Beth and I have begun organizing our little home in Youngsville, NY so that the summer boarders can take over our place and we can begin our yearly travel adventure. This year, we are spending July at an RV park 45 minutes east of here. Then it’s on to LBI for the first two weeks …
I have a sweet tooth. I am one of those guys who almost never has just one cookie…unless it’s a black and white from the local diner which, let’s face it, is really a small cake. (Our friend, Barbara, recently got me interested in black and white cookies. According to her, some are chalky and …
It’s a truly beautiful Spring day in the northeastern USA. After a brutal winter when the temperature regularly dipped into single digits, when we couldn’t see green for months – the sky is blue, the robins and bunnies are every where as are the folks walking through town clad in shorts and sandals.

Last night, we took a break from our usual green, grain and healthy protein dinner and celebrated Super Bowl Sunday with an off-the-grid treat.

We have arrived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where we will be staying for the next week. The gig is our first foray into remote dog sitting, but it’s also going to be a week of self-care and music-making. We’ve brought along some instruments and we’re also in a home with a baby grand piano and a …
I avoid political commentary in this space because ya’ll can get your fill many other places. “Beth and Scott’s Adventure” is about the journeys we take, the people we meet and the inner transformative experiences that take place along that path. But I would feel incredibly dishonest if I did not mention the proverbial elephant …
Our February trip to Oaxaca, Mexico has been put on hold. Due to some unforeseen medical expenses and a lighter than usual winter-spring calendar, we opted to cancel our plans to investigate Mexico as an ex-pat retirement location…for now. Instead, we are going to Lancaster, PA where we will be staying in a stranger’s home …
