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…
Cooking Class, and where it led: April 2, 2019
One of the high points of my visit to my friend in Houston, was going to a cooking class in the Central Market HEB. I had never been to one of the Central Markets before, and was quite impressed. To be honest I didn’t want to go to the cooking class. Her husband was supposed…
Honolulu: March 26 -27, 2019
My visit in Honolulu was only two weeks, but I had a lot of fun while I was there. My friend introduced me to kale smoothies. I gutted my backpack and left some things I no longer need in the storage unit. I spent time with great friends. I took a lot of photos; some…
Walking in Paradise: March 25, 2019
One of the things that bugs me … a lot, is when the media slants news coverage to make other countries seem to be bad places, based on a few instances of bad actions of some bad actors. When I headed to South America, many of my friends warned me to be safe, because the…
Lunch at Julia’s: March 22, 2019
One of the nice things about only being home for two weeks, was that my friends made a concerted effort to see me. My union rep, hearing that both Diana and I were in town, invited us to lunch. He brought along two of the guys. When so many union members show up for a…
Walking Around Honolulu: March 21, 2019
The main reason I had to come back to Honolulu was to see all my doctors and my CPA. I really don’t feel like choosing a new base of operations right now. The week was busy with appointment after appointment. I took advantage of being home to go to Lorrain at Connie Gale’s, to get…
