Today was my first real day of freedom in four years. I say that, since last Saturday, I was traveling, and two weeks prior I was traveling, and three weeks prior, well, let’s just say I was still in bar exam Hades. Time passes when you’re having fun, since the last four years have dragged …

Today, for the first time ever, I get to sit out on our back patio and read something I want to read, a.k.a not a law school book. It feels absolutely spectacular outside, both because of my new-found freedom and because the weather is absolutely amazing. This has been both one of the coolest and …
First, I would never make it as a surgical nurse. I am simply not a morning person at all. About two years ago this week, Sweetie suffered an arm injury when Deena, his dirt bike, fell off his truck onto him after a long ride in the woods. He was tired, and the bile is …
Sunday, August 11, leaving DFW, 22:09 You know how the saying goes. What happens in Vegas stays on Vegas. Well, it is just no so with Tahiti. What happens there, you want to continue for a long time. The laid back lifestyle is just part of it. The French influences and people are another. Still …

8 Aout 13, 21h28, Tahiti, French Polynesia Wow. What a fantastic day we had in Moorea! We took the ferry across the ocean, even taking our rental car with us. The whole day cost us about $15.000 Pacific Frank's, including our lunch at this really nice roadside Canadian restaurant, where I had my first crepe …
Tuesday, August 6, 2013, 9:24am, Tahiti, French Polynesia We have a nice room here in Tahiti that overlooks the ocean and the reef far out that causes the ocean surf to pound into waves that crash amongst the rocks. It is beautiful. It is paradise. We are also directly above a koi pond that has …
