I was reminded yesterday that I’ve been remiss in updating the blog. I guess once I got home and started opening the house again and doing the massive amounts of errands, chores, Christmas decorating, and mountains of laundry I forgot to record our last, unplanned, nomading get-away for 2025. So here’s to completion issues. We… Read More A brief stop in Savannah and then home
In absence of actual travel, here’s some ramblings on the concept of “home” that I started back in Colorado. The question that used to throw me when meeting strangers is “What do you do?” They are usually just making curious small talk, and I would try to reply simply that I am retired. But often… Read More Home
My travels from Denver to Florida were long and annoying in the change-planes-and-gates-after-already-boarding kind of way, but relatively uneventful. I arrived back at our home just after dark and in the pouring rain and high humidity that only Florida in July can provide. Also, I had not eaten more than airport grapes since the morning,… Read More Back in New England
I’ve not been great at keeping the socials current with our activities. But just because we are stationary at home for a few months, doesn’t mean we haven’t been exploring. We’ve been trying to enjoy our home state as much as possible this winter. And anytime we can combine Louie with playing tourist I am… Read More Florida Explorations
This weekend we headed three hours west to Crystal River, where the spring-fed waters are a magnet for chilly manatees. Five or so companies have licenses to bring a limited number of people out to passively swim with the manatees in their wild habitat. It was an absolute dream come true for me to snorkel… Read More Birthday dreams come true
We started our second year of nomading adventures relatively close to home. Well, at least in the same state. There’s been a cold snap across the entire country, and Florida has not been immune. So we went south. As south as you can go while still staying in the US. We went to the Keys… Read More The Keys, if you please
It has been a very busy month and I am going to upload a lot of photos to capture some of the incredible memories with the family. It was a whirlwind of a December. Shortly after I arrived, mom and I started the holiday season by decorating our homes and attending an excellent one-man performance… Read More The Holidays in Review
Goodness, but those three months simply flew by, didn’t they? True to my word, I was “home” while here in Barefoot Bay. We both got very comfortable here very quickly, and we resumed all our good habits that keep us healthy, physically and mentally. Eating right, sleeping well, exercising regularly, keeping up with friends and… Read More Who’s ready to travel again?
We’ve been here in Florida for a week now. It’s been warm and wonderful. It is a very sharp contrast from the pace of NYC, and that’s okay. It’s nice to have a mix of energies and activities. We are basically moving in to a new home down here, so there is plenty on the… Read More Chasing t-shirt weather
