They say news comes in threes. Seems that happened this morning. Unfortunately, it’s not all good news. I’ll keep it short: 1: Edi’s older sister has taken a turn for the worse. She’s had multiple health problems which have increased in number and severity over the last few years. Though … Continue reading →

I was a bit surprised yesterday morning when I woke up, opened the curtains, and saw thick fog. It sprinkled a bit the previous night but it seemed nice overall. I had gotten used to the surprisingly good weather in Anchorage and felt kinda ‘down’ with all the fog. We … Continue reading →

Someday, I might get around to writing AIDS part one (no, you didn’t miss it). That would actually be about the AIDS you’re thinking about (the disease related to / caused by the HIV virus). But this isn’t about Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome… There are some serious drawbacks to working … Continue reading →

There ought to be a law against airline flights departing before 6:00 a.m. Or maybe even 7:00 a.m. My departure this morning at 5:20 a.m. hurt pretty bad, especially after an hour+ drive to Manchester and not sleeping at all. I mean, what’s the point in going to bed when … Continue reading →

I’m not really into birthdays. I quit being so interested in mine when stuff became much less important to me. And I suppose it’s less important partly because stuff really isn’t that important (save my laptop…), and partly because I now have way too much of it. But I’m not … Continue reading →

An Airline Captain went out on a first date with a girl who, of course, he hoped would become his girlfriend. He took her to a nice restaurant for dinner. They sat down and ordered their meal. Since she didn’t start right up with conversation, he decided to start talking. … Continue reading →
