Well, remember how I told you it would not be six months before I wrote again. Straight-up lies. I don’t know where the time goes or why it is so hard to sit still and write something down, but it all just happens and—whoosh—it is six or nine months later. I have no excuses. That … More Lies, all lies
I had an amazing trip. I can say the arid, dry climate put me off the islands in the Aegean, but I did go in July with temperatures already in the 100s. That’s on me. I will go in June next time… Let’s start at the beginning. I got to Athens Wednesday, July 5. I … More Greece, Όπα!
It has been too long since I wrote an update. It seems as though time is flying by. I have already been to Italy and back since I last wrote something, and will soon be taking a trip out to Washington with Axel to see my brand new (well, not so new anymore) niece, Betty. … More April is here already?
I am sitting in Denton, Texas right now contemplating the future. I am desperately thinking of ways to extend my travels, but, alas, I signed the paper that says I will be at work Monday. What was I thinking?!? Since the last entry, I have spent two weeks in Omak, been to Scotland, Iceland, and … More What’s next?

It is very interesting being a total tourist and not understanding anything. I must say that it is not as … More Let’s learn Korean!
A LOT has happened this month. Some good, some meh. Let’s start from the top. As you know, I am back in Washington. I have gone to see Lawrence in Texas. Lydia came down to Vancouver with Axel for spring break and we hung out there. Then, I went to Bellingham with Lydia for a … More Well, that was unexpected
Before we left the US, the Omicron variant was starting to take a tour of Europe. It had not gotten to the US, yet, and vaccinations had been ramped up. By the time we got here, Omicron was just starting to hit the eastern US. It didn’t take it long to spread all over and … More As the pandemic turns…
Yes, yes I do! That’s what we did last Wednesday. We decided to take a field trip day from school to go to the actual Panama Canal… because we can. We took the bus from our road on the Panamerican Highway – you know, where the footbridge crosses at El Nazareno – to Albrook Mall, … More Hey, wanna go to the Panama Canal?
Here is an update on where we are and what we’re doing next. The place we have rented is fine, and for what we paid, it has a lot. This one, after the discounts and specials, came to a total of $330. That is less than our regular two nights, not even full days, at … More What do you do?
