OK. So you’re a baby boomer. Being in your 50′s or 60′s you find yourself conjuring up memories of days gone by. You find your mind interested in things you experienced as a child. “Back in the day” is a large part of your conversational repertoire. And there’s that yearning for things nostalgic. You want [...]
Erin has been here for a week now and Ryan and Carolyn came for an overnight stay the other day. Running around with them and just spending time reminiscing causes daily chores to get overlooked. Such as taking time to procure necessities from the grocery store. The other morning I got up early to run [...]
I spent most of the remainder of the weekend just puttzing. I had to stick around for pre-operative tests that are mandatory for the upcoming surgery. I felt a bit guilty as I knew Robin was back at the cafe and would be busy as hell on a Sunday. That’s usually our busiest day of [...]
I got a late start on Friday after work, trying not to forget to pack any essentials. As soon as I hit the turnpike my eyes were drawn to the smoke and fire. Capturing a photo while doing 70mph was not the brightest idea. But I seem to have a knack of seeing theunusual more [...]
We have three consecutive days off every week. And you know me, I can’t sit still for very long. Off days are saved for golf at least once and maybe twice each week. And by the way, Robin is getting so much better. If I could only golf as well as I teach the game, [...]
I’m going to give this one last shot, for two reasons. I had to go to the vet today. It seems as if I have some kind of rash that I picked up while trekking below the 36th parallel this winter. So it seems I’m back on the steroids for a few weeks until this [...]
The past several days have been a blur of driving. There is a quest to “get back” for personal, business, and medical appointments that need to be met. As a result the ‘Rule of 350′ went out the window. That rule mandated that we not travel more than 350 miles in a day or get [...]
It was just a few more hours down the road into Monument Valley, which is just inside the Utah border. The most significant part of the journey was traversing through the Navaho Indian Reservation. Vast expanses of nothingness and then dotted here and there with a mobile home, trailer, shanty, or occasional hut. I had [...]
I bid farewell to my fellow deckmates today. Robin snapped a photo of Phil, myself, Ed, and Paul. The bookends both are California boys. Ed is another Pennsylvanian that has moved permanently to Arizona. However, after spending the last six weeks with me, he’s decided to purchase another motorhome and get back on the road. [...]
On our morning walk we came upon Bernie and his wife cleaning out their trailer. They had sold it and were preparing to make room for the many designer purses they sell. Since my bike was out of our trailer and I had the room, I offered them use of mine. In the conversational exchange [...]
