I was just sitting here thinking that this is the strangest Easter Weekend ever. Then I am looking for a photo to start me off. Writing I mean. Some photo that will match this weird Easter feeling I have. Then there’s Jim. Jim was my best and most trusted AA friend. Jim drank himself to […]

Monday morning i was doubled over in pain and nausea. My digestive system had decided on revenge. I think it was the curry. A new recipe. It started as heartburn. Then stomach burn. Then gut rumble then, the worst nausea/pain I had ever experienced in my nearly 70 years. There was no choice but to […]

That’s me. Having a squamous cell carcinoma removed from my left jawline. I’m wearing a mask. My doc, Campanelli, who I have a crush on, has a mask, eye protection, and is wearing nearly a hazmat suit. Yup, I said crush. Another blog entry needed there. I’m living through a Global Pandemic. Did you think […]

They assured me that I would be safe going up by myself. Safe from crime, that is. For the hiking, I was on my own! The ranger said it was about 800 or 900 meters up, to get to Paarl Rock. That was the easier hike. I said that I felt I could do that. […]

I think here in South Africa, we have the afraid and the denial groups. I see pretty much no elderly on the streets while, a very popular beach, Clifton, is filled with […]

Rain. Rain in Namibia! I didn’t know there was such a thing! Namibia is one of the least populated and dryist countries in the world. I’m in Windhoek. One of the two largest cities in Namibia. There are only 2.5 million people in the entire country. There are 11 million people in New York City […]

Nails,???, Special Ed, and Nature Boy! I was told not to stay at the 4 Pines Hostel in Catawba, VA. What a huge mistake that would have been! These are just 4 of the countless number of friends that I have made while walking the Appalachian Trail. The??? girl, was injured, and because I had […]

Movie making. Surfing culture. Real African Art. Sensory candy. Yes. I’m back in Cape Town for about 3 weeks. I’m trying to enjoy myself. Last trip brought the true meaning of gun violence into my life. If you follow me, you know that I was held up at gunpoint last year. It never leaves you. […]
