Time

I have been reading a lot about the concept of time lately. It has served to help me gain a different perspective on my world and my perception of it. I took actual holiday time from work and arranged a holiday for my son and I abroad to the Pacific coast of Mexico over New … Continue reading Time

Cuban Cigars

One of the many "jobs" I was able to try out in Cuba was rolling Cuban cigars.

One of the many times I visited the Acropolis it happened to be a national holiday and a whole troupe of traditionally dressed men were there. We came a little late apparently and missed whatever they had been doing. At the time they were also conducting major renovations work on the columns. I'd imagine this … Continue reading Rebuilding

I've been fortunate in my short little life to have had more than one place to call home. I have even had more than one continent to serve as my home base. Many places, including my current home have served numerous purposes. A place to rest, retreat, find safety, warmth and comfort. I was fortunate … Continue reading Home
