I'm sure all of you are well aware of the fact that I am badly injured at the moment but as they say in the big leagues, "the show must go on" and by "the show" I am referring to o…

I'm gonna need some recommendations because I will just end up getting these things by the singles since I cannot stand subscription streaming services where people just end up cli…

If you read my work here you already know that I was involved in a bad bicycle accident that ended up taking out of action and forcing me to miss a trail endurance run that I had b…

You know how I have been talking about how I have been training for months for an "upcoming" trail race with my friends and how I have lost 15kg in the process of doing this traini…

I have a very versatile schedule as far as my work is concerned. I do not have a traditional 9-5 monday through friday sort of thing going on and I am very happy that this is the …

Earlier this year I was visiting my friend in Phuket and it occurred to me that I am significantly larger than he is. I have known this guy for more than 20 years so this kind of …

Nadi has been the only stable part of my life for the past 11 years and I am very happy that she is part of it. She is old now and will be turning 12 soon and that is pretty old …

Now this is something that I never thought I would do here and I was surprised and a bit delighted to find out that a place like this even exists. Before we get too excited you…

While the focus lately has been on bowling I am still getting out there on my bicycle every couple of days in my continued search for the perfect quiet place. I haven't exactly f…

One of the greatest resorts in Negros Oriental is Dauin Beach because of its view. It is a location that offers happiness, tranquilly, and lifelong memories. As you gaze at the hor…

I've had some level of insomnia almost all of my life. It is extremely rare that I am tired when you "are supposed to be tired" and on the flip side I spend a great deal of time f…

I really like bowling a lot. I wouldn't say that I love it and there is a very real reason why: I am good enough at it that at a certain point if you are not doing well the game …

About 5 years ago I left traditional social media behind because I got tired of the bickering and mostly political soap-boxing. I miss out on a few pictures of cousins that I forg…

I have quite a few friends that live here in Da Nang and quite a few people I know that pop in and out. Vietnam is a relatively easy country to get visas for and the process is ra…

So I finally made it through the 4 books that are in the Giver Quartet written by Lois Lowry. The first book was written in 1993 and the way it ends it doesn't appear as though th…

Life for me in Vietnam doesn't change a great deal and a lot of this is because I am a creature of routine. I used to be Mr. Adventure and everything that I did almost every day …

There really isn't a lot of nature here in the sprawling city of Da Nang and if there is any of it, it is probably some tiny park that is going to be completely overrun with other …

I am only recently finding this out because it is happening to me now as well. In the past it has happened to many other expats living in Vietnam but I guess I was given a sort of…

We continue our literary journey in books that are follow-ups to a very famous book called "The Giver" whose success may have inspired author Lois Lowry to bother making the 3 book…

Maybe it is just years of abuse that has "trained" my body to not be able to tolerate alcohol anymore and I think the only answer going forward is going to be avoiding it altogethe…
