Thank you for visiting. If you find enjoyment in reading any of my stories, please leave a comment.
Thanks for stopping by!
