Weekly Update: Aug 23, 2017

Posted on August 24, 2017 by Annie

A day late posting the weekly, but, hey, I think a colonoscopy is a great excuse for not hitting this particular self-imposed deadline. It was a busy week even before that momentous event, so read on… I spent the weekend in Boston, and I still think of it as my “forever home” even though I’ve not lived there since 2000. I did live there twelve years, enough time for it to sink into my bones and feel as if I am coming home whenever I visit. I was staying in a hotel close to the action, which included the counter-protest…

Monday Musings: Fortune Cookies

Posted on August 21, 2017August 30, 2020 by Annie

My dinner Saturday night came with three fortune cookies, all apt for looking back at the year since I retired. I did take the chance to leave full-time work and strike out on the vagabond trail with my little trailer. I’ve not been daring enough to do any boondocking on my own, so that’s a goal for the next year. That’s one chance I’ll be learning to take. I’m sure there are more ahead, I just can’t name them yet. Onward and upward! I originally thought endurance referred to the almost constant motion of being a vagabond but then the…

Weekly Update: Aug 16, 2017

Posted on August 16, 2017 by Annie

Still on Cape Cod, still doing hand therapy twice a week plus self-guided sessions 4x a day, still doing beach walks. It’s been a fun place to hang out, and if only I didn’t have to do all the hand stuff, I’d probably say it was a beach bum week with great sunsets. The one above was just down the street, on a meadow-lined path to the beach. And this one was Tuesday night at Quissett Harbor. I need to go back there and do some more photography. I did do some real work, got a dashcam on sale at…

Seattle by the Sea

Posted on August 15, 2017April 2, 2019 by Annie

It’s been a year this week since I left Seattle after four years of living and working there, and I do miss it. Summer is a glorious time in the Pacific Northwest: blue skies, blue water, cool breezes, and sunshine. From October to May, it’s grey skies and gloom, but the summer makes up for it in a big, big way. So come along with me on my last ferry ride out of Seattle a year ago… The skyline always makes me smile, from seeing the Space needle to Columbus Tower at the southern end. Somewhere in there was where…

Sunday Serenity: Grim Reality

Posted on August 13, 2017 by Annie

I have been reading the news and my heart just can’t make sense of it. Why on earth, in America, do we have neo-Nazis giving salutes and fomenting hatred of others? And why, in America, do we have a President who will not call them out for it, who does not say this is completely unacceptable? I am angry, I am sad, I am frustrated. I wonder what will become of us. And don’t even get me started on the handling of North Korea. Who in their right minds wants to start a nuclear war? Let’s get out of the…
