Maybe I'm overthinking, but "Good Luck" doesn't seem like the most appropriate thing to write on a restaurant's doors.

"Good luck! Hope you don't get botulism!"

They are predicting a record low tonight. I'm pre-preparing my insides.

Good advice

Repost your home river.

This is "home" as in where I was born. It's the North Canadian River in Oklahoma. It's not particularly beautiful.

Why should 2026 be any different from all my previous years?

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go

Hmmmmm. No comment, but stirs hope. Or should I say "A New Hope"?

What was your first automobile? This was mine:

Tuesdays have the Farmer's Market ( Λαϊκή Αγορά ) in our neighborhood. I get a little socially intimidated by these sorts of things in my own language, but now adding in Greek makes it more intimidating. However, we managed and walked away with a lot of produce for the week!

As i was packing for the move, I ran across my World AIDS day T-Shirt from 1994 (I was in graduate school). It's a cool shirt and I'm glad I kept it.

The dogs have done well on the ferry. The potty situation isn't ideal for them and there have been some accidents, but overall it's been fine.
Just a few more hours until we dock at Patras for the final leg of the journey!

After multiple days of driving across Italy, we are finally on the ferry from Ancona to Patras, Greece! Our dogs have been troopers. They will get extra souvkaki once we get to Athens!

Ferry ride is 22 hours to Patras. We'll stay the night there, and then another 2.5 hour drive to Athens!

Since many are discussing cranberries, I'll share a few pics I took of cranberry bogs and harvest from 2021 in New Jersey.

Call me old fashioned, but Black Friday sales on blood work seems a bit of a stretch.

Geneva knows that I'm here. Should I be flattered?

There is a lamp in my hotel room I couldn't figure out how to turn on. Now that I shut off the lights, I see that it is on already and I don't know how to shut it off.

Dear hotel administrator,
White font on a photo of clouds, snow, and a white rail was not your finest decision....
