I never get involved in the drama. I'm here for the fun of blogging and the enjoyment of being part of global communities of interesting people. Quite honestly, I have no idea what has gone down. That

Excellent step count. Those are great days, when we cross the 10k barrier!

Congratulations on getting back out running. That must be nice to have your little running companion. I have experienced that itching feeling before. I didn't realize it was a normal experience if you

Wow, @jasonbu. I just came across this post. Congrats on your book. What an enormous effort that must have been. Good luck! I hope you sell a million copies. 😀

I love those colorful umbrellas, and how the light shines through them. You captured those scenes at the perfect time of day!

Oh my that act by The Devil of Cumana sounds terrifying! I can understand why it would leave an indelible mark on you. I loved reading about your coffee shop experience, and hearing about life in Venezuela,

Looks like you're having fun exploring silver stacking! I have not gotten involved yet. I keep sitting on the sidelines and thinking "I can't do one more thing." Ah, the state of Oregon. That

Oh my gosh. That's great that you guys play, @silvertop! I'm trying to play regularly two days a week. It's definitely addicting!

Thank you for sharing that, @offgridlife! I'm going to try it. I take photos and videos ALL the time. I've just been nervous about putting my stuff out there on YouTube... I thought I'd have to be on camera,
