The travel to Heathrow by air was not too bad. We had a great pair of Air Canada counter employees help us check-in and then board; they seemed to be the majority of the staff and moved back and forth with positive attitudes all the time. (This would prove to be the exception for theContinue reading “Day One: London”

I’m Back…Mostly…
I took a lengthy break from daily blog posts while on a tour of the UK. You’ll be able to read more about that soon, as I dissect the torture—er, I mean vacation trip through England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. Part of the torture came from an intestinal bug that luckily affected only Joyce andContinue reading “I’m Back…Mostly…”
Rocking’ in the UK
I’m currently on the ferry between Ireland and Wales, and we’re rocking back and forth so much my water bottle wants to leave the table. But I wanted to take this moment to express my gratitude and welcome to the now 100 subscribers to this blog! I know I’m no Kim Kardashian, but I findContinue reading “Rocking’ in the UK”
Leader of the Pack (Vroom Vroom)
Do you see yourself as a leader? I read this prompt and said, “Well, yeah!” That was, of course, after the song lyric and motorcycle smoke cleared from my brain. As a college professor and theatre director, I naturally took the lead with classes of students and casts of actors. In the early days ofContinue reading “Leader of the Pack (Vroom Vroom)”
Das Wort
What’s your favorite word? I don’t think I can choose one single word from all the languages of the world as a favorite. (Yes, I know, I don’t know every word of every language, but of the words I do know, I can’t choose one.) So, as usual, when the prompt doesn’t quite work, IContinue reading “Das Wort”
Packing!
What are you doing this evening? Not my favorite thing, but this evening I’ll begin the packing process for our trip to the UK. Blog entries will be spotty at best as we wend our way through England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. The challenge here is to pack for the duration, assuming no laundry facilities,Continue reading “Packing!”
Selfish Self-Centeredness
What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you? This may seem an odd things for me to complain about, since I have often been accused of it myself. Growing up as an only child with few friends, I spent a lot of time alone, so I did focus on myself a greatContinue reading “Selfish Self-Centeredness”
Working for the Weekend?
Describe your ideal week. And of course, the prompt brings forth another lyrical reference: The prompt also makes me ask what’s behind the question. Does it presume a “normal” week of working 9 to 5 (no, I won’t post that video too) followed by antics over a crazy weekend, leading to the Sunday dread andContinue reading “Working for the Weekend?”
Who?
Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why. Let me start out by mentioning professional athletes I know. Um, yes, give me a moment. Wait… Uhhhh… Okay, so I don’t follow any professional sport. I know some athletes’ names from news stories (winning Wimbledon, imprisoned for dog fighting, that sort of thing), orContinue reading “Who?”
Relax? Don’t Do It!
How do you relax? I may have mentioned here in the past that my mind is a free association jukebox. I look at a prompt and a corresponding song comes to mind. As for relaxation, there’s been way too little of that lately. Bits and pieces have been revealed before, but in a nutshell, myContinue reading “Relax? Don’t Do It!”
