We’ve been in San Miguel de Allende for one week already. There is a lot of culture, history, and art to take in and appreciate. I love that we are pacing ourselves because we have the luxury of a month to explore what is quickly becoming one of our favorite destinations. We aren’t alone in… Read More The hidden world of San Miguel de Allende
In my last post I talked a little about this weird and wonderful thing that we are doing, our version of nomading. It’s not always easy to explain, and it’s definitely not always easy to do. We are figuring it out as we go. Essentially we are living — not vacationing — where we travel,… Read More Weird and wonderful
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
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
Our time here in New Hampshire is drawing to a close this week. It’s time to say goodbye to our northern home, where we lived, worked, played, and worked out all summer and into the fall. For over four months, I drove most days to Sanford, Maine, to use the closest YMCA with a pool.… Read More New England streams of consciousness
We left the Badlands and made the long drive through farmlands to Chicago. We stayed in the Wicker Park neighborhood for a week, and became quite smitten with the city. The first time we were in Chicago was almost a decade ago, and then it was only for a long weekend. The city has only… Read More One Week in Chicago
Montana June 21, 2024 I guess I’m trying to put memories in amber by writing them. Trying to hold on to the feelings, the excitement, the view. The sky was painted horizontal and layered, dark and beautiful. We were chasing the moon in Bozeman through green pathways and a misty haze that accompanies a delicious… Read More Chasing the moon: a love story
I’ve been mulling something over for a while. I think I’ve finally realized what I’m feeling, but I’m no closer to being able to explain it than I was when I first started experiencing the tugging in my heart. So I think I’ll pull on some threads here and see what I uncover. I am… Read More The heart wants what the heart wants
The third week was a continuation of essentially trying to live a normal life. Every day during the week included the gym, Spanish lessons for me, work for Larry, basic chores and provisioning, and then out for dinners in the evenings. It was incredibly rainy on Monday, and many places around here simply are not… Read More Week Three in Buenos Aires
Laura was late for class. She was never late. In fact, until now, she was always the first one there. When she finally arrived she was wearing a thick, white hoodie over her raven long hair. She kept her eyes down, her usual, easy smile missing. I was concerned but couldn’t do much more than… Read More seething
