The Liebster Award

Warning: It you are not a fellow blogger, you may just want to skip over this post. Although it contains the normal humor, exceptional penmanship and wit, it has little to do with sailing or the Puffster. It is also very long. However, it does reveal some personal information and you might think we should’ve […]

To Toss or Not to Toss

  To Toss or Not to Toss…it has become a frustrating question. As you have read, we are in the throes of tossing stuff. Pun intended. Unfortunately, we have tossed stuff that we later need.  It has become a bit frustrating. I hear Mark mumble around the house that he recently either gave something away […]

The Keys to My Traveling Future

  Today I got a new passport, probably a good thing when you consider I will need one soon. I shelled out the extra money for the thick jumbo 48 page passport giving me plenty of extra pages for country stamps. I hope this is not wishful thinking!   Yes, it is a British passport. […]

The Day the Moccasin Died

I am a person who doesn’t like change. And, we’re not talking nickels and dimes here. For as far back as I can remember, when faced with the purchase of new clothing, I have always wanted the same thing I just had. If I found a dress shirt I really liked, I would buy five. […]

Big News – We’re Both Unemployed!

Today is a very special day. Cindy sold her company and we have just returned from the closing. I’m sure Cindy will add to this later, but knowing her as I do, she will not pat herself on the back. She started her company from scratch with nothing more than an idea. The first day […]

Taking Out The Trash

  We are systematically looking at every item in our house and making a tough assessment. We ask ourselves, do we: Take it to the boat? Put it in a storage unit? Donate it to charity? Put it in the trash? For the past 2 weeks, we worked on the last item: trash. It is […]

Upsizing

I have a new mental picture. It comes to me often. I see our boat sailing on a nice blue sky day. We are off on some nice adventure to some far off land. Behind us, I see a U-Haul (moving van) on a raft holding all the overflow from what will not fit on […]

Ab initio

ab in·i·ti·o  [ahb i-nit-ee-oh; English ab i-nish-ee-oh]  adverb Latin: from the beginning.     It seems this year, a fresh kind of New Year’s Resolutions are taking America by storm, one word resolutions. If I am to believe the mass media, gone are the days of making lists and promises.  This apparently is according to all the people who claim to […]
