HOME AGAIN!

SHARE YOUR WORLD 5-16-2022 I know we were only gone for four days, but it seemed longer. Possibly because every day started very early and ended very late, with a lot of activity in the middle. It could also be that we are getting a bit long in the tooth for extended journeys -- especially by … Continue reading HOME AGAIN!

WAITING AT THE GATE

And here we are. At Delta gate C5 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The flight is two hours late -- so far. Delta has been a mess and not just for us. Pretty much for everyone. Late flights, cancelled flights, broken connecting flights. The flight crews look tired and frazzled, but so do the passengers. We are … Continue reading WAITING AT THE GATE

ONLY BIRDS SHOULD FLY

We have to fly to Minnesota. To the degree that arrangements for old people with "issues" can be made, they have been. Wheelchairs, because neither of us can walk any distance (me even less than Garry). Special seating because Garry is deaf, and they need him near the front, so if they need to talk … Continue reading ONLY BIRDS SHOULD FLY

SHARING MY WORLD

Share Your World 4-12-2022 – Tena Carr, Guest Host Today is the first morning in more than a week when I've gotten up to see a blue sky and sunshine. Even when it hasn't rained, it has been cloudy and grey most days. Often, it was so dark that my photographs looked like they were … Continue reading SHARING MY WORLD

PORT OUT STARBOARD HOME

Steamship was the way to travel. The best was to be on the port side going out to sea and on the starboard side on the way home. That is what POSH means. Port outbound, starboard home. POSH was the best way to travel aboard a steamship. Now, it means something else. Elegant or fancy. … Continue reading PORT OUT STARBOARD HOME

WHERE WOULD YOU TRAVEL?

What if you could travel anywhere? by Rich Paschall If you could go anywhere at all, where would you go? Where would your sense of adventure lead you?  Would it be around the world or around town? Perhaps for you, it would have to be domestic. You could go to St. Louis and see the … Continue reading WHERE WOULD YOU TRAVEL?

QUICKLY BEST FRIENDS

It has nothing to do with hooking up or any other kind of sex. It has to do with becoming the closest of friends with a complete stranger for one afternoon, then never seeing him or her again. One year, about 30 years ago, I was visiting friends in Montreal. I was poor, didn't have … Continue reading QUICKLY BEST FRIENDS

Woodcleft Canal

Freeport, Long Island. It's in Nassau County, the closest county on Long Island to New York City. I grew up in the city ... in Queens, which is a borough of New York. Each of New York's boroughs has its own character and, in many ways, is a city in its own right. Certainly, people … Continue reading Woodcleft Canal
