Just feeling sore. Seven months post open heart surgery and still not 100%. Benn away from home 10 nights and I’m ready to be home. As much as I like to travel, I’m glad I have no big trips panned in the near future. I’ll get the itch to travel again but I hope not…
A few more days on the Carnival Panorama. Then no cruising in the foreseeable future. During this trip world famous basketball star Kobe Bryant died in a tragic helicopter crash along with Eight others including his 13 year old daughter. Just awful. Makes me think G-d laughs while we make plans He was 41 years…

I couldn’t even guess what number cruise this is I’m on. Carnival Panorama. It is safe to say I’ve cruised over 100 times. And I’ve probably been on over 100 cruise ships. I love cruising but except to take the grandkids or to lead a group I think I’m done. I never thought in my…

Grandpa, tell me a story. Never entered my mind that I would hear that until it actually happened. My grandson Jake who is already 5 years old asked me that a few years back. And I had to come up with something really quick. SO I told him the Time Woody story, about my older…
There hasn’t been a moment in my life when I wasn’t interested in history or the news or current events. I always wanted to know what was going on in the world. And in school, social studies and history were my favorite subjects. So when big events were going on I was always in front…
