Throwing Up Emeril’s Food

When you are throwing up it’s hard to wax poetic, but afterward it’s a different story, isn’t it?
Emeril’s Table 10 in Las Vegas is not the typical restaurant Irene and I would eat in. We are far too frugal for that, but this one time it seemed like a good idea. We hadn’t eaten at [...]

The KOA as a Power of Darkness

KOA stands for, irritatingly, a perhaps intentially-mispelled Campgrounds of America, and apparently at one time was a force among RV Campgrounds, and still might be if you still habitually harbor the small, young, loud and unwashed, and by this I don’t mean you…you are certainly no longer young…but it does include your children, or at [...]

The Frog that Came To Stay

Do you remember Froggie, in Wind in the Willows? Adopting every fad that came by as the final answer to a question that he probably would never even ask himself? Discarding it just as quickly? Vroooom, vroom, racing around from bikes to boats to cars and back again.
I get that frog, and I suppose I [...]

Looking for Work in All the Wrong Places

Compared to these guys, I have no work ethic at all.
In fact, I’m sitting pretty today, typing away in an amazingly tasteful and even more comfortable customer lounge, (and, hey, you wanna look? Check it ooouuutttt….), Irene and I just waiting (and OH how we love waiting!) for six things to simultaneously get done on [...]

In Search of a New Body

I’ve been dismayed about how difficult it is, when older, to lose weight. Of course I haven’t stopped eating, which may give me a clue as to the reasons for the difficulties. In fact yesterday….another community pig-out celebrating Memorial Day here at the Allegro Campground in Red Bay, where a couple hundred of us strays [...]

We’re not Special, We’re in Red Bay….

We are in Red Bay, Alabama, visiting the Tiffin Motor Home factory in hopes of having some needed work completed on our coach. We have an appointment (for today) but we’ve already been told our appointment is “actually for ’some time on the 14th’ “, as opposed to oh-dark-thirty, so I am instead updating you [...]

Good, Bad, Ugly

Today Spyro had us up at 4 AM with diarrhea and vomiting, prompting even more anxiety given Rocky’s recent troubles. When Spy then stopped eating entirely, an absolute first for a dog that will eat week-old lettuce with gusto, we rushed him to the vet. He was there by 7:30 AM and he was on [...]

Walter, Robin, Nate and Rudy’s…..

I guess anyone would wonder if the connection is still there. I mean, we hadn’t seen Walter and Robin in nearly 30 years. And, although Walt and I were best friends in high school, and stayed in touch for years after that, once we did drift apart…well, I wondered if the vibe was still there. [...]
