My title echoes two things: Dr. Smith on the 1960s TV series Lost in Space who was always melodramatically aggrieved and would demonstrate it by saying, “Oh, the pain! The Pain!” The second echo comes from the Ayreon album, The Human Equation, following the mental workings of a comatose man after a car crash. TheContinue reading “Day Eight: The Pain! The Pain!”

Day Seven: Crystal Clear

Part of the torture came from an intestinal bug that luckily affected only Joyce andContinue reading “I’m Back…Mostly…”

Actually, I have nothing to say here today about the travails of traveling, but I did want to comment about these prompts, which seem to be repeating themselves a bit, with minor variations. Since I try to not repeat myself (though I don’t always succeed), I’d like the promptsContinue reading “Travel Travails”
Countries to Visit?
What countries do you want to visit? I was going to begin with a list of places I did not want to visit, but thought that sounded negative, so I’ll begin with the positive “where I do want to go” places. Since we already have a trip to the UK planned for this fall (England,Continue reading “Countries to Visit?”
