Thursday Potential New Website Ahead! Just a quick journal entry. I am exploring a new option for my website. It will not have all the bells and whistles…not even a place for blogging. However, the simplicity and low-techiness of it appeals to me, and I can point my domain to it. The cool thing about… Continue reading April 3, 2025

Friday Just a quick journal entry. It’s been over a week since I wrote in this online journal. Last week was a bit of a production blur with both my Pink Dandelions newsletter and a Type M for Murder post AND a guest post coming out. What have I done since then? I addressed and… Continue reading March 28, 2025

Friday This week has been a challenge for several reasons, but mostly because I am experiencing some annoying and troubling pain in my wrists and finger joints. Feet, too, to a lesser extent. It’s really hard to enjoy life or concentrate on work when you hurt. It’s worse when you have no idea why this… Continue reading March 14, 2025

Wednesday So I borrowed The Testaments by Margaret Atwood from the Naval Base Guam library a couple of weeks ago. I was so happy to find the library! Anyway, I started reading it but realized I’d forgotten details of The Handmaid’s Tale. I’d read it in the very early 1990s. Maybe actually 1990, and though… Continue reading March 5, 2025

Thursday On Monday, President’s Day, C and I decided to check out various beaches on Naval Base Guam. We stopped at one and found it crawling with ants and very little shade. As it was early afternoon, this wasn’t great, but it did look like a nice place to try out snorkeling if we can… Continue reading February 20, 2025

Friday This rainbow greeted me first thing this morning. It’s Valentine’s Day here in Guam, but honestly I didn’t even have it on my radar until we went into the NEX/commissary on base yesterday. Oh, look! Balloons! Flowers! We picked up a box of chocolates for today, but each of us had one last night… Continue reading February 14, 2025

Monday Well, three days after getting the internet, the router stopped working. Called GTA for tech support and nobody answered until late in the afternoon. The tech guy said everything looked good as far as he could see, so it was probably the router. He advised we go to the nearest GTA store and ask… Continue reading February 10, 2025

Thursday Airplanes. Yesterday while out on the balcony, I heard so many planes. I did a search about it on the internet, and I learned there’s a upcoming big and important joint exercise planned with us, Japan, and Australia, so maybe they were practicing. Today, I haven’t heard as many jets, but I’ve been inside… Continue reading January 30, 2025

Wednesday Our offer on an apartment was accepted, and we take possession at the end of the week. Without our possessions. Unless they miraculously appear in the next couple of days. Meanwhile, I’m enjoying the hotel ambiance and went down to the cafe for a latte just before lunch and whiled away a couple hours… Continue reading January 29, 2025
