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 last flight back home was on American Airlines, the […]

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 […]

In last Wednesday’s Hump Day Zentangle challenge, I was feeling all light-hearted about our upcoming flight to Athens to begin our five week around the world trip.

Most Americans (United Statesers) in my demographic remember where we were when three major events in the life of our country happened: President Kennedy was assassinated; Neil Armstrong walked on the moon; and, on 9/11. (I realize most of the rest of the world thinks of it as 11/9). Where Were You on 9/11/2001? I […]

Labor Day and Steampunk- A Smidgen of History I guess a history major can graduate from college, but she’ll still always be searching for historical underpinnings. So, please excuse me while I learn something about Labor Day “out loud”. In the United States and in Canada, we celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday in […]

Stuff Happens It’s still Wednesday (Hump Day) in my neck of the global woods, but I apologize for the fact that this week’s challenge will be published later than intended. I wish I could be as focused as Mr. Excitement and finish projects before they’re actually due, but after 37 years of being married to […]

There are certain things that seem to be hard-wired in human beings. Every culture has a myth of creation. We want to know where we come from, how we got here. And, every culture has music.

Today is the first Wednesday in August. August!?! Seriously? July, we hardly knew ya’ and here we are 7 days into August. They say the passage of time seems to speed up as we age because each passing day (and hour) is a smaller percentage of our lives. As someone who is no longer asked […]
