I will never forget hearing ‘Room to Move’ for the first time. My girlfriend had his live album ‘Turning Point.’ I saw him play live in the 1990s in Boulder. He was four years younger than my Dad.

I have owned this domain since 1998. I use it to record my experiences with my dog, Jake:

An Excellent Adventure…
We started traveling in our RV, the Starship Excellent Adventure, in 2021.
So far, we have traveled over 26,000 miles and spent about half a year on the road. We have visited national parks and other scenic locations on the West Coast, Rockies, Southwest, and Appalachians. On our latest trip, we visited America’s Heartland.
Most Excellent!

Tubridy.net
I started my first website as a hobby using the notorious Microsoft FrontPage in the late 1990s. I studied web design at Emory in the late 2000s and became proficient in programming and graphic skills. I eventually did it full-time when I contracted for IBM in the 2010s. I retired at the end of 2019 as a User Experience (UX) Designer who spent over 40 years working in high tech.
This is a hobby for me now. I view it as my legacy since I leave no one behind at the end of the day. You can find other stuff I am interested in or places I have traveled on this site. I will continue to add more until I can’t do it anymore.
Cheers, Jake and Eddie
