It’s 8:00 am on Saturday, we’re up, caffeinated, and pretending we’re the kind of people who get a lot done before noon.  So far, the garden is scheduled to eat most of the day, and then we’ll reward ourselves by … Continue reading →

Posted on Thursday, April 23, 2026 by Paul

Today was delightfully uneventful as we headed off to the Elks for Girls’ Night Out and met up with the regulars.  George, as always, ordered his signature dish: a hockey puck.  Honestly, we all need to develop this level of … Continue reading →

It’s Ouchday… We Started Peak Performance

Posted on Wednesday, April 22, 2026 by Paul

What is Ouchday, you ask?  It’s the day—or days—we head to the gym for a little thing called a “workout.” I prefer to call it a sweat session, muscle mayhem, cardio catastrophe, or a full-blown pain parade. Today, I drew … Continue reading →

We Are Off And Running!

Posted on Tuesday, April 21, 2026 by Paul

I was feeling pretty good this morning and strutted around the house, looking for things to add to my “to-do” list.  After 81 years, I am getting this “strutting” down to a science with my dark glasses, jeans jacket, and … Continue reading →

Being the dutiful husband, I was up by 7:00 am, in the kitchen, making a cup of joe for m’lady and bringing it to her. It is now 7:45 am, and I am beginning to shake with the thought that … Continue reading →

Day Two/Sunday: First Full Day In Paradise!

Posted on Sunday, March 22, 2026 by Paul

OK, fine, I’ll confess: I finally clawed my way back to consciousness at around 8:00 am… after approximately fourteen hours of coma-level sleep. We heroically attempted to summon room service like civilized humans, only to discover the tragic truth: there … Continue reading →

Packing Day!

Posted on Friday, March 20, 2026 by Paul
