Some people say they love New York. Not me. My three favorite cities are all in Asia: Singapore, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. Sadly, Hong Kong is being slowly destroyed by Carrie Lam and Xi Jin Shit for Brains. But as I proved this month – Tokyo survives! And it’s still a thriving and wonderful city.… Continue reading Out and about at the old homestead.

Throwback Thursday. The Maid’s Day Off.
Under the idea of changing things up a bit, I have decided to use Thursdays to re-post some of what I think are my better postings over the last 14 years. Plus hopefully, it will bring them to a new set of readers. This is one of my early posts written 4 months after I… Continue reading Throwback Thursday. The Maid’s Day Off.
Till the cows come home…
To Mayrhofen, Austria that is. The S.O. and I are probably long past any point in life where we could even hope to do something reckless exciting like run with the bulls at Pamplona. So this past weekend, we settled for the next best thing. We drove down to Mayrhofen Austria to witness the walking… Continue reading Till the cows come home…

The scenery is great, the food and wine excellent, and its off the beaten path (somewhat) of European tourist attractions. We… Continue reading Porto

We had wanted to go someplace different and we wanted to be on the Mediterranean Sea. Corsica delivered for us and was a wonderful… Continue reading Corsica
Home for a while and wanting to blow up my TV.
It was a long week down in the land of milk and honey, but got back Friday and have spent the week recuperating. The days were long and I logged a lot of miles around Yisrael. Speaking of roads, I had to get out on Friday instead of staying to hit the long ball because… Continue reading Home for a while and wanting to blow up my TV.
Whirlwind
It’s been a busy couple of weeks. The Friday after Labor Day, I boarded a plane for California, Los Angeles to be specific to do work out on the west coast for a week. I left early because I wanted time to adjust to the time change and also to take the opportunity to revisit… Continue reading Whirlwind
While I was out.
He seized his axe, which he had made very sharp, and as the leader of the wolves came on the Tin Woodman swung his arm and chopped the wolf’s head from its body, so that it immediately died.
Krakow
The S.O. and I went to Krakow for a long weekend. This is St. Mary’s Basilica in the center of the old city ( click to see properly):
