The earth is multi-colored and multi-cultured and multi-“emotioned.” My religious experience as a young person also happened […] At first, Captain Random and I thought the dangers of La Conchita kind of funny and romantic and funky. There was the freeway we couldn’t get across and the train that came in the middle of the night and the constant sound of cars. But we expected all that. We knew […] Day two started off at a pace that was almost nonexistant. I didn’t wake up until 10 a.m., much to Captain Random’s alarm. He had been waiting for me for a while. Then there was breakfast to make and my first blog entry to complete.

Hippocrates said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” The saying began the cooking class my son and daughter-in-law sent me and […] Every time someone is hurt by an entry I make, I react by staying away from blogging for several days.
