A Little More Lighthearted.

This post was originally published on 6 Feb, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog. Going back a few days here. This was the couple of days after my TIA, in the town of Nha Trang, Vietnam, where we visited the second of three hospitals. We managed to have fun in spite of the […]

TIA’s And Travel.

This post was originally published on 5 Feb, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog. I’m alright! Cue the Kenny Loggins here. I really want to thank everyone for their concern and for reaching out to us over the last week. It has been a bit frightening at times, traveling abroad in places where English […]

Tam.

This post was originally published on 29 Jan, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog I can’t even begin to tell you how grateful I am to this girl. She is the best part of the best parts of humanity, and the best part of my waking up every day (well, along with coffee). […]

Little Plastic Chairs And Fear.

This post was originally published on 28 Jan, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog. Tam and I have been at this for years. We have worked hard for the twenty-five years we have been together, and really put our energy into this retirement plan for the last five of those. We did the […]

Vietnamese Emergency Rooms.

This post was originally published on 28 Jan, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog. We had the distinct pleasure of visiting a couple of emergency rooms here in Vietnam on Wednesday. It was a bit of a scary story, and at this time, everything is okay. I walked into a bathroom at the […]

Poklongarai Temple.

This post was originally published on 28 Jan, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog. The Poklongarai towers were built for, well, yes, King Poklongarai. They were built during his lifetime, in the late 13th and early 14th centuries. He was a pretty popular king to the Cham people, and was revered for being […]

Chuc Mung Nam Moi

This post was originally published on 25 Jan, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog. Or, Happy New Year! Tam and I were really excited about the Tet holiday this year. It is the Vietnamese new year, based on the Chinese lunar new year. We were too busy and tired this year at home, […]

Landscapes

This post was originally published on 22 Jan, 2023, and moved here, to my new blog. We found this great little stretch of coastline. It has the greatest rock formations, and some of my favorite landscapes, where the arid desert meets the blue ocean. There is something that feels so impossible about such a parched […]

Kiting, Finally!

This post was originally published on 20 Jan, 2023, and moved here to my new blog. On arrival we (probably more me) were horrified to find that there was no wind in the forecast for the first four days we were here. I was going a little crazy for that four days. Then the wind […]

My Hoa Lagoon.

This post was originally published on 17 Jan, 2023, and moved here to my new blog. The other night, walking back from a restaurant down the lagoon, we thought there was fog rising off the water creating this very strange effect. It was not. The water was so calm that it was the reflection of […]
