I’ll be interested to see what my altered diet here in Costa Rica is doing to my INR level. I’m due for another “finger poke” next week (here in CR, it’s actually a blood draw) to see if adding rice, refried beans and avocada (on occasion) more abundantly to my diet has altered it […]

T-WRECKS SUCKS!!!! I’m allowing myself one political post per month. But I shouldn’t call it political. I should call it existential these days. My trans brothers and sisters (and theydies and gentlethems) are fleeing the United States as fast as they humanly can. They’re seeking sanctuary or asylum wherever they can

Laurie Barron has her eye on me. I need to make two corrections to earlier blog posts. She says the lizard image she sent me … this one … .. …is not an immature iguana but some kind of basilisk lizard. I’m wondering if it’s the species nicknamed “the Jesus lizard”. I can’t see

I’m back from the trip to Grecia. I decided to use Uber today. The driver was a gal who wants to learn more English, and I told her I wanted to learn more Spanish, so we’ve made arrangements to travel together whenever I go into town. She got a wee bit lost coming to

Good morning, dear ones! First thing this morning, early, I walked my bag of basura (trash) to the main road. Pickup is Mondays and Thursdays but the container for it is always sitting there, so it’s possible to put stuff in there on any day. And by pickup day it’s usually crammed full. This
