Captain’s Log-Day 1 or is it? Going Viral – The CoroNation Staycation.
Traveling with countless microscopic hitchhikers. Well, like many, I’m officially home working remotely for the unforeseeable future. While most events have been cancelled, March Madness is in full swing, but has been moved to Costco. While early brackets saw extra points earned with scoring a rotisserie chicken, the top seeds were seen in the parking…
Captain’s Log-Day 2. Going Viral – CoroNation Staycation.
Traveling with millions of microscopic hitchhikers. Well, we all survived Stay Away Sunday, as we practice social distancing. Today wasn’t so difficult, as I’m secretively anti-social with strangers anyway. However given the new frontier, I thought I’d share The Art of Social Distancing, especially with certain types of characters who are presenting themselves in our…
Captain’s Log-Day 3. Going Viral – CoroNation Staycation.
Traveling with millions of microscopic hitchhikers. Today was the most Monday of Mondays, as we celebrate our best friends in our social distancing, as it was Me, Myself, and I Monday. While all of us turn to medical authority figures like the Surgeon General, Dr. Oz, and Dr. Sanjay Gupta, I found myself turning to Dr.…
Captain’s Log-Day 2 to projected 43. Welcome to the Ortho Ward.
Not traveling with Wounded Knee Twomey. Well, for those of you following along at home, I had my shoulder and bicep surgery yesterday. The month started with Scott’s knee surgery and subsequent bleeding debacle, sick bellies for the dogs, ct scan, and aspirations for the Bumble abscess. Finally, now, I’m the patient. As with marriage…
Captain’s Log-Day 1. Costa Rica Suave.
Traveling with my friend Trish from Mrs. Toralbas’ Spanish Class. Well, about 37 years later, mi amiga and I are trying out our conversational español learned in class. So far we have been successful in getting a taxi (same word in inglese), finding the baño, y ordering cerveza. While we are here for the shoulder…
Captain’s Log-Day 2. Costa Rica Suave.
Traveling with my friend Trish from Mrs. Toralbas’ Spanish Class. We started out by immersing ourselves in nature going to a Nacional Mangrove Forest and Estatuary. On the way over, we met some older Canadians. The gentleman seemed ready for edema season or he was experiencing elephantiasis to become one with animal kingdom. Costa Rica…
Captain’s Log-Day 3. Costa Rica Suave.
Traveling with my friend Trish from Mrs. Toralbas’ Spanish Class. Today, we went on a sunset cruise leaving at 12:45p, since the sun sets at 5:20p. On the drive out, we came right up to a bicyclist, who had been hit by a tour van. He definitely looked muerte to us. That was not the…
Captain’s Log-Day 4. Costa Rica Suave.
Traveling with my friend Trish from Mrs. Toralbas’ Spanish Class. Today was a slow day, hence the Captain’s Log has me and Patty laying like logs by the pool and ocean. Our resort is so isolated that it’s a 15 minute drive to a main road. If it weren’t for the 5 star accommodations, I…
Captain’s Log-Day 5. Costa Rica Suave.
Traveling with my friend Trish from Mrs. Toralbas’ Spanish Class. Today, we left our 1400 square foot suite and traveled 90 minutes to the Bay of Papagayo, where we are staying at El Mangroove, a very hip eco-friendly hotel in the middle of a mangrove forest. We were told by our bellman that at sunset…
Captain’s Log-Day 6. Costa Rica Suave.
Traveling with my friend Trish from Mrs. Toralbas’ Spanish Class. Esta es una dia finalemente. Since it’s our last day here, we did the Mega tour of Buena Vista at Rincon De la Vieja; which consisted of ziplining (bad idea for bad shoulders), water slide (even a worse idea), horseback riding (bad idea for me…
Captain’s Log-Day 1. The Great Grey North.
Traveling with the wayward warrior cheerleaders. Lynne Messner, Ellen DeFlora Sciortino and I mixed it up and instead of going to a Palm Beach spa, we are in Vancouver. The only thing this place has in common with South Florida are the mullets. It’s going to rain the entire vacation, so Lynne is the whitest entity that…
Captain’s Log-Day 2. The Great Grey North.
Traveling with the wayward warrior cheerleaders. Today, we borrowed umbrellas from the polite bellman and went over to Granville Island to the market; which had a huge farmer’s market, shops, and food stands with many foods to choose from like poutine, donuts, salmon or poutine flavored donuts, poutine topped with salmon, or donuts filled with…
Captain’s Log-Day 3. The Great Grey North.
Traveling with the wayward warrior cheerleaders. Today, was like planes, trains, and automobiles as we traveled to Victoria by taxi-ferry-taxi. Victoria, or as I call her, Vickie, is the capital of British Columbia, as parliament sits in its beautiful harbor. Depicted is that government seat during the 15 minutes that it stopped raining on this…
