Zentangle Diva Challenge #275 – Give Peace a Chance

July 12, 2016 23 comments

Peace sign

At one time, I harbored the belief that I had a pure travel blog. On the other hand, the tag line for this Boomeresque blog is “Baby Boomer Travels for the Body and Mind”. Let’s just call this exposition, mind travel. This week, the Zentangle Diva used a guest post by none other than—moi! The […]

November 16, 2015 13 comments

When I’m not performing my duties as a recovering lawyer or as a Certified Zentangle Addict Teacher (CZT), I’m a travel blogger. I have an apparently incurable case of wanderlust I can trace to 1963 when my father took us to live in Mexico for a year. I also enjoy writing and photography, so travel […]

In the Grand Scheme of Things

Honolulu hawaii Hibiscus

The English language is particularly rich in idioms. One I find myself using more often as I pass one milestone birthday after another (most recently the Big 6-Oh), is “the grand scheme of things”. It is difficult to define “the grand scheme of things” precisely. What we learn is that certain things are more or […]

“If You Want to Make God Laugh, Tell Him about Your Plans” — Carpe Diem Edition

Carpe Diem

If you’re a Baby Boomer, you’ve been on this planet long enough to probably concur with the statement: “Life is a trip”. I recently celebrated a milestone birthday. As I suspect it has for many, this occasioned a good deal of reflection on my life so far and my hopes and expectations for the future. […]

Pineapple Quilt at the Hawaii Quilt Guild Show

(Updated on March 27, 2015). E Ho’ononea I Ka Mili Kapa Got that? I didn’t think so. It was the theme of the 2014 quilt exhibit by The Hawaii Quilt Guild at the Honolulu Museum of Art School.

To Write or Not to Write, That is the Question

March 20, 2014 80 comments

letters from Colombia

I need to clarify that by “write”, I mean “hand-write”. This post is inspired by a Facebook discussion started by a homeschooling mother. She, her husband, and two young sons (ages 7 and 9) are traveling the world. She expressed some surprise and disagreement upon learning that some homeschoolers are not teaching their children cursive […]

 As my Boomeresque Facebook friends know, ever since we returned from New Mexico in October, I’ve been mostly consumed by planning our trip to Southeast Asia and Hawaii. Some 32 years ago, I had the dumb luck good fortune to marry someone who gets to travel to warm interesting places as part of his job. […]

Passports with Purpose 2013 – Donate to Help Build Schools in Mali (And You Might Win Cool Prizes Too!)

December 3, 2013 6 comments

As Boomeresque readers have probably divined by now, like most travel bloggers, I have a fairly serious case of wanderlust that has taken me to many parts of the world. Through my travels, I have seen the magnificence of which human beings are capable, but also those who are struggling just to subsist. In 2008, […]
