Today is a snow day for me. We had several last year, but this is the first one of winter 2015-16 here in Little Rock. It was absolutely beautiful this morning, and I have been up since about 6:30 enjoying the day. Last night was also wonderful. For the very first time in nearly 16 …

Rain on a Ship
16 Janvier 2016, 16:00 CST, south of Houston Today has been another wonderful day at sea. We are about to run into a rain storm, with high winds. That makes me a bit nervous, as the thunder begins to roll across the top of the boat, but I'm sure this boat has been through worse. …
On Time, Allotted Efficiently
16 Janvier 2016, 11:25 CST,headed north to Houston Time is a funny thing. When you have too much of it, say when you are waiting at the DMV, you feel like it will never pass quickly enough. When you don't have much of it, say when you are lamenting on the last day of your …
eDisharmony
13 Janvier 2016, between 9:30-11:00 pm, CST, somewhere in the Western Caribbean near Belize Tonight was epic. We ate dinner, we got drinks. We went outside to sit and walk along the railing on the promenade deck. We then went inside and happened upon a good piano player / singer playing tunes we could all …
A Coffee and A Sit
12 Janvier 2016, 14:32 CST, off the coast of something (as I can see land) I've stayed inside most of the day today, not because I'm allergic to the outdoors, but because it's more comfortable for me for some reason. It could be that it's just been so cold that I'm finally warming up. It …

10 Janvier 2016 Today, after a several hour delay, we set sail from the Port of Houston, also known as La Porte, Texas. South east of Houston, La Porte has a small beach area and tons of shipping and refineries. A quiet little spot, it only took us about an hour or so, guessing, to …
Costa Maya, Revisited
13 Janvier 2016, 15:39 CST, Costa Maya, Mexico We have been here before, before the category five hurricane that decimate this small place. There was the usual shopping right off the pier, attractive to those who have never been here before. An attractive nuisance to those of us who have. There was also a small …
Christmas Magic
26 December 2015 There is something wonderfully magical about a glittering Christmas tree. As I sit here in the late evening hours, in front of the tree, on the floor of my study, looking at the tree and all of our ornaments, I feel the magic of Christmas surrounding me. The ornaments are from all …
Already Exhausted
Christmas morning, 2015, Ferndale, Arkansas Today is Christmas. It's our first official Christma without children in the house, other than the fur child of course. She's already exhausted, after all the excitement of Santa and opening gifts. She loves opening presents and the mere mention of the words "Santa is coming" is enough to to …
It Started with a Vacuum
The downfall really started with a vacuum. It was at least 10 years old, and I really hated it. I had nightmares about that brand of vacuum in high school, as a friend's mom had one and I swear it tried to eat my ankle once. So, after we moved again, I decided to sell …
