The Final Act

All the pickup trucks here I’ve seen are 4 doors. What’s going on? Tonight was the last Half and Half radio show with Mme J for the visit; next week Mme Awesome will be spinning chants, so check it out! Like the prior times, it was a ton of fun.…

The Sweetest Thing

Isn’t it lovely watching a parent and child having a great time together? We witnessed a father playing with his perhaps 9 year old son in a stream whose waters wait for low tide to drain into the ocean. The father’s desire to enjoy the time on his son’s terms…

Fireflies of the Sea

Today was a three swim day. First at the south end of the beach in the calm waters regularly seen at low tide when the isthmus is exposed. Next farther up by the surfies diving into four footers. Last at the the north end of Tryphena in the sheltered waters…

Frolicking

Our morning commute begins with an initial descent to the sands. Today we were given a great show of a small boy and girl surfing the smaller waves over and over that kept us smiling as we walked by. Farther from the shelter of the southern cove, the waves grew…

Customs

Where we are from it is common to essentially ignore people walking by. No waving or even eye contact. True, some neighborhoods are different than others, and it is a large and varied country.

Another super awesome Half and Half with Mme J. Here is the playlist: Philosophy / Ben Folds Tom Sawyer / Rush Girl Gone Bad / Van Halen You Shook Me All Night Long / AC/DC Rock of Ages / Def Leppard Paul Revere / Beastie Boys Paid in Full /…

Quandaries

I’m on the air again tomorrow. The playlist is organized and ready. Alas I’m having second thoughts, predominantly because none of the people I’ve interacted with here come across as favoring the first couple of songs. In short, while I sure like them and doubtless would be singing along, I…

Sands of Time

We have the luxury and delight of experiencing the ever changing Kaitoke Beach morning and evening as we make our way to and from Mme J and M R’s splendid abode. Today’s return trip was on surprisingly firm sand. Maybe because it was high tide? Or the several days of…

A Fish Monger

Moon over Kaitoke Beach Mme Awesome is teaching a class over the next few Saturdays on pelvic health here on GBI. We’ve been going over the material and goodness I’m benefiting. Specifically, on today’s ride, without going through any mobility stuff, I had really good right hip mechanics. Nice, right?…
