Tube to you too...

You know, about 20 years ago, I decided that every second of every day was important. Life is not a dress rehearsal, it's not about waiting until 'some day' for my real life to begin- it was now, in each and every present moment. Thus, I decided not to be a slave to anything, not a big corporation,... Sign in to see full entry.

Anyone for croquet?

Can you remember the smell of the hot sun on green grass, the bright colors on the posts, the wiggly wires shoved into the ground? How about the 'snock!' of the ball when you whacked it? Were you the kind of kid who would madly go after other people's croquet balls or were you focused on the final... Sign in to see full entry.

Learning to ice skate was an early lesson for me in facing my fears. After all, sliding around on hard, slippery ice on two thin blades can be daunting at first. It seems that even when I was young, I was already looking for challenges; I got hooked on skating pretty quickly. My Dad taught me to ice... Sign in to see full entry.

The heart of the matter

I think it's time for another fish story. In Southern California, there are large boats that go out sportfishing, they're called 'cattle boats' and there is a good reason for that. During the hot tuna season, the boats run every day, often leaving at 11pm the night before in order to drive all night... Sign in to see full entry.

A skiing disaster!

Yesterday's post reminded me of the last time I went skiing. It was early in my relationship with Bruce and we were in that stage of figuring out what we liked to do together. He had done a lot of skiing and I had done some Minnesota-type skiing (you know, just point downhill and go) so we decided... Sign in to see full entry.

Skiing in the Desert-- Dubai, United Arab Emirates

I can just imagine how it happened. A bunch of guys were sitting around in the 120 degree desert heat, sweating and drinking tea and one of them says, "Ahkmed, wouldn't it be great to be skiing right now?" Ahkmed says, "You are right about that, friend!" The others chime in about how hot they are.... Sign in to see full entry.

Never sleep while you're driving!

It's about 10:30pm and I'm back home. I missed all you bloggers today- it was a long day; I went over to the desert to have a visit with Mom and, to help her with her computer. When I am doing the computer thing with her, my nickname is "Dr. Anthony," I don't know where this came from but it's the... Sign in to see full entry.

Nanaroo's Kangaroo Story

Ok, here it is, the story of my time ‘down under’! Sadly, I didn’t get to see much of the country at all, just a few kangaroos by the side of the road. This is an internet dating story, one of the early ones, before internet dating was really accepted. During my ‘single’ years, I met him on the... Sign in to see full entry.

Minnesota Honeymoon- Part III

Ok, so it was the next day- kind of—we had been up at 1:30am, 1:45am, 3:00am, and were on our way back from the airport. We had to take two or three quick stops for naps by the side of the road because we were so tired from lack of sleep, napping was the only way we could continue driving. We got...

It was a hot summer night, the wedding was over-- thankfully it had been a very small informal one. Bruce’s mother, Fran, had flown out for the wedding and was staying in a room at the same bed & breakfast as we were. We had been at the lake partying after the wedding, enjoying boat rides and a...
