Ah, how time does fly!
Today was very nice and laid back. I slugged around the condo until well after lunch, working on yesterday’s blog (ssh, I didn’t really write it yesterday – don’t tell!) and finishing one of my books. I’ve nearly run out of books to read. I only brought four, which I was [...]

Puerto Vallarta Day 6: Creepy Spiders & Breakfast Burritos
Posted in Epic Emails, Life, Travel, tagged breakfast burritos, chorizo, mexico, puerto vallarta, spiders on January 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
(Don’t worry – no spiders IN the breakfast burritos.)
It is amazing how quickly you can run out of groceries when you can only bring home as much as you can carry on the bus. So today we went into town for groceries and lunch.
Before completing either of these tasks, we did a bit of wandering [...]
Puerto Vallarta Day 5: Crabs Abound
Posted in Epic Emails, Life, Travel, tagged crabs, mexico, puerto vallarta on January 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
That’s right, crabs are running amok through my vacation, and I am one of them.
I don’t know why, but today I’ve been in a mood that just shouldn’t be allowed to exist on vacations. I’m having a hard time sleeping well, so I suppose that might have something to do with it. An ocean located [...]
Puerto Vallarta Day 4: Night of the Iguanas (and Cat)
Posted in Epic Emails, Life, Travel, tagged cats, iguanas, mexico, mismaloya, movie sets, puerto vallarta on January 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Today’s adventures began with a trip to the little village of Mismaloya, about 15 minutes by daunting bus ride south of here. Aside from a lovely little beach that was populated by nearly as many hawkers of “almost free!” jewelry as it was tourists, Mismaloya is the site where the film Night of the Iguanas [...]
Puerto Vallarta Days 3: A Day In The Life…

There was no traveling on the schedule for today, so we decided to take a walk on the beach in the morning. Bonnie discovered that when you come across a pile of rocks that is within reach of the waves, you can listen as the rocks are rolled over each other by the movement of [...]
Puerto Vallarta Day Two: Town & Taco Surprise

I am totally wiped out. I feel like I’ve been relaxing all day, so I was a little confused about why I should be so tired, but then I realized that in the course of relaxing, I’ve gotten about five times as much exercise as I get on a regular day. Hooray exercise!
We went to [...]
Puerto Vallarta Day One: Evil Alarms and Fresh Margritas
Posted in Epic Emails, Life, Travel, tagged margaritas, mexico, ocean, puerto vallarta, vacation on January 24, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Something about being on a beach makes me want to write. It probably started on Topsail Island, where I was in my phase of compulsive journaling and continued on Tybee Island where keeping a journal was an assignment. I equate beaches with writing and so that’s what I’m in the mood to do tonight. Since [...]
Extra Tacky Year-In-Review Letter
Posted in ASL, Life, Theater, Travel, Writing, tagged family letter, year end on January 3, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Tis the season to receive letters from your far-flung friends and family telling you all about what they, their children, and their pets have accomplished during the past year. I really enjoy this time-honored tradition, since it is frequently the only time I get news from people who haven’t been sucked into Facebook yet.
And there [...]
For My Brother

It has been very subtly brought to my attention that I’ve been slacking off on updating my Sign Blog. That may be true… I’ve been slacking off on a lot of things lately. For now, I’m not going to try to keep up with the sign blog, but I do find so many good signs, [...]
I Brought the Rain to California (You’re Welcome)
Posted in Life, Travel on November 4, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Actually, it’s a family condition. My grandparents are also followed around by unusual weather. It works like this: in the places we usually live, we do not affect the weather at all. If we go to visit each other, the weather in the visited location changes for the worse. This usually means that when my [...]
