Up until a few months ago I was writing quite a few posts, but nothing was good enough to publish. I was really stuck in my head, and would go in circles. My blogs tend to follow the form of planning, doing, and recap. During my COVID year, I wasn’t able to plan. Today I…

Suddenly I Feel Alive Again
I make no bones about it folks. I have been really out of sorts for the past 153 days, since I got stopped in Texas on my way to Mexico. The Airbnbs I have lived in during that time have been nice, and in different times I am sure I would have enjoyed myself immensely….
In Montrose: this is a pretty neighborhood
Today I decided I had better just stop playing Stardew Valley and get back to blogging. I was surprised to see that I had never finished this post. So I am going to get it done now, though it should have been finished a month ago. I will expand it to include the days since…
Down on the (Buffalo) Bayou
When I was going to university in Galveston back in the 70s, I remember hearing about Houston’s Buffalo Bayou. What I remember the most was that bodies were always being found there. More than a few like José Campos Torres, were said to have been put there by the Houston cops. An old college chum…
Adrift in Houston, With Little to Do
All my options and observations in this post are warped by the fact that the world is in the mist of the Covid19 pandemic. If and when this is all over, I will have to revisit my thoughts and see if they still hold true. When I booked my Airbnb in Texas, I was just…
How I ended up adrift in Texas: A Nomad Interrupted continued …
In the days leading up to leaving Peru, there was a lot of rain, and I found it much more interesting to play Stardew Valley on my iPad, than to go out and do things. After 140 days in Peru, I was rather excited to be changing countries again. I have determined that more than…
A short stop in Houston
A good time with good friends, human and otherwise.
A Year of Nomadic Foods
After I sold my place in Honolulu, I was able to stay at a friends place until it was time for me to fly out. I really had no idea of when or even if I would be returning. I have to say, that during that time I ran around eating all my favorite Hawaiian…
Texas: 7, 6 April, 2019
One thing I really like about visiting my friend in Texas, is walking around her neighborhood. Her dog likes this, since I take the dog on my walks. I see some interesting things as I walk. I have been visiting my friend there for about 15 years. Over that time, more and more of the…
A Business Trip: April 3-6, 2019
I had to fly up to Indianapolis on business for a few days. I used Southwest Vacations to book my hotel and rental car at the same time. I have to admit that I will never use Southwest Vacations again. They charged me for my hotel, but didn’t pay the hotel, so I had to…
