Well, CRAP! I got bitten by a dog on THIS Friday the 13th! That’s a first for me since the 1980’s! That little sucker was bent on mangling me, too, but it failed miserably, I’m happy to report. If I see it again, I will take a picture and call 911 to

On this, my 75th birthday, I want to thank my mom for my life. It hasn’t always been a blessing (or even wanted at times) but, from this vantage point, I’m glad I have it! At about 8:45 last night I was remembering the reality that 75 years ago during those last long, hard,

Today is my 6 month anniversary in Costa Rica. I have been putting it to good use. And also — er — sorta sideways use… Let me explain! After walking this morning to get in the 7500 steps I’m sworn to uphold (I’m at 8,511 steps now, four hours later), I
