Let me start by wishing everyone reading this a happy, healthy and contented new year. Seriously, how did it get to be 2020 already? It seems like only yesterday that our office IT guys were threatening to no longer support our computer system if we didn’t do a “serious” (IT Speak for expensive) upgrade before […]

We’re baaaack home in Philadelphia after our 5 week around the world trip. Our last travel day was a long one from Sydney, Australia (13 hours) to San Francisco, and from San Francisco back home to Philly (5 hours)—not counting the waiting around airports time.

Our Visit to Perth, Western Australia This week’s Hump Day Zentangle Challenge #17 is dedicated to the lovely city of Perth in Western Australia. During our world travels, and even on our two prior trips to elsewhere in Australia, we have met very few Australians who have been to Perth, a metropolitan area of over […]

I’m sorry. I just couldn’t resist the cheesy title of this week’s Hump Day Zentangle Challenge. We have been on the move and are now in the second country of our five week trip around the world. I am writing this from Bulgaria, and it looks like I need to admit that I missed a […]
