It’s February 29th, the day that comes around once every four years.  At least that what the calendar says.  Otherwise, it simply feels like… today… and that’s a day that comes around every day. We’ve gotten rid of the rental car and are planning to spend the next week here in Paradise just sitting around, […]

It’s 10:47 in the morning. We have already cooked and eaten breakfast, cleaned up the kitchen, hung out with the family in the next bungalow, greeted the 6″ long salamander who keeps checking out my toes from less than a foot away as if they are edible, taken a bunch of photos, showered and gotten dressed, […]

Woke up this morning to discover that I have 1,500 new neighbors, courtesy of the cruise ship that docked early this morning at the town pier about 1/2 mile down the beach.  Fortunately, it glided in quietly and didn’t affect my sleep.  Other than the slightest hint of reggae music wafting across the sand and […]

Sitting on the patio facing the ocean, twenty feet away.  Two palm trees flank the pool between me and the wide expanse of water.  A white egret is facing me, drinking from the pool.  Or maybe it’s a heron… I really don’t know the difference.  If I lived here I’d know.  I’d also know why […]

Today we leave.  Traveling a quarter way around the world to a place where we can lay back, relax, take it easy… and, oh yes, swim and snorkel in warm, crystal clear water.  I remember when we first moved to San Francisco and felt the different energy from upstate New York and the East Coast. […]

One day to go before we leave on the trip.  Time to pack, time to double check that the cat is taken care of, the plants will be watered, the cars are not parked in places where they have to be moved on street cleaning days.  Time to remember what we forgot before we forget […]

Two days until we leave on our trip, and just to make sure everything is working as it should, I am writing this blog from the laptop.  From the other end, providing everything works, it should make no difference.   Of course, I won’t have access to all the files I have on my home computer, […]

My wife is off at the vet’s with the cat.  She… the cat… not knowing any better… has been scratching her ear and has opened up some not very pretty sores which bleed and detract from the otherwise beautiful, serene  vision of a Siamese princess. She has been wearing a collar around her neck over […]

Before today ends, I will send out the quantum physics article.  WooHoo.  It really is amazing what you can do when you focus on doing it.  In fact, 1 hour and 45 minutes after that last sentence was written, it has now been sent and resent by the recipient to eight others.  Let’s see what […]

Less than a week to go before the trip.  It’s clearly time to start thinking about what I’m going to need to take. Part of this trip is to see if we could live in an island setting, so bringing the laptop computer and making sure it is set for me to continue my blogs […]
