November 2025
After an abundant October, November was a bit fallow. I did find out the arthritis in my right foot is a bit more extensive then first thought along with something called Freiberg’s disease which is in all likelihood another gift from when I broke my foot during COVID and nobody wanted to do their jobs!…

October 2025

Exploring Lisbon: A Rainy Boys’ Trip Adventure
Lisbon! It’s a bit of a forgotten European capital. I couldn’t think of a single song about it. There are some, but they are all, and I’m being generous here, forgettable. This is an unusual trip because I’m not here with Lyn! She was home alone for the first time in 35 years! Instead this…
