Hope You are Doing Well


Greetings, we've made it to the end of the month and are one day closer to Spring. I am alive and well and have frequently planned to write in this blog, but just as frequently got distracted. As a result I am still posting only once or twice a month.

I have a lot to say about the current administration in the United States, but you'll need to stay tuned for my take on Washington and the way the media has reacted.

My most written about topic has always been sports. I won't go into detail about the game, but congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks on winning the NFL Championship. The Seahawks made the New England Patriots offense look like a seventh grade flag football team. I enjoyed the first half and the tough defense displayed by Seattle and New England. The second half wasn't much to see as Seattle exerted its dominance.

Look for more thoughts from an old man in the middle of the Midwest United States.

Happy 2026!

Happy New Year!

2025 was a mixed year for me. Our Mom passed away in mid-July and I'm still grieving her death.

But, in early November I experienced the joy of going back to Europe for a ten day vacation. We visited Portugal and Spain and I am learning to embrace the slower approach to life and living at a slower pace than in the United States. I also found a spot I could move to and become an ex-pat. I will go into that in a future post.

I hope 2026 is your best year yet yet and brings you health, peace, joy and happiness!
