One of my non-blog blog readers had something to say, which is nice. They liked the travel posts from England better than the current production. We ended with a promise to get together and share half-lies, speculation, and innuendo. I like the plan because I like good readers with a lively opinion.
TRAVEL PLANS FOR HUSBAND AND WIVE JOY
June 20, 2024 by
Travel plans for a couple means cooperation. If you are having trouble communicating, take a trip to clear things up. There’s something special about arguing six thousand mile away from home. What’re you gonna do? Get along.
REIMAGINE, REUSE, RECYCLE, BABY BOOMERS
June 19, 2024 by
What’s the best example of reimagine, reuse, recycle? Old tires? Worn out shoes? Tea towels? Last I checked there’s a way to reuse old paint if it’s not dried in the can. What about old baby boomers who aren’t dried in the can?
EVERYDAY BLOGGER ON EVERYDAY TOPICS
June 10, 2024 by
An everyday blogger needs to stay sharp to what’s happening around them. If they don’t pay attention, they won’t be able to write a blog post. I’ve been cooking one up this morning, but I changed my routine. Instead of getting up, making tea, and sitting down to compose, I went to the gym. It […]
TRAVEL SCHEDULE? KEEP IT FLEXIBLE
June 8, 2024 by
A travel schedule works right up until it doesn’t. You get to the airport early only to find out the plane is late, the gate has changed, and it took a minute to lose your boarding pass. Still, you remain calm and collected and make plans to overcome problems, just like real life. But travel […]
HOME STRETCH FROM LONDON TO PORTLAND
June 7, 2024 by
The home stretch is the payoff for travelers. Under budget, on time, no lost passports or ID? Check. Spend the last night in London relaxing and resting up for the nine hour flight in the morning? Wouldn’t that make sense? Resting up to sit for nine hours? Or . . .
STREET SMART ENGLAND, OR WHY THE DOUR FACE
June 4, 2024 by
Street smart: Leaving the house and walking on a busy city sidewalk. Things to remember: Everyone isn’t your friend, deserve your smile, or wants a hug. What’s the proper facade in public? A dour expression.
LAST ROOM AT THE END OF THE LINE
June 3, 2024 by
The last room of a six stop roadie through England is the most expensive per square foot. It’s an impressive number due to the square feet. The smallest of the six, it’s on Bayswater, a half a block from the Notting Hill Gate into Hyde Park. Queen-sized bed in a queen-size bed slot tight enough […]
BEATLES LIVERPOOL FROM THE M6
May 31, 2024 by
The Beatles Liverpool showed up on the way from Lancaster to Cambridge. Should I stop and look around? Pose by the statue? At the very least, sing a few Beatles songs on the way by? Me: Honey, take a music video of the Beatles Liverpool sign, and me singing. Her: Really?
LANCASTER TO CAMBRIDGE? MISSION POSSIBLE
May 30, 2024 by
Lancaster to Cambridge after eight days in Thurnham Hall? Looking at a four hour drive after six hours riding around the Lake District. Luckily I had a decompression day yesterday for lifting in the gym, a sauna, and a walk out in the fields before a nice dinner. Vacation, right? Or ‘Mission Possible.’
