Seen last night at our favorite restaurant/bar in the world, Na Moita.  I believe that we’ve seen them there before, but they didn’t have the banner behind them.  Kinda hard to forget their names when you see that banner all night – pretty good idea.  Gustavo plays a great guitar, and they both can sing.…

I’m updating information about our new house.  To keep things organized, I’m adding a page for every part of the work.  I got the kitchen and front lawn pages done today.  The upstairs bathroom page will likely get done tomorrow or so.  The new page listings can be found to the left of this post.…

For those of you that have missed me (Hi Mom!), I can announce that I presently find myself with time to blog again. What’s been going on? I’ve been busy.  Really busy.  My job is nuts, and has caused me a lot of anguish lately.  I’m still employed – for now, anyway. We’ve moved.   Not…

Four years ago, the little island of Cozumel had its butt kicked by Hurricane Wilma. Since then, there have been loads of improvements in the San Miguel area. One of my former complaints about San Miguel was the condition of the sidewalks – they used to be a mess.  One had to pay attention while…

Any diver that has been to Cozumel has likely looked askance at the sunburned pod people disgorged by the continually arriving cruise ships, blaming them for the changes to what was once a sleepy little dive paradise.  For the last week or so, I have been here in Cozumel and there have only been one…

Ugh.  Fourteen straight fourteen-hour days.  Not your average garden variety days at work, but special days, complete with special meetings – lots of them, where you get assigned tasks that could easily get done except that you have to prepare for another meeting in an hour or so….. Not to use that as an excuse,…

Those of you that voted for the Democrat Party in the last election – did you vote for this? Our government directly controls our auto industry, and is telling it how to run its business. Our government directly controls our largest banks (and many small ones) and will do the same to them. This government…

Tonight was the annual business meeting and dinner of the little credit union at work. Eighty-eight people attended, and we had a really nice time.  Drinks, dinner, a bit of business (5 minutes or so) and then dancing.  Not a bad way to spend a Saturday evening.  Monica and I had a nice time. This…

The internet has all sorts of ways to waste your time.  This, of course, is one of them.  Another effective one is to decide that you want to buy  a new car.  One can spend hours researching and looking over what the market has to offer.  Craigslist is one pretty good place to look for…

This evening, I wrote a detailed post about my experience today in Family Court.  I’ve decided not to publish it out of respect for my children.  It did make me feel better to write it down, though. Just to give you an idea, I’ll include one picture from my never-to-see-the-light-of-day post. and that’s enough of…
