Wow, it has been over a month since my last update. I need to pay closer attention! Texas is throwing out all kinds of surprises. The weather is one. It has been raining a lot lately. Not just sprinkles, but flash flood levels of water. The first time it did it, the roads in the … More Still looking ahead
I am one month into this new adventure. The new job is good, albeit in complete chaos. But, that is ok. I kind of specialize in calming the storms. I am lucky, I think, that the people who work for me are nice and quite capable. That isn’t always the case. I look up plane … More Texas, I guess we’re doing this
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?
We made it to the Soju museum and there were, indeed, shots at the end but we did not partake. After our 4-mile walk in the sun and our tour of the museum, giving 46% alcohol to the 13-year-old seemed like a bad idea. We got to see quite a bit of the other side … More Korea and back again
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
We have returned to Washington. Our trip from Panama was pretty uneventful, but long. We left the beach at noon on March 1. It was actually a holiday that day. I did not know this when I booked a shuttle to drive us to our hotel. We heard horror stories about how backed-up traffic was … More And, we’re back
I feel like Frodo coming out of the fires of Mount Doom in Mordor. A huge weight is lifted and all of a sudden I can remember the taste of strawberries. It is amazing. I don’t actually enjoy strawberries, but it is good to remember that. The closing took place on the 19th, 7 days … More It is done
Holy crud, this has been a long and stressful month! I can’t remember the last time I quit my job, sold all my belongings, moved back across the country, sold a house, and bought a plane ticket to Central America with really no idea what will come next in the course of 2 months. Oh … More It is on like Donkey Kong
We made it to Washington safe and sound. The sun was shining and it was warm. Beautiful day! The whole state dressed itself up to welcome us home… Ha! That was yesterday. The sun has disappeared behind the constant layer of clouds – part of the reason I left – and the temperatures are going … More New state, who dis?
We are out of the apartment! We cleared everything out and headed to the hotel. This is the fourth hotel I have stayed in in Florida. What is it with the smell in these places? I think the damp has settled in and there is no saving them. I say burn them down. On Friday, … More See you later, alligator!
