Chapter 27 Alys was surprisingly composed when we arrived to make the call to the hospital according to JE procedure to admit Nino. There was a suitcase in the hall next to the sofa that she said was for her upcoming Prague conference. Other than the constant trembling in her hands that she was...
The water off of Hempstead Harbor Park was absolutely calm, not even a ripple, with a mist over it so you could barely see across Hempstead Harbor. It was a warm and humid morning when Nicole, Tatiana, and I arrived for the Long Island Gold Coast Triathlon in Port Washington early on Sunday. This...
It’s about time we talked about Hyundai cars! Perhaps, they don’t need some attention because they’re getting a lot lately. Hyundai cars today are making their statement and what they are trying to convey really catches the car buyers’ and the automobile aficionados eyes’ and attention. I...
What are 10 things you've done that other people probably haven't? Submitted by Janette. I'm not sure I can come up with ten, but I'll try: 1: Moved on less than 3 days notice to a foreign country for a new job on the strength of a phone call with just two suitcases of possessions to survive with....
I got a lot of emails and letters when I was deployed, and I didn't have time to respond to all of them personally. Instead I would write essay style form letters that described what I was ding or how I was feeling at the time. These form letters were typically laced with humor and I received many...
Can weight loss surgery really change your life??? Let me count the ways! You may or may not be aware of what "they say" about how someone who emerges from alcoholism has to learn to grow up socially because they checked out when the disease takes hold of their life. It is much the same for many of...
We decided it was time to leave Maturín to see the big sea just north of us. It started with a run to the bus station. No buses going that day so we went home. The next day we went back. No buses again. That was it we decided to take a "Por Puesto" which translates as roughly "For Hire" which is...
(Click on any of the photos to view a larger version) The flight from Heathrow to Mexico City was pleasant, uneventful and, at 9 hours, quite long so it gave me an opportunity to try out the Nikon S10 point-and-shoot digital camera that we’d bought recently to use when my wife’s Canon SLR is a...
Written Dec. 2, 2006 in Missouri. It is nearly impossible to pee in a bottle and not get piss on yourself. I'm parked on the side of the road in a black neighborhood just outside of Kansas City. The 7-11 gas station doesn't offer a public restroom to its patrons, and the empty plastic liter bottle...
Vieques is a small island of the eastern coast of Peurto Rico. Angela and I spent two days exploring the island from our home base at "Casa de Kathy" (kind of a B&B, but without the Breakfast). Highlights of Vieques... * Lots of wild horses everywhere. On the side of the road, in people's yards, in...

I need to make my bed because it's very uncomfortable. For some reason last night I was tossing and turning all night and I ripped my sheets off and our beds are like.. plastic so I feel like my arms/face/whatever isn't clothed is just going to stick to the bed. I hate prison furniture. Bad bad...

It was a beautiful evening when a good friend of mine called to meet up at The Curve for a coffee. I was looking forward for it because I got to test drive his brand new Mini Cooper! Well, some people might think it's just another Mini. Well not for me because I've been missing my Mini since 2001....
The compact car with something for everyone. What's new for the 2006 Honda Civic: Redesigned; new model. With such a wide range of models, the best sweeping statement to sum up the Honda Civic is that it tries to do everything a small car can do -- and mostly succeeds. Most consumers probably look...

More racing this weekend, and it was great. I rode in one of the Circuito de Evesham races. I'm a category 5 racer, or the lowest level. Often this is a liability because my choice of races is very limited. Again this weekend, there was only one (of five) race categories that I could take part in,...
